Featuring an integrated preamp with precision resistor-array volume control, the MS-1 PRE delivers exceptional channel balance, ultra-low distortion, and outstanding clarity—even at low listening levels. Its advanced multi-stage operational amplifier design provides up to +10dB gain and an impressive 16Vrms output, allowing direct connection to power amplifiers or active speakers without compromise. In addition to pre-amplified RCA and XLR outputs, a fixed 5Vrms XLR output ensures seamless integration into professional or multi-component audio systems. As a powerful hi-res music streamer, the MS-1 PRE supports AirPlay 2, UPnP, DLNA, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and high-resolution streaming from TIDAL, Qobuz, and HighResAudio, along with internet radio services such as Radio Paradise and vTuner. Local playback is equally robust, with support for SSD, USB storage, and NAS libraries. With multiple digital inputs, the Matrix Audio MS-1 PRE easily connects to CD players, TVs, gaming consoles, computers, tablets, and smartphones, making it a premium all-in-one solution for modern high-fidelity systems.
