D200 Mrk II

About the D200 Mrk II

The GamuT D200 Mrk II stereo power amplifier features a single pair NPN MOSFET output device transistor design, delivering 220 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 400 watts into 4 ohms, and 700 watts into 2 ohms. It includes balanced (XLR) and single-ended (RCA) inputs, with a four-position input sensitivity switch (-0dB, -6dB, -12dB, -14dB) to tailor gain to the preamplifier output. The amplifier employs a dual-mono configuration with separate power supplies for each channel to reduce distortion and improve stereo imaging. It offers two pairs of speaker outputs per channel to facilitate bi-wiring, including 'Direct' outputs that bypass protective filter networks for enhanced fidelity, especially in the upper registers. The chassis is robust, made of stainless steel with a smooth sanded front panel, and the amplifier weighs approximately 34 kg. The D200 Mrk II is praised for its fluidity, transparency, and natural tonal balance, making it suitable for audiophiles seeking a neutral yet engaging sound signature. It is designed to drive demanding speaker loads down to 1.5 ohms safely with intelligent protection circuitry that mutes the input briefly if a lower impedance is detected. The amplifier is part of GamuT's modular design philosophy, allowing upgrades and servicing over time.
