Since the release of the P-1 in 2002, LUXMAN’s headphone amplifiers have continuously evolved with the benefit of ODNF. Our P-750uMKII features the latest, most advanced version of ODNF. The P-100 CENTENNIAL, created to commemorate our company’s 100th anniversary, is the first headphone amplifier to incorporate the LIFES amplification feedback engine, an evolution of ODNF. LIFES, our groundbreaking technology designed for a new century, completely reimagines circuit design and components, while retaining the core concept of feeding back and eliminating only the distorted components detected at the output, a hallmark of ODNF, to produce a clearer and more vibrant tone. We’ve carefully selected high-quality, robust components, including a newly adopted, high-performance FET used in the voltage amplification stage. Compared to ODNF, distortion at the output is reduced by more than half and the signal-to-noise ratio is improved by over 3dB. The result is an amplifier that is quieter than ever, with every element of an audio recording more precisely defined, bringing the dynamism of our listener’s favourite\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFully balanced headphone outputs,\u003cbr\u003efour discrete power amplifiers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe P-100 CENTENNIAL is a high-performance headphone amplifier featuring fully balanced architecture, enabled by uniting four independent amplifier blocks, enhanced by our advanced LIFES amplifier feedback engine. These identical amplifier modules have been meticulously designed using discrete components for optimal audio fidelity. Balanced output: Using a BTL (bridge-tied load) configuration, the balanced output combines the positive and negative signal outputs from four independent amplifier blocks. This setup enhances channel separation, positional accuracy, reduces intermodulation distortion and improves power regulation. Unbalanced output: The unbalanced output employs a parallel drive system, combining two amplifier circuits per channel to double the output current, ensuring ample driving power. When using the balanced output terminal (φ4.4mm or 4-pin XLR), a switch allows for parallel unbalanced operation with independent left and right grounds. For the ultimate headphone listening experience, connection to two P-100 CENTENNIAL units via their 3-pin XLR outputs offers parallel BTL balanced drive. This mode employs all eight available amplifier blocks, doubling the current output per channel, yielding unmatched, exquisite performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVarious settings and adjustment functions\u003cbr\u003eeliminate sound quality degradation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy applying LECUA processing, the unit offers three levels (0, -6, -12dB) of sensitivity switching, LR balance adjustment (0.5dB steps, LR 0 to -12dB) and output mute functions that match the impedance and efficiency of the headphones used without degrading the sound quality. In addition, the unit is equipped with a volume limit function (6 levels: OFF, -10, -20, -30, -40, -50dB) that sets an upper limit on the volume and protects the listeners’ ears from excessive sound pressure levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e“New computerized attenuator” LECUA-EX\u003cbr\u003eHigh definition volume control system with tactile response\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor over 20 years, LUXMAN has been perfecting LECUA, an advanced electronically controlled attenuator, which addresses issues such as L\/R level imbalances at low volumes and changes in sound quality due to volume control position, issues especially noticeable when listening with headphones, where the sound source is close to the ear. The P-100 CENTENNIAL features our LECUA-EX system, which uses a solid-state (IC) design to streamline the circuitry and incorporates a high precision rotary encoder with a weighted rotation mechanism for precise position detection. Additionally, by updating the core IC, it offers a range of 200 steps in 0.5dB increments, allowing for even finer micro-adjustments. The LECUA-EX system integrates all volume-related functions, including three-stage sensitivity switching based on the impedance and efficiency of the listener’s headphones, left-right balance adjustment and a six-stage volume limiter to protect both your ears and your headphones from unexpected volume spikes. A large 3-digit, 7-segment LED display clearly shows the volume level, making it easier to maintain consistent volume settings during precise listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row contents_area\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-12\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-left\"\u003eSpec\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row contents_area\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"md_area\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"md_area\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec table\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"3\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRated output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnbalanced:4W + 4W (8Ω), 2W + 2W (16Ω), 1W + 1W (32Ω), 53mW + 53mW (600Ω)\u003cbr\u003eBalanced:8W + 8W (16Ω), 4W + 4W (32Ω) ,213W + 213W (600Ω)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInstantaneous max. output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnbalanced:5W + 5W (8Ω)\u003cbr\u003eBalanced:20W + 20W (8Ω)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInput sensitivity\/\u003cbr\u003einput impedance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnbalanced:1.0V \/ 14kΩ\u003cbr\u003eBalanced:2.0V \/ 28kΩ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20Hz to 20kHz (+0, -0.1dB)\u003cbr\u003e10Hz to 175kHz (+0, -3.0dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTotal harmonic distortion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnbalanced:0.0025% (1kHz)\u003cbr\u003eBalanced:0.0015% (1kHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec table\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"3\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eS\/N ratio (IHF-A)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnbalanced:117dB\u003cbr\u003eBalanced:119dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower transformer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOI type x 2 (L\/R independent) + EI type (Peripheral circuitry)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInsulator feet\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast iron density gradient x 4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower supply\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V~(50Hz) \/ 115V~(60Hz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower consumption\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e67W, 47W (under no signal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eExternal dimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e446(W) x 136(H) x 401(D) mm\u003cbr\u003efront side knob of 14mm and rear side terminal\u003cbr\u003eof 8mm included in depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNet weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.7kg (main unit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAccessories\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"small\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Luxman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215582638466,"sku":null,"price":9000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/6652\/0962\/files\/Luxman-P100-audio-venue.jpg?v=1768427669","url":"https:\/\/premiumhomeaudio.co.uk\/products\/luxman-p-100-headphone-amplifier","provider":"Premium Home Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
