Unleash the Power of GaN: Introducing the All-New SMSL PA-X Amplifier!

Audiophiles, get ready to experience a new benchmark in clean, efficient power! We're thrilled to announce the arrival of the SMSL PA-X, a state-of-the-art power amplifier built around cutting-edge Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology. If you're seeking pristine sound, versatile power options, and exceptional performance, the PA-X is here to impress.

The Gallium Nitride Revolution in Your Rack

At the heart of the PA-X lies the magic of Infineon's latest Gallium Nitride (GaN) power tubes. Why is this exciting? GaN technology allows for significantly higher switching frequencies (up to 1MHz!) compared to traditional silicon transistors. This translates directly to audible benefits: enhanced clarity across the entire frequency spectrum, faster transient response, improved efficiency, and lower heat generation. The result is sound that's incredibly clean, dynamic, and effortlessly detailed.

Power Meets Versatility: Stereo or Mighty Mono

The SMSL PA-X isn't just about sophisticated tech; it's incredibly flexible. It offers three distinct usage modes to perfectly match your system's needs:

  1. Stereo Balanced (XLR): For the purest signal path, connect your balanced preamp or source via XLR for optimal noise rejection and sound quality.

  2. Stereo Unbalanced (RCA): Easily integrate the PA-X with standard RCA sources.

  3. Pure Amp Mono (XLR): Need serious power? Bridge the PA-X into mono mode using the XLR input! This unleashes a formidable 500W RMS into 8Ω, providing ample headroom to drive even demanding, power-hungry loudspeakers with authority and control.

Pristine Performance You Can Measure (and Hear!)

SMSL is known for delivering exceptional value backed by solid engineering, and the PA-X is no exception. Prepare for sonic purity with:

  • Ultra-Low Distortion: An astonishingly low THD+N of just 0.003% means your music remains uncolored and true to the source.

  • Incredible Signal-to-Noise Ratio: With an SNR and Dynamic Range reaching 115dB, you'll hear more music and less noise, revealing subtle details against an inky black background.

  • Robust Power Output: Delivers a solid 200W x 2 into 4Ω or 85W x 2 into 8Ω in stereo, ensuring dynamic performance for a wide range of speakers.

Built for Listening Pleasure

Beyond the core technology, the PA-X features numerous high-end audio components, a newly developed high-power switching power supply specifically designed for audio, comprehensive overheating and overcurrent protection circuits, and high-quality gold-plated input and output terminals. It's built to perform reliably and deliver long-lasting listening enjoyment.
