MBL N51

Integrated amplifier.
Pre-amplifier and power amplifier built into one chassis – the most popular choice for music lovers

- UNITY GAIN – improved transparency and resolution, lower noise floor, higher dynamic range
- LASA 2.0 power amplifier – homogeneous tonal balance throughout frequency range
- Soft Clipping – goes gently into clipping, never aggressive or distorted
- Analog toroidal transformer with protective shield
- 2 x 380 watts (4Ω) power, 28 Amp peak output current


General description / special features:  
LASA 2.0 amplifier – MBL-developed technology that combines the advantages of
different amplifier concepts. The resultant amplifier is perfectly suited to drive complex
loads such as loudspeakers, ensuring that the frequency response remains stable even at
varying loads and has a homogeneous tonal balance throughout frequency range
UNITY GAIN function for improved transparency and resolution of music through a lower
noise floor and greater dynamic range
Soft Clipping – even at very high volumes the amplifier goes gently into clipping mode,
never sounding aggressive or distorted
Power supply is built around an analog toroidal transformer with protective shield
technology in its MU-metal enclosure
380 watts (4 Ω) power with 28 Amp peak output current, values that ensure a sovereign
and unconstrained performance even at higher volume levels
Rectifier with low recovery losses
Simple selection of the music source by intelligently managed inputs from all connected
devices (eg CD-DAC)
Analogue volume control via stepping motor and potentiometer
Unused inputs can be deactivated, eliminating interference with the input selection   
The maximum volume during power-on can be limited by a simple menu setting, to
prevent dangerously high levels (eg protection of children's ears)
High-quality, vibration-damped full copper loudspeaker connections (binding posts) by
the German manufacturer WBT
5’’ color TFT display, 6 smart keys
MBL SmartLink version 2.0, employed to network MBL devices with the exchange of
status information
Intelligent remote control concept for easy operation
SD-card slot for easy firmware and display content update
“Made in Germany” development and production made in MBL’s own factory in Berlin
