BAT REX 500 Solid-State Power Amplifier

Description

From its extraordinary power delivery to the peace of mind provided by the elimination of fuses, REX 500 stands as the pinnacle of BAT solid-state design. Add to that the simplicity of a circuit that features only two gain blocks, zero feedback, and the pure symmetry afforded by using only superior N-Channel devices for amplification, and you can understand why this statement product is unique. BAT provides a transparent upgrade path that allows the owner of a stereo REX 500 to easily convert it to a monoblock at any point. With REX 500, the user can change their existing REX 500 to a monoblock and then order a second REX 500 to match. The added current delivery makes the sound of the REX 500 monoblocks effortless – and more akin to that of a master tape.
