The No 533H is a three-channel power amplifier from Mark Levinson's No 500H Series, featuring a semi-mono-block design that shares power supplies across channels, ideal for multi-channel environments where power demands vary per channel. It uses the same amplifier module as the No 531H and No 532H models, ensuring a consistent sonic signature. Each channel delivers 300 watts into 8 ohms with fully differential circuitry maintaining balanced signals throughout the signal path. The amplifier includes balanced XLR and single-ended RCA inputs, Hurricane binding posts for secure speaker connections, and Ethernet and 12V trigger controls for system integration. The chassis and signal grounds are isolated to minimize noise and optimize detail at low listening levels. It has a black anodized aluminum finish and weighs 90 lbs (40.8 kg).
