Matrix Audio - MD-1 & MD-1P
Music Streamer Integrated Amplifier
Exceptional Sound and Efficiency
The MD-1 and MD-1P deliver outstanding power output. The MD-1 provides 150W per channel at 8 ohms, while the MD-1P offers an even more powerful 300W per channel at 8 ohms. Both bookshelf and floor-standing speakers can be effortlessly driven. Utilizing high-efficiency amplification technology, these amplifiers achieve strong power output with lower energy consumption, reducing heat generation. Advanced PWM signal processing technology effectively minimizes audio signal distortion, ensuring pure, detailed, and flawless sound reproduction - perfectly catering to audiophiles' stringent demands for sound quality.
Minimalism
The MD-1 and MD-1P are meticulously crafted power amplifier by Matrix Audio, innovatively integrating a music streamer and a power amplifier into one device while incorporating a comprehensive streaming ecosystem. With just a single unit and a pair of passive speakers, you can build a high-quality Hi-Fi system, eliminating the complexity of traditional setups and offering a new, convenient solution for seamless home audio experiences.
Dual-Speaker Output Lossless Connection
Matrix Audio's custom-designed gold-plated solid pure copper speaker terminals ensure lower resistance and a secure grip on speaker cables, preserving every detail of the audio signal. The MD-1P goes even further, with two pairs of terminals, allowing two pairs of speakers to be connected simultaneously. Users can easily switch between them via IR remote for quick A/B comparisons, offering a more convenient Hi-Fi experience.
Precision Preamp Volume Control
Featuring a 256-step high-precision digitally controlled analog preamp volume system, it eliminates the sound degradation caused by mechanical wear in traditional potentiometers. Supporting fine adjustments from -80dB to +12dB with 0.5dB steps, it optimizes the voltage output curve through advanced algorithms to ensure perfect phase synchronization between the left and right channels, preserving soundstage integrity even at low volumes. Additionally, a 12-step channel balance compensation allows for fine-tuning based on speaker placement and listening environment.
Preamp & Subwoofer Output
Equipped with preamp and subwoofer output ports featuring synchronized volume control, allowing seamless integration with external power amplifiers. The low-frequency output precisely delivers audio signals below 150Hz, making it easier to connect an active subwoofer and extend the ultra-low-frequencies. The MD-1P goes even further, with dual low-frequency outputs, ensuring perfect compatibility for larger listening spaces requiring dual subwoofers. Additionally, a trigger interface enables power synchronization with active subwoofers, eliminating the need for manual power switching and enhancing convenience.
