Magnat MA 900

Magnat MA 900: the perfect blend of power and finesse

The Magnat MA 900 hybrid stereo amplifier is designed to deliver an exceptional listening experience. With its unique combination of tubes and transistors, this amplifier marries the warmth and smoothness of tubes with the power and clarity of transistors. If you’re looking for a high-quality amplifier capable of faithfully reproducing every nuance of your favorite music, the Magnat MA 900 is made for you.

Hybrid technology: The best of both worlds

One of the most striking features of the Magnat MA 900 hybrid stereo amplifier is its hybrid architecture. Tubes are used for preamplification, preserving warmth and rich musical harmonics. Transistors then take over for power amplification, delivering dynamic response and the ability to drive demanding speakers. This smart combination guarantees a detailed, captivating sound.

High output power

The Magnat MA 900 is a hybrid amplifier that truly combines the best of both worlds: ECC81 tubes in the preamplifier section for added warmth and musicality, and a transistor-based Class A/B power amplifier for outstanding power and dynamics. It delivers a continuous output of 130 W into 8 Ω and 200 W into 4 Ω per channel, enabling it to drive demanding speakers with ease.

Versatile connectivity

The Magnat MA 900 offers comprehensive connectivity to meet all your audio needs. Here are the main options:

• MM/MC phono input: The Magnat MA 900 features a phono input for vinyl enthusiasts, with an additional option for moving-coil cartridges (MC). Texas Instruments operational amplifiers ensure precise equalization and amplification of delicate signals.

• Digital inputs: Two Toslink optical ports and two coaxial S/PDIF inputs let you connect devices such as CD players, game consoles, or streaming bridges. The Magnat MA 900’s digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the Cirrus Logic CS4398, supports PCM signals up to 192 kHz and 24-bit.

• Wireless Bluetooth connection: The Magnat MA 900 is equipped with an integrated Bluetooth 5.0 dongle, offering convenient wireless connectivity with your Bluetooth-compatible devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets. It also supports Qualcomm’s aptX codec for optimal HD audio quality.

Build quality: an amplifier made to last

When it comes to build quality, the Magnat MA 900 makes no compromises. Its brushed aluminum chassis not only provides a sleek, modern look, but also rock-solid durability. Internal components are carefully selected to ensure optimal sonic performance and exceptional longevity. Whether you’re a passionate audiophile or a casual music lover, you can count on the reliability and long-term durability of the Magnat MA 900 hybrid stereo amplifier.
