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. \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. At 31 kg per unit it's a statement of intent, engineered so the amplifier itself gets out of the way and lets the music through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love the Soulnote M-3\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue monoblock\u003c\/strong\u003e — one amplifier per channel for maximum separation (sold each)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e160 W into 4 ohms\u003c\/strong\u003e — completely non-NFB power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustrial can-type output transistors\u003c\/strong\u003e — single push-pull, four-stage Darlington\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1600 VA toroidal transformer\u003c\/strong\u003e — ultra-low-loss, with SiC diodes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCopper bus-bar heat sinks\u003c\/strong\u003e — isolated from the chassis for lower noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSix-spike isolation\u003c\/strong\u003e — direct mechanical grounding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-built in Japan\u003c\/strong\u003e — Premium Silver or Premium Black, 31 kg each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the M-3 sold as a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — each M-3 is a single monaural amplifier, sold individually.
