Description

■ The MP1100 Phono Preamplifier is filled to the brim with everything you need to not only play your records, but
also get every last musical note and nuance out of them – including some you may have never heard before.

■ Fully balanced vacuum tube phono stage. Utilizes four 12AX7A vacuum tubes with 2 tubes per channel.
Achieves our most accurate equalization ever. Dual Mono design to help combat noise.

■ Three sets of phono inputs. Each can be configured for either Moving Coil or Moving Magnet cartridges.

■ Extremely customizable: 5 programmable Profiles (in addition to 4 pre-programmed ones), 8 Capacitance &
7 Resistance settings, 5 Analog Equalization Curves, 2 Analog Noise Filters, Adjustable Gain and a Mono setting.

■ Includes a pair of balanced & unbalanced line inputs and fixed outputs plus an optical, coax and USB digital output. It can “rip” records to a computer via USB to produce high quality digital files.

■ Polished stainless steel and hairline brushed black Titanium stainless steel chassis with classic McIntosh
