Price $200 lower on 18 June @ 1pm MDT. These amps are phenomenal performers, and shall exceed expectations for power amps up to 3x the listed price.

Suitable for 110V to 240V AC mains. International sales welcome.

Which amp is best for you? Have you considered the absolute transparency of the Hypex NC400BTL Bridged Mono Blocks? NC400 delivers serious power! And the this bridged version delivers twice as much! This amp is a new class D benchmark.

A rare opportunity to purchase and own a pair of Hypex NCore NC400BTL bridged tied load mono blocks, rated 400/800/1200W @ 8/4/2 Ohm, 1 Ohm minimum, built by renown NC400 vendor and James Romeyn Music and Audio LLC. James has built NCore amps for two-time Grammy winner Alan Silverman of Arf Productions! in New York, two NC400 for Alan's neighbor Loove Labs Studio in New York, and for a tracking studio in San Francisco's Mission District. Alan emailed us that NC400, "...changed the way I listen to music..."

Each BTL mono block has 1200W Hypex power supply with current capacity equal to two (2) 600W Hypex regular mono blocs. Each BTL mono block positively equals the current and voltage capacity of two regular NC400 mono blocks w/600W PS, but with less distortion and twice the output at every impedance, including 1 Ohm minimum.

Amps are easily modified for Stereo function, 200/400/600W @ 8/4/2 Ohm, 1 Ohm minimum. These two amps in Stereo mode are exact performance equivalent of four NC400 regular mono w/600W PS. Upon request seller shall supply four new XLR and eight new gold binding posts to convert both amps, with detail instructions (or shall do the work for free).

NC400BTL outperform legendary NC400 Stereo and/or regular mono blocs at every power specification, even small fraction of a Watt. Search “NC400 bridged” for user raves v. standard NC400.

Seller built and sold these amps new October 2015. Factory Hypex parts warranty till October 2017 (Hypex has extended warranty dates for stock, non-abused parts).

Seller warrants all non-Hypex parts and all workmanship for five years from date of this sale, same as new warranty.

Built to every Hypex specification. Includes optional OEM “nAMPON” (negative amp on) switch, which mutes input and reduces idle current to only 4W. Ideal use is toggle up for normal play during the day, toggle down to mute input and 4W idle while sleeping. Such use of the nAMPON switch increases NC400 shelf life beyond NC400 lacking nAMPON switch.

Includes optional Hypex recommended metal foil “synchronizing” capacitor across the speaker outputs (see images, wrapped with brown putty for mechanical damping). Class 2 wiring per Hypex spec minimizes noise with unbalanced source.

Neutrik XLR input with gold contacts. Large heavy duty binding posts with gold contacts. 8mm thick natural brushed alloy face plate. To prevent top plate ringing, top damped with self-adhesive asphalt type damping sheet and damping pads added to chassis at mating surfaces.

In short, every single detail is meticulously covered to insure the absolutely best NC400 performance and longest shelf life.

These two amps comprise the world's best value, performance, and long term service for ultra high power mono blocks.

Weight 8.5 lbs net each amp.

Contact vendor for ideal IC with unbalanced source. XLR input only. Each amp requires AC mains cable not included.

Packing: each amp in separate inner carton with bubble wrap. More bubble wrap between inner and outer cartons. Your amps arrive safe and sound the first time. Perfect for safe shipping to international client.

Note: currently set for lowest possible noise via factory optional gain of 12.1 dB (R141 removed). Upon request seller shall re-install R141 for standard gain of 25.5 dB.

For buyers needing a line stage preamp worthy of these power amps, contact seller for a particular recommendation, used value <$300, with performance matching preamps up to $7500.


Thanks for looking!

Questions for the seller
I have the NC500 mono amps, driving electrostatic speakers. How would these BTL mono better what I have?
Howdy Mr. Henning, I heard NC500 mono in our 2015 RMAF room, in our demo system. NC500 presentation mimics regular NC400, the difference primarily being that NC400 supplies more current for improved performance below 4 Ohm, while NC500 supplies a little more voltage above 4 Ohm. IMO, Bruno's prime motive in designing in the above differences, was to differentiate the OEM NC500 from the DIY NC400, not because one approach always outperforms the other. The load determines which amp performs best. If your load is typical for a stat, it drops very low in the treble, well below 4 Ohm, and is better suited to even regular NC400 than regular NC500. This NC400BTL would thoroughly outperform regular NC500 mono, no contest. At every power level, from .001W to whatever is your speaker's peak power handling, this NC400BTL audibly and thoroughly outperforms any NC500, even BTL. Your speaker is ideally suited to NC400BTL. I'm sure you are fairly happy with NC500, but this is an audible upgrade. The more difficult the load, the bigger the NC400 advantage over NC500. This NC400BTL would even outperform NC500BTL. IIRC, NC500 makes 375/600/500W @ 8/4/2 Ohm. NC400BTL makes 400/800/1200W @ 8/4/2 Ohm, 1 Ohm stable. The treble would sound more pure, more open, and more dynamic, with less noise modulating with the music, and absolutely no down side. The best quality of the stat, its treble transparency, is improved. NC400BTL would more closely mimic the sound of an ultra high end SET tube amp in the treble. I'm sure you'd love it. Please feel free to call or PM for any further concerns, 435 213 3953 in Utah, 9am-9pm. I'm available till about 10:30pm (it's 9:55pm now). Best, James Romeyn
