A Legacy Reborn

At HIGH END Munich 2025, the world witnessed a bold new chapter in high-end audio as HARMAN Luxury Audio Group unveiled the Mark Levinson 600 Series — a trio of reference components that redefines what it means to listen with intent. More than just a product launch, the 600 Series signals a new era of musical fidelity, precision engineering, and emotional resonance — the cornerstones of Mark Levinson for over five decades.

The new lineup comprises three extraordinary components:

• The № 626 Dual-Monaural Preamplifier

• The № 632 Dual-Monaural Amplifier

• The № 631 Monaural Amplifier

All are designed, engineered, and meticulously assembled in the USA to the brand’s uncompromising standards.

“The Mark Levinson 600 Series reflects more than 50 years of mastering the art and science of sound,” said Jim Garrett, Senior Director, Product Strategy and Planning, HARMAN Luxury Audio. “It’s about capturing the emotion, power, and nuance of a musical performance with breathtaking clarity.”

№ 626 Preamplifier: Analog Heart, Digital Mind

The № 626 Dual-Monaural Preamplifier blends a pure analog soul with advanced digital capability. Anchored by the Precision Link III DAC, it decodes high-resolution audio up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and native DSD across six digital inputs. A Pure Path™ fully balanced architecture ensures absolute signal integrity, while an integrated MM/MC phono stage and Class A headphone amplifier round out a preamp that does it all — and does it with sonic grace.

Housed in a sculpted aluminum chassis with modular isolation and mechanically damped foot architecture, the № 626 invites the listener into a world where every source sings with truth and texture.

№ 632 & № 631 Amplifiers: Power Without Compromise

The 600 Series power amplifiers are feats of engineering artistry. Both the № 632 Dual-Monaural Amplifier and № 631 Monaural Amplifier deliver commanding authority and exquisite finesse in equal measure.

• The № 632 offers dual-mono stereo power with independent circuitry and isolated power supplies in a single chassis — ideal for stereo purists who crave separation and slam.

• The № 631, a monoblock powerhouse, pushes the boundaries of dynamics, speed, and tonal realism — capable of driving the most demanding loudspeakers with sovereign control.

Both designs feature Class A/AB operation, fully balanced Pure Path topologies, and massive toroidal transformers, ensuring breathtaking scale, clarity, and holographic imaging.

Form Follows Fidelity

Visually, the 600 Series breaks new ground with Tectonic industrial design — sculpted from solid aluminum, finished with volcanic glass, and illuminated by a red ember-like glow. It’s a look as bold as the sound, and every bit as deliberate. From rhodium-plated connectors to vibration-isolated architecture, every detail speaks of the brand’s relentless commitment to performance purity.

These are not just components. They are instruments of truth.

The World Premiere at HIGH END Munich 2025

The global debut of the Mark Levinson 600 Series took place during the exclusive HARMAN Summit of Sound at HIGH END Munich on May 15, 2025. Held at Atrium 4.1, Room E119, the unveiling featured a keynote address, immersive listening sessions, and a celebration that marked the beginning of a new era in reference audio.

Experience the 600 Series

For those who demand the extraordinary, the Mark Levinson 600 Series delivers an unmatched experience of musical depth, dynamic force, and emotional truth. It is not merely an evolution — it is a reinvention of high-fidelity for the next generation of listeners.
