Description

The highest sound quality at all volume levels, flat frequency response into any load, and stable into the most difficult loads. The Statement M1 is a state-of-the-art monaural amplifier delivering 1,000 watts into 8 ohms and 2,000 watts into 4 ohms or less with THD remaining under 0.1% from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Designed and engineered in our advanced research center in Ottawa, Canada, the M1 is manufactured in our Toronto facility.

More than just a slim, technologically advanced monaural design, the M1 demonstrates that Class D architecture isn’t fundamentally flawed, it simply hasn’t been implemented well in the past, mainly because it required such a heavy commitment to R&D. We’re fortunate to have the in-house resources to create such a groundbreaking product and one listen will reveal the truly extraordinary nature of this amplifier.

Key Features

– Compact design occupies only 1 rack space
– Proprietary load monitoring system can handle all loads and  deliver highest output possible for each operating condition
– Power Factor Correction maximises available power whilst reducing AC line noise, enabling continuous power throughout the AC
– Bridged mode amplification with lower voltage MOSFET’s that can handle peak current of 260 amperes
– Hand-crafted 4-layer FR4-rated glass-epoxy circuit board with 2-ounce copper traces promotes exceptional conductivity
– Auto Power On/Off mode

M1 Specifications

8 Ω    1000 W
4 Ω    2000 W
3 Ω    2400 W
2 Ω    >2000 W depending on line voltage regulation
With 120V AC supply the amplifier’s maximum output into impedances 4 Ω and lower, as well as its maximum duration, vary depending on line voltage regulation.

8 Ω    +/- 0.1 dB
4 Ω    +/- 0.1 dB
2 Ω    +/- 0.2 dB

Power Bandwidth 1000 W at 8 Ω    5 Hz to 45 kHz

THD+N at 1 kHz, 8 Ω
1 W    0.01 %
10 W    0.01 %
100 W    <0.03 %
1000 W    <0.06 %

IMD 19 kHz + 20 kHz, CCIF    0.003%
S/N Ratio ref. 1000 W, IEC-A    113 dB

standby mode, 120V mains    <1 W
standby mode, 240V mains    <2 W
operate mode, idle    33 W
typical operation    300 W
Where mains voltage is 120V, one dedicated 15A circuit per amplifier is recommended depending on speaker. A 20A circuit is adequate for two amplifiers playing music where speaker impedance is 8 Ω. This product operates from a single phase AC power source that supplies between 108V and 264V at a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz.
