The SI-300.2D is an integrated amplifier with built-in DAC from Cary Audio, built with substantial output power. The SI-300.2D brings Cary's considered engineering to a complete integrated chassis.
Key specs that matter
Two balanced XLR inputs and three single-ended inputs are provided. Input impedance is 20,000 ohms balanced or 10,000 ohms single-ended. Output power is a substantial 2 x 300W into 8 ohms, rising to 2 x 450W into 4 ohms - serious figures for an integrated amplifier. Frequency response spans 10Hz to 50,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 100dB. At 152 x 438 x 457mm and 23.6kg, the SI-300.2D represents a substantial integrated amplifier commitment reflecting Cary's considered American engineering standards.
Sound and use context
Expect substantial dynamic authority reflecting the 450W-into-4-ohms output, consistent with Cary's broader accomplished American engineering philosophy.
Pairing
The substantial 450W into 4 ohms output handles demanding loudspeaker loads with considerable headroom.
Alternatives
Cary's own CAD-120S MKII offers a related tube power amplifier alternative within the same broader catalogue for buyers building a separates system.
