At the heart of the amplifier is the unique LIFES amplification feedback circuit, which Luxman developed as a core technology that should be installed in its product lineup after the 100th anniversary. It achieves a generous output of 4W+4W (unbalanced output 8Ω load) and 8W+8W (balanced output 16Ω load), and has achieved the same rich sound field space, delicate expressiveness, and magnificent sound full of energy as the flagship power amplifier model M-10X. In order to support high sound quality and high power, it is equipped with a large-capacity inertia power supply with a completely independent left and right configuration from the power transformer to the regulator and block capacitor.

 

In addition, assuming connection to high-end headphones with various characteristics from all over the world, multiple output modes such as parallel, BTL, and ground independence that combine the four built-in amplifier circuits can be selected. As an additional special mode, two P-100 CENTENNIALs are used to operate in mono, and an ultimate parallel BTL balanced output setting using a total of eight amplifier circuits is also available. It is also equipped with expandability that will allow it to fully demonstrate its capabilities even when combined with headphones with unknown characteristics that will be released in the future.

In addition to the conventional functions, the P-100 CENTENNIAL is equipped with a high-purity electronically controlled attenuator LECUA-EX with 200 stages in 0.5 dB steps, which is composed of a smooth and moderately heavy volume knob and a rotary encoder, a large 3-digit 7-segment LED, and a VOLUME LIMIT function to protect your ears from excessive volume.

 

As an exterior suitable for a flagship, it is equipped with a high-rigidity housing and an extremely thick bottom steel plate that have been enlarged to support a large amount of material, an oversized bonnet with a hairline finish on three sides, and a "CENTENNIAL" nameplate representing the 100th anniversary. The P-100 CENTENNIAL is an anniversary model that has been perfected with overwhelming drivability and musicality, and is presented to all headphone lovers who aim for the pinnacle of direct listening from Luxman, which is about to celebrate its 100th anniversary.
