LUXMAN L-505Z

Integrated amplifier designed to honor the L-505 model, one of LUXMAN's most renowned, featuring the new "LIFES" amplifier feedback engine, which is at the core of the company’s modern designs. This model integrates the knowledge gained from higher-end models, offering superior sound quality and advanced functionality. The L-505Z represents an evolution in high-end audio, redefining industry standards.

Equipped with the "LIFES" engine, the L-505Z uses advanced technology to improve static characteristics and reduce distortion, while maintaining a natural sound similar to that of a feedback-free system. The circuit has been completely redesigned and simplified, achieving superior performance. The push-pull configuration of the output stage delivers amplified power, with 100W+100W at 8Ω and 150W+150W at 4Ω.

The volume control, essential for sound quality, is managed by the LECUA electronic system, allowing precise and smooth volume adjustment across 88 steps, preventing variations in audio quality. Additionally, the L-505Z features a discrete buffer for the preamplifier section, enhancing signal fidelity and driving energy for the power amplifier. For vinyl, it includes a high-quality MM/MC compatible phono EQ circuit, enabling exceptional analog playback.

The power supply is ensured by a LUXMAN 540VA transformer, providing instantaneous power to accurately reproduce musical dynamics while maintaining a stable voltage under any load fluctuation. The VU meters with white LED backlighting and the 7-segment display allow monitoring of volume levels, while high-quality headphone terminals improve channel separation, providing a three-dimensional listening experience.

The L-505Z also features tone controls, loudness, and LR balance adjustment, enabling bi-amping configurations or integration with AV amplifiers. The internal design is optimized for interference-free signal transmission, using OFC copper cables and a loopless chassis structure to reduce ground impedance. The multifunctional aluminum remote control allows operation of the L-505Z and other compatible LUXMAN devices.
