Mytek Audio will feature the new Empire Stereo Monoblock GanFET Amplifiers. Designed to complement the flagship Empire Streamer DAC the Monoblocks are housed in a beautifully sculpted half rack wide, 2U tall chassis milled from a single block of aluminum and can be setup as a stereo single amp or dual mono blocks.

The cutting edge Class D GanFET technology uses Gallium Nitrade transistors that are up to 30 times fast than silicon MosFETs traditionally used in current Class D designs, where their slow speed is the main factor limiting the low resolution detail. GanFET transistors bring this detail back out resulting in a substantially larger soundstage, and warm, tube like velvety top and midrange, while also providing tight grip of the bass response and transients. “Mytek Tube” is used as a visual effect to reflect the amp sonic qualities and has no electronic function. Each amp is shipped with an additional aluminum cover without the tube for the customers preferring a more minimal design.

The Stereo Monoblocks can operate as stereo 2x400W/4Ω or 2x200W/8Ω, or in mono biamp mode, and in mono bridge mode at 800W/4Ω or 400W/8Ω.

The amplifiers use a large 800W toroidal power supply with automatic power line voltage detection circuit and robust protection circuitry, with firmware upgrades possible via USB.

PRICES AND AVAILABILITY

Each Stereo Monoblock is priced at $9,995 or 9995€ (VAT Incl). Limited stock is available for worldwide shipments starting May 15th, 2024 as the production continues to ramp up.
