Soulutions Announce 511 Amplifier
Swiss manufacturer Soulutions have been in touch to tell Hifi Pig about their new 511 amplifier that will start production in October 2016 and will cost 24500CHF (around £17000). The 511 has the same switched-mode power supply found on the company’s 7 series products and is optimised for audio use.
The 511 can be used in three distinct modes:
Stereo-mode (150W @8Ohms, 300W @4Ohms and 600W at 2Ohms)
Dual-mode which gives the same results as above.
Mono-mode (600W @8Ohms, 1200W at 4Ohms and 2000W at 2Ohms)
The amplification circuit is similar to the 711 and 701 amps from Soulutions having at its core a proprietary voltage amplification stage that consists of linearized amplifiers operating up to a cutoff frequency of 80MHz. The Class A operation is supplemented by 500 000 µF of capacitance storage in the power supply
There are a total of 10 power supplies in the 511with those supplying audio and digital circuits being isolated from each other with optocouplers.
