The latest flagship Integrated Amplifier offering from Luxman - an all-in-one amplifier that takes the Z-Series integrated amplifiers to the next level. This new "single-chassis separates" concept is the premium model for the new Z-Series generation, and represents a major evolution in the world of traditional integrated amplifiers.

Key Features:

  • Rated Output: 2x120W (8Ω), 2x220W (4Ω)
  • 3-band tone control
  • High-quality phono EQ
  • Large needle-movement VU level meter and 7-segment LED
  • Headphones outputs with ground isolation

The L-509Z showcases the latest advancements in amplification technology. This amplifier employs our new generation amplification feedback engine, LIFES (Luxman Integrated Feedback Engine System), in both the preamplifier and power amplifier sections, resulting in unparalleled performance. The LECUA-EX (Luxman Electronically Controlled Ultimate Attenuator - Excellent eXperience) attenuator system supports the volume control, preventing sound quality degradation and providing a more precise operation. Additionally, the L-509Z's "single-chassis separates" design achieves an unprecedented level of audio performance, making it the ultimate integrated amplifier. The passion for music and dedication to audio excellence are fully realised in the L-509Z, representing a new pinnacle of Luxman's integrated amplifier design.

The L-509Z is a pre-main amplifier from Luxman that utilises the unique "ODNF" (Only Distortion Negative Feedback) amplification circuitry and independent LIFES modules to achieve exceptional sound quality and unprecedented detail. It features three-stage Darlington bipolar transistors in quadruple-paralleled push-pull configuration, delivering outstanding output power and near-perfect power linearity performance. The L-509Z develops 120W+120W at 8 ohms and 220W+220W at 4 ohms, making it an excellent choice for music enthusiasts looking for a high-fidelity audio experience.

The L-509Z features a highly precise rotary encoder and a weighted rotation mechanism for its volume control system, which offers even greater precision and a natural, high-quality operational feel. The LECUA attenuator system switches through a series of high-quality, fixed-value resistors for each channel independently, ensuring precise control over the voltage attenuation while maintaining the quality of the input source. With 88 fine steps from 0 to 87dB, acceleration and long-press settings, the L-509Z provides comfortable and thorough volume control with minimal degradation in sound quality.

Highly regulated power supply

The L-509Z from Luxman comes with a highly stable power supply circuitry that has been a traditional feature of Luxman products. The system includes a bespoke and highly regulated 600VA El transformer and newly developed large-capacity filter capacitors (10,000μFx 8), ensuring stable and reliable power supply.

High-quality phono EQ

A built-in high-quality phono equaliser circuit that supports both MM and MC cartridges. The circuit also includes a new two-step gain switch that allows for the selection of high and low MC settings, accommodating a wider range of MC cartridges and enhancing the quality of vinyl playback in terms of both operation and sound quality. The front panel now includes a mute button for added convenience.

3-band tone control

A new Middle control has been designed to enhance the vocal and lead instrument frequencies bandwidth, in addition to the Bass and Treble controls. LR balance, line straight, and loudness controls all easily accessible at your fingertips to allow you to fine-tune your audio settings for an ultimate listening experience.
