The REF500S is the 250W stereo power amplifier from Bel Canto’s e.One series.
The REF500S is the stereo power amplifier from Bel Canto. Perfect with the Bel Canto DAC 2.7. Small and compact. On demonstration.
The Bel Canto e.One series was originally inspired by new technology which enabled exceptionally high performance from a compact chassis by using advanced switching power supplies and amplifier technologies. The compact size imposes a focused design aesthetic where the chassis is stripped down to its essentials to achieve ultimate performance and functional goals. The compact, strong, rigid chassis also brought about benefits in mechanical performance, reducing the resonant profile of the chassis without resorting to expensive and massive construction.
The REF500S stereo amplifier has incredible power per square inch with two independent mono boards in a single chassis. Independent power supplies and isolated input signal filter technology reduces high power amplifier energy for a cleaner, transparent power. From an elegant, cool-running compact chassis, each channel provides 500W into 4 ohms and 250W into 8 ohms.
