The Modern Classic: Britain's All-Rounder, Perfected

Some amplifiers win on features. The Exposure 3510 Integrated Amplifier wins the old-fashioned way — by making music sound so complete that reviewers reach for superlatives. Successor to the long-running, much-loved 3010, the 3510 is the heart of Exposure's range: 110 watts per channel of Class AB muscle, drawing its circuit refinements from the flagship 5010 monoblocks, in a minimalist full-width case that Hi-Fi News affectionately compared to the golden age of British integrateds. Secrets of Home Theater called it "the most musically complete, balanced integrated amplifier I have heard in years" — and it earned StereoNET's Applause Award along the way. Fifty years of Brighton engineering, one seriously honest box.

What's Inside the Understated Case

Exposure's recipe hasn't changed because it works: a beefy Class AB output stage built on fast Toshiba bipolar transistors, fed by a custom toroidal transformer and linear power supply, with a motorized ALPS volume pot and all-aluminium casework whose extruded front panel controls resonance and stray electromagnetic interference. No Class D shortcuts, no digital preamp tricks — just generously engineered analogue amplification with genuine current drive. Reviewers keep discovering the same thing: this "modest" integrated grips demanding loudspeakers far above its pay grade, with one lab test even partnering it happily with speakers twenty times its price. The signature sound is classic Exposure — warm, full-bodied bass with real slam, a neutral, detailed midband, and a smooth, fatigue-free treble that makes long listening sessions dangerously easy.

Configure It Your Way

Six line-level RCA inputs handle a full source rack, with one configurable as a fixed-gain AV bypass for home-cinema integration. A single internal module slot takes your pick of an MM phono board, an MC phono board, or a USB DAC board with DSD support — so vinyl lovers and streamers alike pay only for what they need. Reviewers rate the optional phono stages as genuinely good, not token add-ons. A tape loop, two preamp outputs (bi-amping or subwoofer ready), bi-wire-friendly dual speaker terminals, and — a first for an Exposure integrated — a front-panel headphone jack complete a connection set that quietly covers almost every real-world system. Fit the MM board, add the Exposure 360 turntable, and you have a matched British vinyl system straight out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the Exposure 2510, 3510, and 5510 integrated amplifiers?

The 2510 (75 W) is the accessible entry point; the 3510 (110 W) is the range's heart, adding power, the module slot, and monoblock-derived circuitry; the flagship 5510 (120 W) adds a stepped-resistor volume control, OLED display, and DC-coupled output stage. The 3510 is widely considered the sweet spot of value in the range.

Does the Exposure 3510 have a built-in phono stage or DAC?

Not as standard — by design. A single internal slot accepts an optional MM phono, MC phono, or USB DAC (DSD-capable) board, ideally dealer-fitted. You choose the functionality your system actually needs, and the analogue signal path stays pure if you need none of them.

Does the 3510 have a headphone output?

Yes — a front-panel ¼" jack, the first ever fitted to an Exposure integrated, and reviewers rate it a genuinely good headphone amplifier rather than an afterthought. (Note: the flagship 5510 omits one, so headphone listeners may actually prefer the 3510.)

What speakers pair well with the Exposure 3510?

Almost anything — its current delivery and warm-but-detailed balance suit revealing stand-mounts like the Guru range beautifully, and it has the grip for full-size floorstanders. Reviewers have successfully driven speakers many times its price.
