Supercharged current
The M32 delivers a 50 % increase in current over the M30 Monoblock, with high current output, extremely low noise and distortion and even lower power supply ripple. It is rated at 250 W into 8 Ω and 500 W into 4 Ω, current-limited for safety at 1000 W into 2 Ω, with peak power exceeding 1 kW into 4 Ω.
Fully differential
Not all audio devices offer balanced end-to-end performance. The M32's fully differential design delivers a fast, low-distortion and harmonically accurate musical experience, and paired with any fully differential BRICASTI DESIGN D/A converter it creates a truly balanced system from source to speaker.
Dialled-in design
The improved chassis accommodates a larger, custom-made power transformer, allowing greater separation between the power components and the voltage and current gain sections of the amplifier. The result is exceptionally low noise, with no practical interference between the power supply and the gain stages.
Available versions
- Classic: black finish
- Argento: silver finish
- Platinum: real platinum finish
In the box

BRICASTI DESIGN M32 Monoblock Power Amplifier: frequently asked questions
How powerful is the M32?
250 W into 8 Ω and 500 W into 4 Ω, current-limited for safety at 1000 W into 2 Ω, with peak power above 1 kW into 4 Ω.
How does the M32 differ from the M30?
The M32 builds on the M30 with 50 % more current, a larger custom-made power transformer and even lower power supply ripple.
How many M32 do I need for stereo?
Two: the M32 is a monoblock, one amplifier for each channel.
Can a DAC drive the M32 directly?
Yes. The rear input trim lowers the sensitivity by up to 18 dB in 6 dB steps, to match a preamplifier or a DAC with a level control.
Which finishes are available?
Classic (black), Argento (silver) and Platinum.
Where can I buy the BRICASTI DESIGN M32 Monoblock Power Amplifier in India?
The BRICASTI DESIGN M32 Monoblock Power Amplifier is available from Shivansh Electronics, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, with delivery across India.
Workflow 1: A pair of flagship monoblocks
Stereo systems with a balanced preamplifier such as the M20.
Connections
| Connect | To |
|---|---|
| Preamplifier left balanced output | M32 number 1 XLR input |
| Preamplifier right balanced output | M32 number 2 XLR input |
| Preamplifier trigger out | M32 trigger inputs |
Setup
- Install the speaker cables first.
- Connect the XLR inputs and triggers.
- Press each power switch: idle.
- Press Standby twice: standby, then on.
Tip: Standby can be used to pre-heat the amplifiers.
Workflow 2: A truly balanced system
Owners of BRICASTI DESIGN D/A converters.
Connections
| Connect | To |
|---|---|
| DAC left / right balanced outputs | One M32 each |
Setup
- Use balanced XLR cables throughout.
- Set each input trim for the best level range.
- Control volume at the DAC or source controller.
- Enjoy a balanced path from source to speaker.
Tip: Pair the M32 with any fully differential BRICASTI DESIGN DAC.
Workflow 3: The most demanding loudspeakers
Large, low impedance loudspeakers.
Connections
| Connect | To |
|---|---|
| Each M32 output | One loudspeaker |
Setup
- Use spade or ring lugs, or banana plugs.
- Tighten the posts with an 11 mm driver.
- Power up.
- Play at any level.
Tip: 1000 W into 2 Ω, current-limited for safety.
Workflow 4: Short speaker cables
Systems where the amplifiers sit by the loudspeakers.
Connections
| Connect | To |
|---|---|
| Preamplifier | Long balanced XLR cables |
| M32 | Short speaker cables |
Setup
- Place one M32 near each loudspeaker.
- Run balanced XLR and trigger cables.
- Keep the ventilation clear.
- Power up.
Tip: Balanced inputs suit long interconnect runs.
Workflow 5: Upgrading from the M30
Listeners wanting more current.
Connections
| Connect | To |
|---|---|
| Existing balanced sources | M32 pair |
Setup
- Connect the M32 in place of the previous amplifiers.
- Use the same balanced connections.
- Match levels with the input trim.
- Listen for the added depth and solidity.
Tip: 50 % more current than the M30, with even lower supply ripple.
Workflow 6: Clean power down
Every user.
Connections
| Connect | To |
|---|---|
| M32 | Mains |
Setup
- Press Standby quickly to mute inputs and outputs.
- Wait for the LED to flash at one third of the speed.
- Switch off at the front power switch.
- A 2 s press of Standby returns to idle instead.
Tip: Placing the amplifier in standby first ensures a clean, safe power off.
