Know before you buy
No, the PM-10 is a purely analog integrated amplifier. It does not feature an internal digital-to-analog converter, which helps eliminate potential digital noise interference for a cleaner signal path.
Yes, the unit features a dedicated Power Amp input. This allows you to bypass the internal preamplifier section and use the PM-10 as a pure power amplifier, which is useful if you want to integrate it into a home theater setup or use a separate high-end preamp.
The dual-mono design uses separate power supplies for the preamplifier and each power amplifier channel. This physical and electrical separation prevents crosstalk between channels, resulting in a wider soundstage and improved clarity.
The PM-10 is rated for 100W per channel at 8 Ohms and 200W at 4 Ohms, making it capable of driving a wide range of high-fidelity speakers. Its robust power delivery ensures it can handle demanding loads while maintaining signal integrity.
The 'Purest Mode' disables any unnecessary circuits and signal processing to provide the most direct path for your audio. It is designed to minimize interference and deliver the cleanest possible signal from your source to your speakers.
Yes, the PM-10 utilizes a fully balanced design from the input stage through to the final power section. This push-pull operation helps cancel out noise and distortion, ensuring the signal remains accurate and clean throughout the amplification process.
