Product Description
The Michi S5 stereo power amplifier is the best Class AB linear amplifier in its class, capable of delivering 500 watts into 8 ohms and over 800 watts into 4 ohms. Dual-mono construction features oversized 2,200 VA independent toroidal transformers for each channel, manufactured in-house and encased in individual epoxy-filled enclosures to eliminate noise and vibration. A set of four English-made 188,000 uF filter capacitors ensures exceptional low-end control and precision of every detail, while 32 high-current devices in the output stages ensure smooth power delivery under the most demanding load conditions.

Excellent audio performance is achieved by combining careful design with meticulous tuning. This is demonstrated by the S5 preamplifier, where countless hours of design, testing, and critical evaluation of the most important components have resulted in the accuracy and fidelity of reproduction worthy of the Michi brand.

This amplifier features a sleek design, a color front display, and exclusive dual rhodium-plated, high-current output terminals. The included remote control allows for easy setup and control, while RS232 and Ethernet interfaces facilitate integration with all popular automation systems.
