The McIntosh MP100 Vinyl Preamp with USB Connectivity is a must-have for any vinyl audio enthusiast. This turntable amplifier offers a range of features designed to enhance your listening experience. With inputs for both Moving Coil and Moving Magnet cartridges, adjustable loading options, and both balanced and unbalanced analog outputs, this preamp meets all your audio needs.
For those who want to integrate modern technology with traditional vinyl, the MP100 includes optical, coaxial, and turntable amplifier with USB output. It also has a Mono switch, making it perfect for playing mono records without the noise interference. You can completely power down the digital outputs for pure analog use if desired.
Whether you’re just starting your journey into vinyl or you’re looking to upgrade an existing system, the MP100 serves as the ideal centerpiece. It’s also a fantastic solution for adding phono capabilities to your home theater system, eliminating the need for a full-sized stereo preamp that may duplicate features you already have.
One of the standout features of the MP100 is its ability to convert vinyl to high-quality digital files. With the right setup, you can rip your records to your computer via USB, capturing the full dynamic range at 24-bit/96kHz while keeping file sizes manageable. The built-in clipping indicator ensures your recordings remain distortion-free during loud sections.
Compact yet stylish, the MP100 stands at just 3” tall and shares the signature 11.5” chassis design found in other McIntosh products like the MXA80 Integrated Audio System and MHA150 Headphone Amplifier, allowing for a cohesive look in your audio setup.
