Winner of numerous awards, the Reference 75 SE is a stunning amplifier in every way – performance, styling and reliability combined to elevate your music listening to a new experience. Capable of controlling a wide variety of speakers, the Reference 75 SE will transport you into the musical performance unlike any other comparable amplifier.
At the heart of the Reference 75 SE is decades of proven Audio Research vacuum tube technology, a
legacy unrivaled by any other manufacturer of tube electronics. Developed through hundreds of hours of critical listening, the carefully selected components comprising the Reference 75 SE combine to provide an amplifier which transcends traditional hi-fi, instead relaying music with realism and tangibility.
Visually, the Reference 75 SE hearkens back to past Audio Research products, taking inspiration from
earlier amplifer designs. With its two large VU meters, which display power output as well as provide bias adjustments, the Reference 75 SE has a timeless appearance resembling precision laboratory equipment and an overbuilt, industrious aesthetic. Offered in both natural aluminum and black finishes, the understated look will complement any system.

Product Information:
Power Output: 75 watts per channel continuous from20Hz to 20kHz. 1kHz total harmonic distortion typically 0.6% at 75 watts, below 0.05% at 1 watt.
Approximate actual power available at ‘clipping’ 76 watts (1kHz). (Note that actual power output is dependent upon both line voltage and ‘condition’ i. e.: if power line has high distortion, maximum power will be affected adversely, although from a listening standpoint this is not very critical)
Power Bandwidth: (-3dB points) 7Hz to 60kHz
Frequency Response: (-3dB points at 1 watt) 0.7Hz to 75 kHz
Input Sensitivity: 1.4V RMS BAL for rated output. (25 dB Bal gain into 8 ohms)
Input Impedance: 300K ohms Balanced Output Polarity: Non-inverting.
Balanced input pin 2+ (IEC-268)
Output Taps: 8 ohms, 4 ohms
Output Regulation: Approximately 1.0dB 8 ohm load to open circuit (Damping factor approximately 8)
Overall Negative Feedback: 15dB
