A Complete Audio System Engineered for Every Room in the Home
The Revox STUDIOMASTER M500 brings together powerful amplification, high-resolution streaming and intuitive personalised control within a single, beautifully machined enclosure. Designed and developed in Germany, the Revox STUDIOMASTER M500 addresses a space few high-end all-in-one audio systems have convincingly occupied – where serious amplification, high-resolution streaming and intelligent personalisation converge within a single chassis. Whether placed in a dedicated listening room or deployed across an entire residence, the STUDIOMASTER M500 delivers a calibre of musical performance and operational refinement that reflects more than seven decades of Revox audio expertise.
Amplification That Honours the Recording
The STUDIOMASTER M500 integrated amplifier delivers 2× 180 watts into 2 ohms, with a measured harmonic distortion of just 0.005% at 25 watts – a figure that ensures musical detail remains faithful to the original studio recording. A damping factor of 1,200 at 8 ohms gives the Revox amplifier authoritative speaker control across demanding passages, while HighRes Audio playback at 192 kHz / 24-bit preserves every nuance captured during the mastering process. The noise floor is exceptionally low, with no perceptible distortion or hum, a characteristic verified by Revox’s own measurement data showing the ratio of analogue signal to noise at 1 kHz. For anyone assembling a luxury multiroom audio system or a focused single-room installation, the STUDIOMASTER M500 provides amplification that respects both the music and the loudspeakers entrusted to reproduce the performance.
Streaming, Radio and Connectivity Without Compromise
As a high-end network streaming amplifier, the STUDIOMASTER M500 provides access to Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer, qobuz and internet radio alongside DAB+ and FM broadcasts – ensuring every source preference is accommodated without the need for additional components. Music playback extends across WLAN, LAN and Bluetooth 5.0 (with aptX, AAC and SBC codec support), while Apple AirPlay 2 broadens compatibility further. Physical connections include HDMI ARC for television audio, coaxial and optical digital inputs supporting up to 192 kHz PCM, an analogue stereo input, a stereo pre-out, a mono subwoofer output, and a USB-A port. A dedicated Multi Connect RJ45 port enables integration with other Revox components, including the STUDIOCONTROL C200 and additional room amplifiers. The Revox streamer handles AAC, ALAC, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, OGG Vorbis, WAV and WMA file formats, making the STUDIOMASTER M500 compatible with virtually every digital music library.
Patented Multiuser Personalisation and Multiroom Expansion
What truly distinguishes the Revox STUDIOMASTER M500 within the audiophile streaming amplifier UK market is the patented Revox Multiuser concept. Four individual user profiles can be configured, each with personalised start pages, favourite sources and preferred playlists – all accessible via the Revox Multiuser App or directly through the OLED front display with its seven integrated touch sensors. The Revox multiroom system architecture allows the STUDIOMASTER M500 to operate simultaneously as a server and a room amplifier. Additional STUDIOMASTER units, M30 amplifiers or other Multiuser-compatible components expand the installation into a modular whole-home system, with WLAN connectivity supporting up to eight rooms and LAN extending reach to thirty or more. Zones comprising multiple rooms can be created and managed entirely within the app – a genuine smart music experience tailored to each household member.
Design and Material Quality
The STUDIOMASTER M500 enclosure is machined from aluminium, available in black, silver/black or white, and finished to a standard consistent with Revox’s long-standing design philosophy: purist, timeless and sustainable. The real glass front panel integrates an infrared receiver and a luminous white OLED display (256 × 64 pixels), complemented by seven touch-sensitive controls. Despite the breadth of capability housed within, the Revox M500 measures just 200 mm wide, 87 mm tall and 342 mm deep, weighing only 4.4 kg – a remarkably compact footprint for a high-end all-in-one audio system of this performance class. The STUDIOMASTER M500 received the Red Dot Award for Product Design in 2023, confirming the quality of both engineering and aesthetic execution.
Control Options
Beyond the Multiuser App, the STUDIOMASTER M500 can be operated via the STUDIOCONTROL C200 touchscreen controller, the C18 Multiuser wall control, the C100 Multiuser remote control, or a standard television remote when connected via HDMI ARC. This breadth of control options ensures the Revox amplifier integrates seamlessly into any living environment – from a minimalist urban apartment to a fully specified smart home installation.
In the Box
Each STUDIOMASTER M500 ships with a WLAN antenna, antenna adapter, power cord and patch cable – everything required for immediate setup and network integration.
Pairing Suggestions
The STUDIOMASTER M500 pairs naturally with Revox Prestige and Elegance loudspeaker ranges, each with selectable integrated DSP presets for optimised speaker matching. For expanded installations, the M30 Multiuser Amplifier extends the Revox multiroom system into additional zones, while the STUDIOCONTROL C200 provides a dedicated wall-mounted touchscreen interface for elegant, centralised control.
