Digital amplifier technology at its best

After successfully relaunching its hi-fi debut in 2014, Technics spent the next few years perfecting its award-winning digital amplifier technology. The result is the Technics SU-R1000 amplifier – a massively powerful digital amplifier that's also among the most natural and refined-sounding in its class.

Active Distortion Cancelling Technology (ADCT) for the purest sound

ADCT is Technics' latest digital amplifier technology and plays a key role in the SU-R1000's superior sound quality. It actively extracts distortion from the output power and applies correction to the digital output signal, giving your speakers the most natural and lifelike sound possible.

Jitter Elimination and Noise-shaping Optimization (JENO) for smoother audio

JENO uses ADCT to deliver high-resolution digital signals without introducing distortion between the input stage and the speaker output. Technics has developed an original jitter-reducing circuit, which eliminates the sound quality degradation caused by jitter common in conventional digital amplifiers. Lower jitter means a smoother, more harmonious sound—regardless of the music source.

Load Adaptive Phase Calibration (LAPC) for optimized speaker tuning

LAPC is a speaker impedance optimization algorithm that optimizes the performance of your speakers. By using digital signal processing to smooth both the amplitude and phase frequency response, the result is sound with greater focus, spaciousness, and definition.

Reference food quality

With four independent power supplies, the SU-R1000 delivers reference-level audio precision. The digital and analog sections of the preamplifier are powered separately, as are the right and left halves of the power amplifier. This power separation helps improve the signal-to-noise ratio and gives this Technics amplifier exceptional detail and consistency.

Battery Powered Clock Generator of the Technics SU-R1000 – Black – Premium Stereo Amplifier

Technics has historically used battery power for low-noise applications in analogue amplifiers: here the same technology is used to improve the precision of the digital clock, enhancing the definition of the sound.

High-quality adjustable phono stage

If you're adding a turntable to your system, you're in for a treat with the sound and optimization possibilities of this Technics amplifier. The high-quality phono stage uses three stages of digital technology to enhance the sound. A precise EQ curve uses low-pass filter correction to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Crosstalk Canceller uses a calibration record (included with the amplifier) ​​to provide a sharper focus and more expansive sound. Finally, Response Optimizer fine-tunes the impedance matching between the cartridge and amplifier, bringing out the true sound of the cartridge.

All connections of the Technics SU-R1000 – Black – Premium Stereo Amplifier

When it comes to connectivity, the Technics SU-R1000 is one of the best in the business. On the digital side, you'll find dual USB, optical, and coaxial inputs. Analog inputs come in the form of XLR and RCA phono (x3). Likewise, you can connect your turntable via XLR (MC only) or RCA phono (MM/MC). For future upgrades, there are pre-out/power-in RCA jacks, plus a record output. Add to that a high-quality headphone output, and you have everything you need from a high-quality amplifier.

With the Technics SU-R1000, you'll hear exactly what an advanced amplifier can do for your music.
