Precision-paired output transistors, matched using a newly developed method, deliver \"blur-free parallel push-pull\" performance. An ultra-low-loss 1600 VA non-epoxy toroidal transformer is mounted vertically on titanium washers, and the amplifier does one thing only: a single XLR input and speaker terminals, with no selectors or microcontrollers to get in the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love the Soulnote M-3X\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubled current delivery vs the M-3\u003c\/strong\u003e — 240 W into 2.7 ohms of iron grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue monoblock\u003c\/strong\u003e — one amplifier per channel (sold each)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimalist non-NFB Type-R\u003c\/strong\u003e — just 4 transistors and 10 resistors in voltage amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision-paired push-pull\u003c\/strong\u003e — newly developed matching for blur-free output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1600 VA toroidal on titanium\u003c\/strong\u003e — ultra-low-loss, vertically mounted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-function purity\u003c\/strong\u003e — one XLR input, speaker terminals, nothing else\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-3X sold as a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — each M-3X is a single monaural amplifier sold individually.
