188,000 uF capacity – Superior bass reproduction and precise timing

The Michi S5's powerful sonic foundation is underpinned by a massive 188,000µF of capacitance, delivered by four British-patented bulk storage capacitors. This impressive capacity ensures that even the deepest bass tones are conveyed with a firmness and control rarely seen in even the most high-end amplifiers. The vast energy available in the capacitor bank ensures that every musical transient is delivered with absolute precision and timing, providing overwhelming emotional depth and presence in the music.

32 high-current transistors – Control under any load

The S5 is equipped with a whopping 32 high-current transistors, ensuring supreme control over even the most demanding speakers. The transistors deliver incredibly precise sound reproduction, so that every musical moment is conveyed with exceptional clarity and detail. This combination of high-current transistors and oversized transformers ensures that the music remains dynamic, engaging and completely under control even under extreme loads. You will experience a sound reproduction that is vibrant and full of emotion, whether you are listening to classical, jazz or rock.

Tailored audio technology – Advanced component selection for unmatched precision

The Michi S5 is the result of years of research and sound optimization, with every component carefully selected to deliver a sound that is both precise and emotional. The two custom-made toroidal transformers provide a stable and clean power supply, while the British-made slit-foil capacitors ensure that every note is delivered with maximum energy efficiency and fast response. With integrated circuitry from leading manufacturers such as Analog Devices and Texas Instruments, you can expect audio reproduction with exceptional clarity, detail and a wide soundstage that captures all the nuances of the music.

Quiet and efficient cooling – Optimal temperature control for continuous performance

Even with the S5's impressive power, it remains silent thanks to its advanced cooling system. Two ultra-quiet 90mm fans kick in when the transistors reach 39°C, keeping the amplifier cool during the most intense music sessions. Without disturbing the listening experience. This sophisticated cooling technology ensures that the S5 always delivers optimal performance, even at high volumes and demanding passages.

Exclusive and minimalist design – Function meets elegance

The Michi S5 combines a minimalist design with an industrially refined aesthetic. The front panel is adorned with a discreet OLED display that can function as both a spectrum analyzer and VU meter, giving a sophisticated visual impression. The exclusive design is completed by rhodium-plated speaker terminals that ensure a strong and stable connection, while the beautifully machined matte black aluminum cabinet is an elegant addition to any high-end audio system.
