3510 Series

Rated at a hundred watts. Rounded down, apparently.

A pair of monoblocks with one chassis, one transformer and one supply per channel, balanced and unbalanced inputs, and a noise floor better than 110 dB A-weighted. Designed and built in Lancing, West Sussex.

Dual mono

The end of the 3510 tier, and the quietest thing in it.

Exposure has been separating things that interfere with each other since 1977: pre from power, then power supplies into their own boxes from 1981. A pair of monoblocks is the far end of that idea. Two chassis, two transformers, two supplies, and nothing shared between left and right except the mains. Put the 3510 Preamplifier in front and the tier is complete.

Measured Measured 135 W into 8 ohms against a 100 W rating β€” thirty-five percent over the badge, the largest margin in the range. Hi-Fi News lab report, Paul Miller, August 2023.

Noise, Isolation, Load

Buy these for the silence, not the wattage.

110dB signal-to-noise

A-weighted, referenced to rated output. Ten decibels quieter than anything else in the 3510 tier, and the reason to buy these.

2chassis, one per channel

Separate boxes, separate transformers, separate supplies. Left and right share nothing but the mains.

50k-ohm input impedance

An easy load for any preamplifier, with balanced inputs at 875 mV per leg alongside the unbalanced pair.

Why 100 watts when the stereo amplifier is rated at 110?
Because power is not what these are for. Each monoblock is a complete amplifier in its own chassis with its own transformer and supply, so the two channels share nothing but the wall socket. The measurable result is a signal-to-noise ratio better than 110 dB A-weighted, around ten decibels quieter than the stereo amplifier, plus lower distortion and a balanced input. Buy them for the silence.
Balanced or unbalanced input?
Both. Unbalanced takes 1.75 V at 1 kHz into 50 kilohms; balanced takes 875 mV per leg. The balanced input is worth using if the cable run between preamplifier and monoblocks is long, which it often is once the amplifiers move next to the speakers.
Are they sold as a pair?
Yes, the price is for two. You need one per channel. Each is 440 by 115 by 300 mm and 12 kg, so allow shelf space for two full-width boxes, or stand them beside the speakers and run longer interconnects on the balanced inputs.
About the Exposure 3510 Mono Power Amplifiers (Pair)

Monoblock Muscle, 5010 Bloodline: Exposure 3510 Mono Power Amplifiers

Sold as a pair, the Exposure 3510 Mono Power Amplifiers share the circuit design of Exposure's reference 5010 series, delivering a conservatively rated 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms from individual, dedicated chassis. As true monoblocks β€” one amplifier per speaker β€” they bring the separation, control and scale that make a system suddenly sound "bigger." Hi-Fi News rated the 3510 amplification "Outstanding."

Fast, Controlled, DC-Coupled

Oversized, custom-made toroidal power supplies feed a DC-coupled design built for speed and grip: these amplifiers deliver uncompromised power and control of your loudspeakers, producing the signature Exposure sound β€” that unmistakable blend of solidity and drive. An all-aluminium case reduces EMI and RF noise, improves cooling, and contributes to a long, reliable life.

Connect Anything, Bi-Wire Everything

Balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs cover any preamplifier, while bi-wire terminals with high-quality shrouded sockets accept even large cables with ease. Partner them with the 3510 preamplifier for a complete, award-winning pre/power system.

  • DC-coupled and fast β€” uncompromised power and speaker control
  • Balanced & unbalanced inputs β€” XLR and RCA for any preamp
  • Bi-wire terminals β€” high-quality shrouded sockets for large cables
  • All-aluminium case β€” lower EMI/RF, better cooling, longer life

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the 3510 mono amplifiers sold as a pair?

Yes β€” they're supplied as a matched pair of monoblocks, one for each channel, each in its own case with its own power supply.

Do they have balanced (XLR) inputs?

Yes, both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs are provided, so they'll match balanced or single-ended preamplifiers.

How do they differ from the 3510 stereo power amplifier?

The monoblocks separate the two channels into individual chassis and power supplies for greater isolation and control, whereas the stereo power amplifier houses both channels in one box. Both share 5010-series engineering.
