The Way the Artists Truly intended
Listen to the subtlest nuances of studio-quality sound in higher than CD quality with High-Resolution Audio. Feel as if the artist was performing right in front of you. The XM-5ES 5-channel amplifier is engineered to enhance every track — including High-Resolution Audio files. A range of premium circuit components work together for ultimate efficiency and pitch-perfect sound reproduction, giving every road trip the soundtrack it deserves.
Powerful sound with astonishing clarity
Sony’s expertise and long years of engineering experience with digital amplifiers has made it possible to realize a compact and powerful amplifier, with uncompromising sound quality.
Optimised power blocks
The power supply block is optimally designed for low-noise, highly efficient electric power transmission, where the DC converter with a toroidal core transformer is chosen for less electro-magnetic interference. To reproduce delicate ultra-high-frequency sound, each channel block and the class-D amplification are all isolated with their own ground circuitry, minimising any signal interference.
Select components for superior sound
The upgraded inductors with OFC wires are selected for lower internal resistance and improved sound character, while the high-capacity electrolytic capacitors contribute to precise and responsive bass.
Sturdily built structures
The sturdy aluminium frame and solid (1.2mm) bottom plate reduce vibration and wick away heat, resulting in low resonance and a tightly controlled musical performance.
High-quality speaker terminal
The speaker terminal features Hex-key screws, providing a durable method of tightening the wire connections while accepting bare wire or wire ferrules (up to AWG #8) for superior electrical performance, high-quality sound, and safe connection.
Enhanced logical control and connection placement
Controls for adjustments, and placement of connections, are logically placed for easy understanding and use. The carefully considered layout ensures both intuitive operation and installation simplicity.
Signal summing for seamless connection to factory audio
The new signal summing feature combines filtered audio signals from modern factory car audio systems, such as those for the separate tweeter, woofer and subwoofer, accurately amplifying the full stereo frequency range easily. And you can even send the consolidated line-level signal onto other mono or stereo amps in the chain, allowing for flexible installation in various types of vehicles and audio system setups.
Clear labels and values
The redesigned control panel is logically grouped, and clearly labeled for set up.
