stax srm-500t
Stax introduces a new model SRM-500T to replace its successor of SRM-006tS. The SRM-500T utilizes a pair of 6FQ7/6CG7 vacuum tubes as the output, driven by custom-made low noise dual FET. Stax pride itself in offering a great value electrostatic driver at the best possible performance
Newly Designed
The newly designed power transformer enables power efficiency. As a result, it achieves an improved sound quality than the conventional vacuum tube output driver unit found in SRM-006tS.
Low Voltage Winding
In addition to the conventional power transformer for the high voltage circuit, the newly designed power transformer with the winding for the low voltage circuit is installed in SRM-500T. The low voltage winding enables to improve the power efficiency and achieve further power saving and better sound quality than the conventional vacuum tube output driver units such as SRM-006tS.
Non-magnetic Aluminum Chassis
The new chassis which is more rigid than the conventional model is installed. The chassis has a hybrid structure using a lot of non-magnetic aluminum and further reduces the effect of the environmental noise factors such as vibrations. The inputs are RCA and XLR, the mutual exclusion inputs. The custom made concentric dual volume knob which is common to STAX products and RCA PARALLEL OUT functions are installed same as the conventional driver units. All electric components are strictly selected considering the environment. Also the sound quality and the performance is improved. The complete DC amplifier configuration that the signal circuit includes no coupling condensers is one of the biggest traditional features. The clear and highly transparent sound, a feature of the vacuum tube circuit and the warm and wide sound texture is maintained and the thickness of the low-mid range is brushed up.
