Technics Announces the SU-G700M2 Integrated Amplifier as Successor to the Highly Acclaimed SU-G700

7th September 2021 - Technics today announced the launch of the new SU-G700M2 Integrated Amplifier. This builds upon the platform of its successful and widely acclaimed predecessor, the SU-G700.

The new SU-G700M2 is a typical example of Technics’ untiring efforts to constantly improve even its most accomplished audiophile products. With the new
SU-G700M2, advanced technologies derived from Technics’ Reference SU-R1000 Integrated Amplifier were trickled down to set a new standard at this more affordable price point.

The SU-G700M2 inherits Technics’ full-digital core amplifier technologies, such as the JENO Engine (Jitter Elimination and Noise-Shaping Optimization) for highest signal precision free of jitter and distortion, and LAPC (Load Adaptive Phase Calibration) for optimal matching to any speaker.

The new SU-G700M2 also incorporates the following additional features:

• An Advanced Speed Silent Power Supply (AS²PS), incorporating “fast” semiconductor parts such as GaN (Gallium-Nitride) FETs and Silicium Carbide (SiC) Diodes for a much more reactive, efficient supply of current to the power stage for higher drivability of speakers. This approach was used for the power supply of the Reference SU-R1000
• Improved sound image and dynamic power, combining low distortion and high transparency with energetic drive, improved soundstage and precise focus of voices and instruments without sharpness
• A high-quality MC phono input stage (in addition to MM input) for direct connectivity to turntables with high-end MC pickup cartridges
• Phono Input Phase selector for optimised playback of mainly older vinyl discs recorded with inverted phase
• Volume and source knobs now have the aluminium “spin” texture also derived from the SU-R1000 Reference Amplifier for clear distinction from the original SU-G700

The SU-G700M2 will be available in Europe from October 2021 for £2199. The finish options for the hairline-brushed aluminium casework are silver or black.

About Technics amplifiers

Technics is the brand name of hi-fi audio products owned by the Panasonic Corporation with main residence in Osaka, Japan. The Technics brand was founded in 1965. Driven by a constant strive for innovation and excellence within the audio field, countless legendary hi-fi components have been released by the Technics brand, many of them having set new standards in the audio world.
In the amplifier world, technologies such as OTL (Output transformer-less), OCL (Output capacitor-less), Class A+ or the Battery Driven Power Supply have been inventions by Technics and have gained legendary status.
Since the brand rebirth in 2014, Technics has released amplifiers built on their proprietary full-digital approach based on the JENO Engine (Jitter Elimination and Noise-Shaping Optimization), also applying LAPC (Load Adaptive Phase Calibration) for perfectly matching a Technics amplifier to any speaker connected.
