The Brooklyn AMP+ is a stereo power amplifier from Mytek, an American manufacturer known for combining advanced digital and analogue engineering within remarkably compact chassis designs. Part of Mytek's well-regarded Brooklyn line, the AMP+ represents an updated, enhanced edition of the brand's original Brooklyn amplifier offering.
Key specs that matter
Output power is a substantial 2 x 300W into 8 ohms, actually decreasing slightly to 2 x 250W into 4 ohms - a somewhat unusual pattern compared with the typical power doubling most amplifiers exhibit into lower impedance, worth confirming directly with Mytek if a specific loudspeaker's impedance curve dips meaningfully below 8 ohms. Frequency response spans 10Hz to 30,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds an exceptional 121dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under an extraordinarily low 0.001% with full global feedback, and damping factor exceeding 400 - a high figure indicating excellent control over connected loudspeaker driver movement. At just 216 x 225 x 44mm and a mere 3kg, the Brooklyn AMP+ is astonishingly compact and light for its substantial 300W-per-channel output capability, reflecting advanced Class D amplifier engineering.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean, well-controlled sound from a tiny footprint - the combination of over 121dB signal-to-noise, sub-0.001% distortion and a damping factor exceeding 400 places the Brooklyn AMP+ among the cleanest-measuring amplifiers available regardless of size or price, a genuine testament to how far compact Class D engineering has advanced.
Pairing
The exceptionally high damping factor and low distortion figures suit demanding, revealing loudspeakers directly, and the remarkably compact 3kg chassis makes the Brooklyn AMP+ practical for placement in spaces where a conventional full-size amplifier simply would not fit.
Alternatives
Mytek's original Brooklyn amplifier and broader digital-audio catalogue, including matching DACs and preamplifiers sharing the same compact-chassis philosophy, offer natural companion components for buyers building a space-efficient yet high-performance system. Mytek's continued refinement of the Brooklyn platform across successive editions reflects the brand's broader commitment to iterative, considered improvement rather than frequent wholesale redesigns, a philosophy shared throughout the company's compact yet capable product range.
