Know before you buy
LASA 2.0 is MBL's proprietary technology that combines the sonic purity of Class A and AB amplifiers with the efficiency of Class D. It ensures the amplifier remains stable even with complex, low-impedance speaker loads, resulting in a sound that is both highly detailed and dynamically powerful.
Yes. With a peak output current of 36 amperes and 560 watts into 4 ohms, the N15 is designed specifically to handle demanding loudspeakers that require significant current to maintain control over the drivers.
Absolutely. The N15 features multiple XLR inputs and outputs, making it straightforward to daisy-chain units for bi-amping setups if your speakers support it.
SmartLink allows the N15 to communicate with other MBL components in your system. This enables synchronized power-on and power-off sequences, simplifying the operation of your high-end audio chain.
Soft clipping gently rounds off the signal peaks if the amplifier is pushed to its absolute limit. This prevents harsh, audible distortion, ensuring that your music remains listenable even during high-volume transients.
Yes, the N15 uses a massive toroidal transformer shielded with Mu-metal technology. This robust design minimizes electromagnetic interference, ensuring the power delivery is clean and the background remains silent.
