OSD Nero XMAX2 High-Current Stereo Amplifier 1000W x2 Class A/B 1800W Bridged Mono

• High-Current Class A/B Design - Fully discrete circuitry with five complementary pairs of high-current output transistors per channel delivers powerful, accurate, low-distortion performance.
• Massive Power Reserves - 600W x 2 into 8 ohms, 1000W x 2 into 4 ohms, or 1800W bridged into 8 ohms — with 22A peak current to command demanding loudspeakers.
• Audiophile Linear Power Supply - A 2000VA toroidal transformer and 200,000µF of custom OSD audio-grade filter capacitance provide effortless dynamics and iron-fisted bass control (damping factor ≥500).
• Balanced & Unbalanced Inputs - Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs with rear-panel selection connect to virtually any preamplifier, AV processor, or DAC.
• Built for System Integration - Selectable 29dB/23dB gain, 12V trigger in/out, and bridged mono mode integrate cleanly into two-channel and custom home theater systems.
• Measured, Not Marketed - 117dB signal-to-noise ratio and just 0.008% THD at 100W for a vanishingly quiet background and refined detail.
• Illuminated Analog-Style Power Meter - Classic illuminated analog-style power meter with front-panel display control adds timeless style while showing real-time output.
• Built Like an Instrument - 12mm brushed anodized aluminum front panel, heavy-duty 5-way binding posts, 65 lb audiophile-grade chassis, and DC, thermal, over-current, and short-circuit protection.
• Universal Auto-Switching Power - Automatically adapts to 110V or 220V AC mains for worldwide operation.

The OSD Nero XMAX2 Stereo Power Amplifier is engineered for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts who demand uncompromising power, exceptional control, and refined musical performance. Featuring a fully discrete, high-current Class A/B design, the XMAX2 delivers effortless dynamics, low distortion, and outstanding detail for both two-channel music systems and high-performance surround installations.

Massive High-Current Power

Delivering 600 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms (1% THD; 550W at 0.1% THD), 1000 watts per channel into 4 ohms, or a staggering 1800 watts bridged into 8 ohms, the XMAX2 provides the headroom to drive demanding speakers with total confidence. Behind those numbers stands a 2000VA toroidal transformer, 200,000µF of custom OSD audio-grade filter capacitance, and ten 15-amp output devices per channel — a power plant capable of 22 amps of peak current and continuous 4-ohm operation. The result is bass with authority, dynamics without strain, and a damping factor of 500 or better that keeps even large woofers under absolute control.

Refined, Quiet, Accurate

Power means nothing without finesse. The XMAX2's DC-coupled front end and fully discrete signal path achieve a 117dB signal-to-noise ratio and distortion as low as 0.008% at 100 watts — measured on Audio Precision instrumentation, not estimated. Frequency response extends from 10Hz to 100kHz, preserving every nuance of high-resolution sources.

Flexible System Integration

Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs make the XMAX2 compatible with virtually any preamplifier, AV receiver, processor, or DAC. Selectable 29dB or 23dB gain lets you match levels precisely in multi-amplifier systems, while the 12V trigger input and output automate power-up with the rest of your rack. Flip the rear-panel switch to bridge mode and a pair of XMAX2s becomes a set of 1800-watt monoblocks for the ultimate reference system.

Classic Styling Meets Modern Performance

A large illuminated analog-style power meter displays real-time output while adding a timeless aesthetic to your rack — dimmable from the front panel for late-night listening. The 12mm brushed anodized aluminum faceplate with gold accents fronts a 65-pound steel chassis, and heavy-duty 5-way binding posts accept banana plugs, spades, pins, or bare wire. Comprehensive DC, thermal, over-current, and short-circuit protection safeguards your investment for the long haul.
