The Kharma MP150 mono power amplifier illustrates that originality consists of returning to the origin. This amplifier has a very solid and compact design, which is almost totally made out of aluminium. In the design process, the form and function of this amplifier are matched in perfect harmony.
The MP150 is the perfect solution for an integrated design in the active version of the Matrix speaker line. However, this MP150 can also be easily combined with other stereo sets, where the presence of musicality is the greatest gain. An additional advantage is the modest size of this amplifier.
Kharma MP150 Features
The Matrix MP150 amplifier is a proprietary switching amplifier. It uses a unique pulse control scheme that takes feedback only from the speaker terminals. There is no feedback loop from the switching output used. The result is extremely low output impedance over the entire bandwidth.
The damping factor is >400 up to 2 kHz and >100 at 20 kHz. The frequency response is 1 Hz-50 kHz (+0,-3dB) and is completely independent of the load impedance.
THD and IMD are very low (<0.02%) and completely independent of frequency, like a good zero-feedback amplifier.
