Ivor Drawmer and his handpicked team of engineers announce the new Drawmer MPA-90 two-channel class D power amplifier.
Its small dual monoblock design, with tabletop or rack mountable footprint, houses guts capable of delivering 90 watts per channel (into 4 ohms) or 180 watts bridged – all with no annoying fan.
Like Drawmer’s MC2.1 monitor controller, the new MPA-90 treats audio signals with integrity: its output is transparent, revealing the beauty (and the faults!) of whatever is run through it. Also, like all Drawmer’s products, the MPA-90 is built in England to last a lifetime, priced at $695.
“The new Drawmer MPA-90 is the perfect partner to small passive loudspeakers like the Auratone 5Cs or other small passives” says Brad Lunde, founder and president of TransAudio Group, Drawmer’s longtime US distributor. “Many Class D amps out there are just raw Class D modules, but the MPA-90 has a Drawmer designed and built custom front end to improve its sound. The MPA-90 sounds excellent and with the bridging feature, provides a future upgrade path. The MPA-90 is really the perfect complement to the Drawmer MC1.1 or MC2.1 preamplifiers in matching housing, but it works great with any preamp.”
Switching the Drawmer MPA-90 from stereo to mono bridged is easily accomplished with the flick of a switch and use of the mono loudspeaker jack. Its inputs are either balanced XLR or unbalanced phono to cover the two universes of gear, pro versus semi-pro/consumer that may feed it.
It features thermal, overload, and power-up/power-down protection and front-panel standby, fault, and clip indicator LEDs, all housed in a steel chassis and brushed aluminum cover.
The MPA-90 is now available for shipping.
PRICE: $695.00 MAP
