Technics SU-G700M2 Grand Class Stereo Integrated Amplifier

The new Technics model SU-G700M2 is based on the platform of the predecessor model SU-G700, which is popular with hi-fi enthusiasts and has already set standards among amplifiers and has received awards from numerous specialist publications worldwide.

The new SU-G700M2 is a prime example of Technics' tireless research and development efforts to guarantee every hi-fi enthusiast the best possible sound quality, regardless of source, format, or connected speakers. The new SU-G700M2 incorporates many of the advanced technologies from Technics' reference-class flagship SU-R1000 to deliver superior sound quality previously considered unimaginable in this class.

Among the innovative highlights of the new SU-G700M2 are sophisticated and proven digital technologies such as the JENO Engine (Jitter Elimination and Noise-Shaping Optimization), which processes any music signal without distortion and absolutely jitter-free, reproducing it with the utmost precision and maximum signal fidelity. LAPD (Load Adaptive Phase Calibration) technology ensures perfect adaptation of the amplifier to the impedance curve of the connected speakers, thus optimizing the phase response of the playback.

The new SU-G700M2 features further innovations and technologies for the best possible sound quality:

• Advanced Speed Silent Power Supply (AS²PS): Super-fast semiconductors such as GaN (gallium nitride) field-effect transistors and silicon carbide (SiC) diodes ensure that the power supply has an extremely high-pulse current delivery capability to the power output stages.
  This circuit concept, adopted from the flagship SU-R1000 model, ensures overwhelming power and stability even with power-hungry speakers.
• The sound characteristics and power output have been meticulously redesigned to ensure extremely clean, crystal-clear reproduction with absolutely minimal distortion. Careful fine-tuning of the spatial imaging has significantly improved the precise localization and placement of voices and instruments in the listening room.
• For vinyl lovers, the SU-G700M2 already has a particularly high-quality phono preamplifier on board, which allows the direct connection of turntables with MM systems as well as with audiophile MC cartridges.
• An additional phase switch for the phono input enables the “correct” playback of older records, which were often recorded and pressed with an inverted phase.
• All volume and source selection knobs are made of solid aluminum and now feature the non-slip textured surface familiar from the SU-R1000 reference amplifier, visually differentiating the new SU-G700M2 from its predecessor.
