Technics SU-G700M2 Grand Class Stereo Integrated Amplifier - Black

Three-section configuration for clear, distortion-free sound

The SU-G700M2 integrated amplifier is crafted for superior sound quality. Using a unique three-section design with dedicated partitions between different circuit blocks, it reduces interference and distortion. This configuration ensures separation between dedicated input signals and high-power output currents, resulting in consistently clear and rich audio.

Experience true-to-life sound with LAPC (Load Adaptive Phase Calibration)

Each speaker responds differently to different frequencies, but the SU-G700M2's innovative design ensures clear and consistent audio. Unlike conventional amplifiers, which are affected by speaker impedance and lose audio fidelity, this model uses an advanced adaptive tuning algorithm. It automatically adjusts to the unique characteristics of each amplifier, balancing frequency, amplitude, and phase for smoother, more precise sound. The result? A rich, immersive listening experience with detailed, spatial audio that fills the room.

Crystal-clear audio with advanced JENO Engine digital amplification

To reproduce every detail of your music without compromise, the SU-G700M2 uses the cutting-edge JENO Engine for fully digital amplification, inspired by high-end reference systems. Unlike conventional digital amplifiers, this model solves common audio quality problems caused by jitter (timing errors) with a proprietary jitter reduction circuit, ensuring pure sound across the entire frequency range. Furthermore, a specially designed high-precision PWM conversion circuit optimizes every detail, preserving the dynamic range of high-resolution audio for lifelike clarity. Thanks to these technologies, you'll enjoy natural, finely detailed sound that captures even the subtlest nuances of your music.

Powerful, Pure Sound with High-Speed Switching Power Supply Technology

The SU-G700M2's upgraded power supply, inspired by our reference SU-R1000, delivers more powerful amplifier drive and richer sound. With a higher switching frequency of 400 kHz and advanced GaN FET and SiC SBD components, it reduces noise and stabilizes power for clearer audio. The ultra-low noise regulator minimizes interference, ensuring a clean, high-response power supply that maximizes digital amplifier performance. Enjoy fuller, more dynamic sound with exceptional clarity.

Improved analog sound with customizable MC PHONO input

The SU-G700M2 now supports MC PHONO input, providing an ultra-low-noise connection for your turntable thanks to advanced low-noise FET technology. With four levels of gain adjustment, you can easily set the ideal gain for your cartridge, ensuring optimal reproduction of high-quality analog records. Enjoy rich, authentic sound, perfectly matched to your setup.

Immersive headphone experience with Class AA amplification

The SU-G700M2 features a Class AA headphone amplifier, with separate circuits for voltage and current amplification, to deliver pristine audio. Thanks to the use of high-quality operational amplifiers and the precise analog conversion of the JENO Engine, the system is able to drive headphones with precision and power. This configuration minimizes distortion and delivers a wide frequency range, for clear and detailed sound regardless of headphone impedance. Experience music like never before.
