Sold individually so you can build a true dual-mono system, each M-3 delivers 160 watts into 4 ohms with the vivid, spatial, blur-free sound that has made Soulnote a name whispered among serious listeners.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePriced per unit; two are required for stereo.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePurist Power, Industrial Muscle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA non-NFB single push-pull output stage uses industrial-grade can-type transistors in a four-stage Darlington configuration for low distortion and effortless drive, fed by an enormous ultra-low-loss 1600 VA non-epoxy-filled toroidal transformer and high-speed SiC rectifier diodes. Type-R non-NFB differential circuits handle voltage amplification, and copper-plate heat sinks — integrated with the bus bars and physically isolated from the chassis — keep everything cool and quiet. A six-spike isolation system grounds the whole thing directly to your rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Disappear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith just an XLR input and speaker terminals — no selectors, no microcontrollers — the M-3 is single-minded about one job.
