Introduction

Performance Features

The McIntosh MP1100 Phono Preamplifier is one of

the finest Phono Preamplifiers ever created and has

the ability for connections to components with analog

and digital inputs. The MP1100 reproduction is soni-

cally transparent and absolutely accurate. The McIn-

tosh Sound is “The Sound of the Music Itself.”

• Electromagnetic Input Switching

Digital Logic Circuits drive Electromagnetic Switches

on Inputs and operating functions for reliable, noise-

less, distortion free switching.

• Vacuum Tube Phono Amplification

The MP1100 utilizes Vacuum Tube Amplification

Circuitry for the Phono Inputs. The circuits use the

latest designs providing the lowest possible noise and

distortion.

• Fully Balanced Circuitry

The MP1100 utilizes the very latest in Fully Balanced

Circuitry from the Input Connectors all the way to the

Output Connectors for the lowest possible noise and

distortion.

• Moving Coil and Moving Magnet Phono Inputs

The MP1100 has three precision Phono Preamplifier

Circuits with unbalanced and balanced connections.

They have the ability to be configured for Moving

Coil or Moving Magnet Cartridges. The close toler-

ance resistors and capacitors used in the Equaliza-

tion Circuitry provide an extremely flat frequency

response.

• Selectable Phono Cartridge Loading

Adjustable Capacitance and Resistance Loading are

available for both Moving Coil and Moving Magnet

Phono Cartridges. Resistance Loading is selectable

from values of 25 ohms to 47,000 ohms. Capacitance

Loading is selectable from values of 50 picofarads to

400 picofarads.

• Balanced and Unbalanced Outputs

The Balanced Outputs allow connection using long

cable lengths without a loss in sound quality. The

MP1100 also has unbalanced Output connections for

compatibility with a wide range of audio components.

• Rumble and Scratch Filters

Selectable Rumble and Scratch Filters can improve the

quality of sound when playing back older vinyl recod-

ings.

• Digital Audio Outputs

The Digital Outputs encode PCM Signals from the

selected Input (Phono and Line). Coaxial and Optical

Outputs process Digital Signals at 96kHz or 192kHz

with 24-Bit resolution. The Digital Outputs have two

different output level settings and the Digital Circuitry

can be switched Off providing true analog only signal

processing.

• USB Digital Audio Output

The USB Digital Output provides Digital Signals at

96kHz or 192kHz with 24-Bit resolution from the

selected Input.

• Dual Mono Design

The circuitry for both channels is totally separate,

physically isolated and shielded which helps to assure

total channel isolation.

• Selectable Equalizer

In addition to normal RIAA Equalization Standard,

the MP1100 provides the ability to select four alterna-

tive Equalization Settings of LP, AES, NAB or 78.

This helps to assure a desired tonal balance when

playing a wide variety of phonograph records made

before the RIAA Equalization Standard was em-

ployed.

• Alphanumeric Fluorescent Display

The Front Panel Information Display indicates the

Source Selection, Cartridge Loading, Equalizer and

Setup Mode Selections. The display intensity is ad-

justable.

• Illuminated Output Meters

The Illuminated Output Meters are peak responding,

and indicate the output of the MP1100 Phono Pream-

plifier.

• Special Power Supply

The Multi Regulated Power Supply and a special

R-Core Power Transformer ensure stable noise free

operation even though the power line varies.

• Remote Control with External Sensor Input

The Remote Control provides control of the MP1100

operating functions. The External Sensor Input pro-

vides Remote Control when the MP1100 is located

behind closed doors or in another room.
