Mark Levinson No. 536

Mark Levinson No. 536 - The power amplifier for any high-end system

A Mark Levinson No. 536 mono block power amplifier is developed based on the design of the legendary No. 33 and ML-2 amplifiers. The technical design and components have been improved, but the classic ML sound has been retained and refined. The amplifier runs with a very high bias current and thus in Class A mode under most listening conditions. It is only when you really push them that it switches to Class A/B.

No. The 536 is a Mono power amplifier that delivers 1 x 400W into 8 ohms, and it doubles the output all the way down to 2 ohms, where it delivers a whopping 1600 watts. No. The 536 is the perfect partner for any high-end loudspeaker.

Since 1972, Mark Levinson has been dedicated to a quest for the musical above all else. To achieve this goal, Mark Levinson engineers scoured the company's archives and ultimately developed a circuit design philosophy called Pure Path. In short, it's a discrete, direct-coupled, fully balanced, dual mono signal path that delivers unlimited dynamics with minimal noise. And it can be heard to that extent on No. 536.
