  • Available in 120V and 240V mains versions
  • Rugged U-channel chassis design
  • DC offset target <10mV at speaker terminals
  • High-frequency stability coils near speaker terminals
  • Transformer mounted with vibration-damping rubber pads
  • Thermal interface on rectifier mounting for optimal heat dissipation

SM-70 Pro

MOSFET Power Amplifier

The SM-70 Pro represents the pinnacle of Monarchy Audio's zero-feedback amplifier design. Built around matched pairs of N-channel 2SK2221 and P-channel 2SJ352 MOSFETs, it delivers 80 watts per channel of pure, uncolored power with exceptional imaging and a vast, three-dimensional soundstage.

Key Features

  • Zero negative feedback design for natural, uncolored sound
  • Parallel MOSFET output stage ??2SK2221 & 2SJ352
  • 80W per channel into 8 ohms
  • Both balanced XLR and single-ended RCA inputs
  • Five operating modes: Stereo, Bi-Amp, RCA Mono, XLR Mono, Multi-Unit Bi-Amp
  • Signal-to-noise ratio up to 100dB
  • Fuse-protected voltage rails on both positive and negative supplies
  • Handcrafted in San Francisco, USA

Operating Modes

  1. Stereo: RCA input drives both channels A and B
  2. Bi-Amp: One unit dedicated to a single speaker with bi-wiring
  3. Mono Bridged (RCA): RCA input, switch set to mono for bridged output
  4. Mono Bridged (XLR): Balanced XLR input with true balanced bridged output
  5. Multi-Unit Bi-Amp (XLR): Up to 4 units cascaded via XLR wiring

SE-100 MK2

MOSFET Power Amplifier — 100W/Ch

The SE-100 MK2 delivers 100 watts per channel from its high-voltage 100V rail design. Featuring a sophisticated daughter board output stage with 2N5550 transistors and relay circuit, it offers authoritative power delivery with finesse.

Key Features

  • 100W per channel into 8 ohms
  • 100V internal rail voltage for high headroom
  • MOSFET output stage on removable daughter board
  • 2N5550 transistor-based relay circuit
  • Bias adjustable to 1.6V between test points (~1.55V after warm-up)
  • Large filter capacitor bank (4 big caps)
  • Front panel: 27.7cm wide ? 10cm tall
  • XLR socket, heavy-duty speaker terminals, AC socket, fuse holder

Important: The SE-100 MK2 has no output protection circuit. Speaker outputs must never be shorted ??doing so will destroy all internal devices.

SE-160

MOSFET Power Amplifier — 160W/Ch

The SE-160 brings 160 watts per channel of MOSFET muscle. Part of the SE series, it bridges the gap between the refined SE-100 and the formidable SE-250, offering substantial power reserves for demanding speakers and larger listening spaces.

Key Features

  • 160W per channel into 8 ohms
  • MOSFET output stage for warm, tube-like tonality
  • Part of the acclaimed SE amplifier series
  • Robust power supply for dynamic headroom
  • Designed for medium to large listening rooms

SE-250

MOSFET Power Amplifier — 250W/Ch

The SE-250 is the most powerful amplifier in the Monarchy Audio lineup, delivering a commanding 250 watts per channel. Designed for the most demanding speaker loads and largest listening environments, the SE-250 combines brute power with the musical refinement that defines the SE series.

Key Features

  • 250W per channel into 8 ohms — Monarchy's highest power amplifier
  • MOSFET output stage for refined, musical power delivery
  • Massive power supply for uncompromised dynamic range
  • Engineered for large rooms and demanding speaker loads
  • Flagship of the SE amplifier series
