The Kharma Matrix MP150 is a Class D mono power amplifier designed with advanced pulse width modulation (PWM) technology, producing 100 watts into 8 ohms and 150 watts into 4 ohms. It features a frequency response from DC to 50 kHz (-3 dB), total harmonic distortion (THD) and intermodulation distortion (IMD) below 0.02%, and an exceptionally high damping factor exceeding 400 up to 2 kHz and above 100 at 20 kHz. The amplifier uses a purist design with minimal parts in the signal path and employs self-oscillation based on phase shift feedback to control jitter without a separate oscillator. It accepts balanced XLR inputs and is known for its very low noise floor and musical sound quality that combines the best traits of tube and transistor amplifiers. The MP150 is highly regarded for its balanced tonal presentation, airy treble, and ability to drive a wide range of loudspeakers with clarity and energy, making it a competitive amplifier in its class and price range.
