• Dual Speaker & Dual Subwoofer Outputs: Equipped with two pairs of speaker outputs for A/B comparison and two subwoofer outputs for perfectly integrated bass in larger spaces.
• Precision Analog Volume Control: A 256-step digitally controlled analog preamp ensures perfect channel balance and signal purity at any volume level.
• Complete Analog & Digital Hub: Features a full suite of inputs, including a dedicated MM Phono stage, balanced XLR, RCA, HDMI ARC, USB, and multiple Optical/Coaxial ports.

Effortless Power, Exquisite Control

At the heart of the MD-1P is a state-of-the-art, high-efficiency power amplifier delivering a commanding 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms. This immense power reserve allows it to drive a vast range of loudspeakers, from compact bookshelf models to large, demanding floor-standers, with unwavering grip and dynamic authority. Advanced PWM signal processing technology ensures that this power is delivered with extreme purity and minimal distortion, preserving the finest details and textures in the music for a truly flawless and immersive listening experience.

Reference-Level Digital Engine

The digital processing section of the MD-1P is engineered to a mastering-grade standard. It features a flagship D/A converter chip timed by a dual femtosecond clock architecture, providing discrete, ultra-stable clock signals for both 44.1kHz and 48kHz-based sample rates. These are managed by a high-speed FPGA running Matrix Audio’s proprietary clock division and jitter reduction algorithms. This meticulous approach to digital processing minimizes timing errors to an infinitesimal level, resulting in a sound that is precise, airy, and incredibly true to the source recording.

The Ultimate Analog Hub

The MD-1P is not just a digital marvel; it's a complete analog control center. A dedicated Moving Magnet (MM) phono preamplifier with a finely tuned RIAA curve allows for the direct connection of a turntable, making it incredibly simple to enjoy the unique charm of vinyl. For other sources, balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA line-level inputs offer broad compatibility. The input stage can even be set to a "Bypass Mode," allowing the MD-1P to function as a pure power amplifier within a larger multi-channel home theater system.

Precision Volume & System Integration

Rejecting traditional potentiometers that can degrade over time, the MD-1P employs a 256-step high-precision digitally controlled analog volume system. This ensures perfect phase and volume synchronization between the left and right channels at all levels, preserving the integrity of the soundstage. For unparalleled system flexibility, the MD-1P is equipped with two sets of speaker outputs, switchable via the remote for easy A/B comparisons. Furthermore, dual subwoofer outputs with a 150Hz low-pass filter allow for the seamless integration of two subwoofers, providing smooth and powerful bass reinforcement in any listening room.

A Universe of Connectivity

The MD-1P is designed to be the only source and amplifier you will ever need. Four optical and coaxial inputs accommodate a host of digital devices like gaming consoles and Blu-ray players. An HDMI ARC input allows for high-quality audio transmission from your TV, while a high-resolution USB Audio input connects directly to a computer. For wireless convenience, HD Bluetooth 5.0 with LDAC support is included. Network connectivity is handled by both Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6, ensuring stable, high-speed access to the MA Player OS for Roon, TIDAL Connect, Spotify Connect, and a world of other streaming possibilities.
