The P-1000 MkII is a stereo power amplifier from Gold Note, built with a strong signal-to-noise figure and near-immeasurable distortion. The P-1000 MkII brings Gold Note's considered engineering to dedicated stereo power amplification.
Key specs that matter
Input impedance is a substantial 100,000 ohms on both balanced and single-ended connections. Output impedance is 50 ohms on both connections. Gain is 19dBu. Frequency response spans an exceptionally wide 2Hz to 200,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is a strong 110dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under a near-immeasurable 0.001%. At 430 x 135 x 375mm and 11kg, the P-1000 MkII maintains a manageable power amplifier chassis reflecting Gold Note's considered engineering standards.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean amplification reflecting the strong 110dB signal-to-noise figure and near-immeasurable 0.001% distortion figure combined with the exceptionally wide 2Hz-200kHz bandwidth, consistent with Gold Note's broader considered Italian engineering philosophy.
Pairing
Gold Note's own preamplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings within the same broader catalogue.
Alternatives
Gold Note's own PA-1175 MkII offers a related model with a comprehensive damping factor within the same broader power amplifier catalogue.
