ROTEL MICHI X5 S2

Michi X5 S2 Integrated Amplifier The Michi X5 Series 2 integrated amplifier offers uncompromising audio performance, housed in a sleek, modern design.

Rotel Michi X5 Series 2 delivers a power of 2x350 Watts in Class AB into 8 ohms, always maintaining precision and detail, whatever the input used, analog, XLR, digital, USB, Bluetooth apt-X or Phono MM .

Digital audio is reproduced using an ESS SABER ES9028PRO 8-channel precision DAC, configured to dedicate 4 channels to each of the left and right stereo channels, reducing background noise and distortion for the benefit of an aural imaging wide and extensive.

The elegant design of Michi X5 Series 2 adapts seamlessly to any environment and the music sources that can be connected are many, both in analog RCA, balanced XLR, MM phono input, aptXTM HD bluetooth, coaxial and optical. PC-USB input supports PCM (32-bit 384kHz) and Quad DSD (11.2MHz) files with full MQA hardware decoding up to 24-bit 384kHz.

Michi X5 Series 2 is built for music lovers and audiophiles: every aspect of its design, from engineering to construction has been meticulously refined to deliver outstanding performance.

It is powered by two oversized toroidal transformers of its own production, shielded and low noise, which feed a bank of 4 high-efficiency 22,000uF capacitors aligned in parallel.

The power supply stages dedicated to the various circuits isolate the driving currents of the analog and digital circuits, further reducing electrical noise and interference for the benefit of mid/high frequency clarity.

Operation and configuration of the X5 Series 2 is simple thanks to the infrared remote control, front panel controls and large graphic display, with the ability to customize the output display.

Rotel-designed dual platinum-plated speaker binding posts allow speakers to be bi-wired.

A 6.35mm headphone jack is available directly on the front panel for private listening.

Finally, the RS232 and Ethernet connections ensure full compatibility with automation and control systems.
