The L-509X integrates the features of both a high quality separate amplifier and a high performance integrated amplifier into one product. The goal of creating an ideal integrated amplifier, initiated by LUXMAN with the launch of the L-509fSE in 2002, has now been advanced with the development of the L-509X. The L-509X integrated amplifier is equipped with many desirable features, such as the New LECUA1000 and a discretely configured buffer circuit in the output stage of the pre-amplifier circuit. LUXMAN’s ODNF (Only Distortion Negative Feedback) original amplifier feedback circuit and a power supply with independent left and right channel blocking capacitors are intrinsic to this design, as well as many components used only in high end models, ensuring high-quality audio reproduction. The design of the L-509X incorporates the cream of LUXMAN's proprietary technologies, breaking new ground and creating the ultimate expression of “separates in a single unit”.ODNF* Version 4.0 - innovative amplification feedback circuitAn integral part of the design of the L-509X is LUXMAN's original ODNF* amplification feedback circuit, featuring a high-speed primary slew rate, an ultra-wide bandwidth and a low level of distortion that is achieved by feeding back only the distorted components of the audio signal from the output of the amplification circuit. The L-509X is equipped with the latest Version 4.0 ODNF providing a dramatic enhancement of accuracy in distortion detection due to the triple-paralleled first stage error detection circuit. Lower impedance and a higher signal to noise ratio have been achieved due to the paralleled first stage and Darlington equipped second stage amplification circuit. A 3-stage Darlington circuit and a 4-parallel push-pull structure is used for the output stage, similar to the M-700u power amplifier. This achieves output at 120W+120W(8Ω) and 220W+220W(4Ω), enabling the L-509X to drive speakers powerfully with rich dynamics and full expression. *ODNF stands for “Only Distortion Negative Feedback”.Chassis structure exemplifies excellence in function and designThe L-509X features a top panel with a beautiful hair-line finish and widened venting to improve heat dissipation. The loop-less chassis structure restricts any increase in ground impedance. Analog level meters, illuminated with white LEDs, add to the elegant and stylish appearance. New LECUA*1000 computerized attenuatorLUXMAN's New LECUA1000 is at the heart of the preamp section and the volume adjustment control of the L-509X. This computerized attenuator is integrated with the amplification circuit, a feature integral to the high-end LUXMAN C-900u control amplifier. LECUA provides an ideal level control system which allows smooth and fine adjustment of the volume over 88 steps, thereby minimising the deterioration of audio quality at any point of the volume adjustment range. An advancement of the New LECUA1000 is the 3D design layout. The attenuator circuit board is directly connected to the amplification circuit board. Signal routing has been minimized andefficiency has been successfully enhanced. In addition, this design is extremely resistant to external vibration and eliminates changes in audio quality over the volume control range. The robust nature of this system ensures longevity and durability. *LECUA stands for “Luxman Electronically Controlled Ultimate Attenuator” Spec Rated output    120W + 120W (8Ω), 220W + 220W (4Ω) Input sensitivity/input impedance    PHONO (MM): 2.5mV/47kΩ PHONO (MC): 0.3mV/100Ω LINE: 180mV/47kΩ BAL.LINE: 180mV/55kΩ MAIN-IN: 1.1V/47kΩ Output voltage    REC OUT: 180mV, PRE-OUT: 1V Frequency response    PHONO: 20Hz to 20kHz (±0.5dB) LINE: 20Hz to 100kHz (within -3dB) Total harmonic distortion    0.007% or less (8Ω, 1kHz) 0.06% or less (8Ω, 20Hz to 20kHz) S/N ratio (IHF-A)    PHONO (MM): 91dB or more PHONO (MC): 75dB or more LINE: 105dB or more Volume adjustment    New LECUA1000 Amplification circuit    ODNF 4.0 Output configuration    Bipolar 4-parallel push-pull Damping factor    370 Max. amount of tone control    BASS: ±8dB at 100Hz TREBLE: ±8dB at 10kHz Power supply    230V~(50Hz) /115V~(60Hz) Power consumption    380W 150W (under no signal), 0.5W (at standby) External dimensions    440(W) x 193(H) x 463(D) mm front side knob of 20mm and rear side terminal of 37mm included in depth Net weight    29.3kg (main unit) Accessories    Remote control (RA-17A) Power cable Speaker terminal Supported Y-lug terminal dimension    Width of part a: 16mm or less Width of part b: 7mm or more * Connection may not be performed depending on the shape of the Y-lug terminal.
