The Elipson P1 F is a high end modular preamplifier designed for outstanding sound quality, flexibility and long term performance. Supplied in the F version with both the MPH II phono module and MDAC I digital module included, it offers a complete analogue and digital solution straight out of the box.
In its standard configuration, the P1 offers high quality line level inputs, with the option to expand its capabilities through dedicated slot in modules. The included MPH II module adds RIAA MM and MC phono stage compatibility for turntables, while the MDAC I module provides three digital inputs supporting high resolution audio up to 32 bit / 384 kHz.
This modular design allows the P1 to adapt to changing system requirements over time. Its internal software can also be updated by the user via an easily accessible USB port, helping to keep the preamplifier ready for future developments.
Elegant, understated and beautifully engineered, the P1 has been designed for exceptional transparency, with carefully developed circuitry helping to achieve extremely low background noise and distortion. The result is a highly detailed, open and natural sound, with precise spatial imaging and excellent respect for silence and subtle musical detail.
A clear front panel display provides easy access to the P1’s settings and functions, while the included remote control offers convenient operation from your listening position.
The Elipson P1 range is made in France at Elipson’s Burgundy factory.
