Elipson - P1 F
The Elipson P1 F stereo hi-fi preamplifier offers remarkable listening fidelity and soundstaging thanks to its high-end, ultra-low-noise components. With a signal-to-noise ratio of 102 dB and harmonic distortion of less than 0.001%, it guarantees detailed, distortion-free acoustic reproduction over a wide bandwidth from 2 Hz to 120 kHz. Versatile and upgradeable, it connects easily to a variety of sources, thanks in particular to its included modules, MDAC I ideal for high-resolution digital files and MPH II for vinyl decks.
Presentation
Equipped with unbalanced (2 double RCA) and balanced (2 XLR) analogue inputs, the P1 can easily be connected to a CD player, a pre-amplified turntable or a network player. Its unbalanced and balanced outputs mean it can be used with any hi-fi amplifier, although it was originally designed to work with the Elipson A2700.
A Sub output is available for direct connection to an active subwoofer to expand your soundstage.
With a signal-to-noise ratio of 102 dB, this preamp offers detailed listening with perfect respect for silences over a bandwidth of 2 Hz to 120 kHz. Harmonic distortion is less than 0.001%, which means that the sound is reproduced with great amplitude.
For maximum flexibility, two additional modules, the MDAC I digital card and the MPH II phono card, are integrated directly into the dedicated spaces on the rear panel of the preamp.
The MDAC I allows better conversion of your digital files, so you can enjoy your high-resolution files.
The MPH II is a phono card that offers a connectivity option for all types of vinyl turntables, so you can fully enjoy your LPs with a wide listening range and perfect reproduction.
A USB socket is also available on the rear panel for installing new drivers to keep your P1 F up to date with new developments.
The P1 F preamp is entirely manufactured in Elipson's Burgundy factories, providing optimum signal transmission to your hi-fi amplifier so you can enjoy high-quality listening without noise or distortion.
