Power amplifiers stereo — TAD TAD-M1000TX

The TAD-M1000TX is a powerful stereo power amplifier from TAD, built with substantial input sensitivity flexibility and considerable output power. The TAD-M1000TX brings TAD's considered engineering to dedicated stereo power amplification.

Key specs that matter

Input sensitivity is 1,500mV or 750mV depending on configuration. Input impedance is a substantial 100,000 ohms balanced or 50,000 ohms single-ended. Output power reaches a substantial 500W into 4 ohms. Gain is 29.5dBu. Frequency response spans 10Hz to 50,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is a strong 112dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.05% at 100% global feedback. At 440 x 148 x 479mm and 29kg, the TAD-M1000TX represents a serious stereo power amplifier commitment reflecting TAD's considered engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect substantial dynamic authority reflecting the 500W-into-4-ohms output combined with the strong 112dB signal-to-noise figure, consistent with TAD's broader accomplished engineering philosophy.

Pairing

The substantial 500W into 4 ohms output handles demanding loudspeaker loads with considerable headroom.

Alternatives

TAD's own TAD-M700 offers a considerably more powerful alternative within the same broader power amplifier catalogue.
