In 2021, British h-fi brand Exposure launched a new, updated version of its upper end series of components with the 3510 integrated amplifier, closely followed by a 3510 pre/power amplifier combination. Now, the series is completed with the brand’s new 3510 mono power amplifiers.
Exposure’s 3510 series shares many design elements with the brand’s top-of-range 5010 series.
Key features of the new mono power amplifiers include:
• High capacity power supply circuit designed around a large custom-made toroidal transformer and massive smoothing capacitors to ensure a high current reserve for the output stage with electronic smoothing for low noise on the supply rails to the gain stage.
• All bipolar transistor design using carefully selected parts.
• DC coupled throughout.
• Balanced and unbalanced inputs, enabling compatibility with a wide variety of preamplifiers.
• Bi-wire speaker outputs using high quality shrouded sockets.
• An electronic, non-invasive overload protection circuit and thermal trip ensure that these amplifiers should last a lifetime.
These monos deliver an impressive 100W RMS per channel into 8 Ohms, making them ideal for driving difficult speaker loads. Expect enhanced linearity and lower distortion at high power output.
The 3510 series features Exposure’s signature minimalist design, with full aluminium casework and extruded front panel to control resonance and stray electro-magnetic fields. Available in black or titanium, all components come with a three year guarantee.
