MP1

MP1

Overview

The MP1 is an important new product that helps integrate the worlds of two-channel and multichannel music and multichannel home theater in one elegant, easy-to-operate package. Naturally, it also mates wonderfully with the acclaimed 150M modular multichannel amplifier.

With its chassis the same size as a Reference preamplifier, the MP1 is physically impressive. Each of its six channels is on a vertical, modular plug-in board with gold-plated gas-tight connectors. The mainframe chassis contains massive, fully-regulated power supplies utilizing two ultra-quiet transformers. The front panel contains a large vacuum-florescent display on the left, indicating volume control display (in 0.5dB steps) has large, easy to read 3/4 inch numerals with six brightness levels, plus off. When the display is turned off, it can be reactivated (at its lowest brightness level) for ten seconds by touching any button on the remote.
