Product Description:
Developed through a partnership with the esteemed audio engineer Peter Madnick, celebrated for his outstanding achievements in the high-fidelity audio sector, the MasterPhono preamplifier stands as a tribute to his profound knowledge. The aim of the MasterPhono was clear-cut: to mirror the audio fidelity that distinguishes the acclaimed MFSL vinyl reissues. This ambitious objective was pursued with over a year dedicated to thorough research, development, and prototyping efforts.
Elevating Vinyl Playback with Precision Engineering
The MasterPhono preamplifier, born from a collaboration with the esteemed audio engineer Peter Madnick, known for his unparalleled contributions to the high-fidelity audio realm, serves as a reflection of his mastery. It was developed with a clear mission: to emulate the pristine sound quality that is the hallmark of the famous MFSL vinyl reissues. This endeavor underscores the dedication to preserving the authenticity and richness of vinyl sound.
Versatile Inputs, Infinite Soundscapes
The MasterPhono distinguishes itself through its adaptability. Featuring distinct inputs along with both balanced and single-ended outputs, it provides a wide array of user-customizable options, seamlessly navigable through the front panel. The analog meters adorning the front panel capture the authentic spirit of the MasterPhono's analog lineage. Additionally, a USB input introduces the possibility for upcoming enhancements and software upgrades, guaranteeing an experience that stays ahead of the curve.
Precise Input Flexibility
Select between the traditional signal input ("Voltage Input") through RCA & XLR connectors or opt for the "Current Input" specifically designed for phono cartridges with low source impedance, leveraging "Trans-impedance dynamic loading" for optimized performance.
Perfect Loading
Discover the ideal compatibility for your cartridge with 10 selectable impedance loading adjustments, featuring a "Custom" option accessible through an RCA plug on the rear panel.
Dual Function VU Meters
Dual meters can be used for monitoring or calibration of cartridge azimuth.
