The MP100 is the first dedicated phono preamplifier from McIntosh and
is designed to help both new and experienced vinyl lovers get the most
fidelity, performance and – most importantly – enjoyment from their
albums.

Like all McIntosh products, the MP100 is packed with features
designed specifically for the vinyl lover including: Moving Coil and
Moving Magnet inputs; Moving Coil and Moving Magnet adjustable loading
(6 settings each); balanced and unbalanced analog outputs; optical, coax
and USB digital outputs; and a Mono switch for when playing mono
records to decrease noise and play the signal correctly.

There are many ways to integrate the MP100 into your audio system. If
you’re new to vinyl and just building your system, it can become the
main part of your setup. Or if you already have a system with an older
preamp you don’t want to part with, the MP100 is an excellent way to add
modern phono features. If you’ve got a home theater system and would like to add a turntable,
the MP100 is an easy way to add full phono preamp capabilities without
having to get a full-sized stereo preamp that would undoubtedly
duplicate many of your home theater processor’s features.
