The MP1100 Phono Preamplifier will give vinyl lovers a new level of
musical enjoyment and exhilaration. It’s filled to the brim with
everything you need to not only play new records or pressings from the
early days of vinyl, but it will also get every last musical note and
nuance out of them – including some you may have never heard before.

The MP1100 is designed first and foremost for analog audio and
achieves our most accurate equalization ever. It utilizes four 12AX7A
vacuum tubes, with 2 tubes used per channel in a fully balanced
configuration – making it our very first fully balanced vacuum tube
phono stage. For those with multiple turntables or tonearms, there are 3
sets of RCA phono inputs; XLR connectors are also available on 1 of the
inputs. All phono inputs allow for adjusting both resistance (7
settings) and capacitance (8 settings). For ease of use, it comes
pre-programmed with profiles for Moving Coil and Moving Magnet
cartridges as well as the McIntosh MT10 and MT5
turntables. Five additional profiles are included that are fully
customizable and can be assigned to any phono input. RIAA, LP, NAB, AES
and 78 analog equalization curves are included. Two fairly rare but
highly useful analog filters are built-in: a Rumble Filter helps remove
noise that may have seeped into a song during the recording process;
while a Scratch Filter can help restore the sound of frequently-played
records that may have become a little worn, or records that may have
some damage. Adjustable gain from 40dB to 64dB allows for further
customization, while a Mono setting permits proper playback of mono
recordings. In addition, there’s a pair each of balanced and unbalanced
high level inputs for connecting other sources. For connecting to the
rest of your audio system, there are a pair each of balanced and
unbalanced stereo outputs.

Not to completely overlook the merits of digital audio, the MP1100
has an optical, coaxial and USB output. These digital outputs are fixed
at 24-bits and can be set to either 96kHz or 192kHz. When used with a
properly configured conversion program, the USB output can be used to
“rip” your albums to your computer. Our digital output clipping
indicator will notify you when distortion caused by loud sections in a
song is being recorded to the file, allowing you to adjust your settings
in order to create pristine, distortion free digital versions of your
albums.

To combat noise, the MP1100 features a dual mono design with the left
and right audio channels electrically and mechanically isolated from
each other while the power supplies are electronically separated. It can
be paired with any preamplifier, integrated amplifier or home theater processor that includes volume control. An ideal match is our C1100 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier which also has a dual mono design; both also share the same polished
stainless steel and hairline brushed black Titanium stainless steel
chassis to create a cohesive appearance. Classic McIntosh design cues
complete the MP1100.
