Luxman P-100 Centennial Headphone Amplifier

The Luxman P-100 Centennial Headphone Amplifier celebrates a century of excellence with the groundbreaking LIFES amplification feedback circuit. This proprietary technology, developed as a cornerstone for Luxman’s future, is designed to provide a dynamic listening experience.

It delivers powerful output of 4W+4W with unbalanced output (8Ω load) and 8W+8W with balanced output (16Ω load), ensuring a robust sound. The amplifier’s design emulates the lush sound field, subtle detail, and vibrant energy found in Luxman’s flagship M-10X power amplifier.

For enhanced performance, the P-100 Centennial is equipped with a high-capacity power supply, featuring independent left and right circuits from the power transformer to the regulator and block capacitor, optimizing sound quality even at high volumes.

Versatility and Customization for High-End Headphones

The Luxman P-100 Centennial Headphone Amplifier offers versatile connectivity options designed to accommodate a wide range of high-end headphones. With multiple output modes such as parallel, BTL, and ground independence, the amplifier ensures compatibility with headphones of varying characteristics.

These modes are made possible by four built-in amplifier circuits. A unique feature allows two P-100 Centennial units to be paired for a mono configuration, delivering ultimate sound performance with a total of eight amplifier circuits in a parallel BTL balanced output setting.

Designed with future-proofing in mind, this amplifier is expandable, enabling it to adapt to emerging headphones with unknown specifications, ensuring it remains at the cutting edge of audio technology.

Premium Build and Design for an Anniversary Celebration

Crafted to reflect its flagship status, the Luxman P-100 Centennial Headphone Amplifier boasts an exterior that complements its high-end performance. The amplifier features a high-rigidity housing, reinforced with an oversized steel bottom plate for added durability.

A striking oversized bonnet with a hairline finish on three sides and a "CENTENNIAL" nameplate symbolizes the 100th anniversary of Luxman’s heritage. Inside, the amplifier is equipped with a high-purity LECUA-EX electronically controlled attenuator, offering 200 stages with precise 0.5 dB adjustments.

The amplifier is also designed with a smooth volume knob and a VOLUME LIMIT function, protecting your ears from excessive volume. Luxman’s attention to detail ensures the P-100 Centennial Headphone Amplifier not only sounds exceptional but looks the part as a fitting tribute to a century of innovation in audio.
