This second generation amplifier builds on the heritage of our Award winning D•100 and D•200 models.
Over 2 years of development have gone into the MKII Amplifier Project to produce the best Class D audio amplifiers available. The completely redesigned MKII uses the power supply circuitry, chassis, and feature set of our flagship D•500 MKII, powering a "state of the art" UcD Class D amplifier circuit.
Our SmoothStart™ and XDC•2 circuits control AC power, while our DC board supplies the various output voltages required by the audio circuit. Signal input is handled by panel-mounted jacks for both single-ended RCA and balanced XLR connections. Turn-on is accomplished by the front-panel mute/play button, or remote 12v trigger (when used with PLC•1 MKII or other makes with this function). The monaural design is housed in a beautiful new machined aluminum chassis with heavy steel frame plate to support the massive power transformer. Non-magnetic stainless steel hardware and highest quality parts are used throughout. Adjustable 5-way binding posts are used for loudspeaker connection and can be configured for horizontal or vertical cable entry.
The audio circuit consists of an advanced half-bridge UcD design for life-like music reproduction and offers unsurpassed performance, reliability, and efficiency. Our compact & energy efficient package produces over 200 watts into 8 ohms (375 watts into 4 ohms) and will drive most any loudspeaker with authority, musicality, and control.
Due to the large heat-sink area and high efficiency, D•200 MKII remains cool to the touch even at continuous high output levels. Protection from over-voltage and short-circuit conditions are provided.
Many manufacturers have introduced Class D designs but all have had their shortcomings, whether it be sound quality, safety, excessive EMI/RFI, or reliability. Due to new technology and careful design, we are now able to offer a product which realizes the full potential of switching amplifiers.
