The MD-1 and MD-1P are meticulously crafted power amplifiers by Matrix Audio, redefining home audio setups with an integrated approach. These devices blend a high-quality music streamer and a powerful amplifier into a single compact unit, simplifying traditional Hi-Fi configurations. With just one device and a pair of passive speakers, users can effortlessly build a premium audio system, eliminating the complexity of multiple components and cables. This innovative solution offers a seamless, convenient home audio experience for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

Impressive Power Output for Versatile Listening

Both models deliver outstanding power to drive a variety of speakers. The MD-1 provides 150W per channel at 8 ohms, suitable for most bookshelf and floor-standing speakers. The more powerful MD-1P offers 300W per channel at 8 ohms, handling larger or more demanding speaker setups with ease. Thanks to high-efficiency amplification technology, these amplifiers deliver strong output while maintaining low energy consumption and minimal heat generation. Advanced PWM signal processing technology ensures ultra-low distortion, delivering pure, detailed, and flawless sound quality perfectly catering to the discerning demands of audiophiles.

Dual Speaker Outputs and Lossless Connectivity

The MD-1 and MD-1P feature custom-designed gold-plated solid copper speaker terminals, ensuring low resistance and secure connections that preserve audio fidelity. Notably, the MD-1P includes two pairs of terminals, enabling users to connect two pairs of speakers simultaneously. An IR remote allows easy switching between them for quick A/B comparisons, enhancing the listening experience.

For digital audio, the devices support lossless connections through high-precision digital processing. The dual femtosecond clock architecture, combined with custom clocks and jitter reduction algorithms, provides precise reference signals for standard sample rates like 44.1kHz and 48kHz, resulting in an airy and accurate soundstage.

Advanced Volume Control and Fine-Tuning

The MD-1 and MD-1P are equipped with a 256-step digitally controlled analog preamp volume system, eliminating the degradation issues associated with traditional potentiometers. Volume adjustments from -80dB to +12dB can be made in 0.5dB steps, with sophisticated algorithms ensuring perfect phase synchronization between channels. A 12-step channel balance compensation allows for fine-tuning based on speaker placement or listening environment, ensuring optimal sound quality at all volumes.

Versatile Outputs for Custom Integration

Both models feature preamp and subwoofer outputs with synchronized volume control. The low-frequency outputs below 150Hz allow easy connection to external active subwoofers, with the MD-1P offering dual outputs for larger setups. A trigger interface enables seamless power synchronization with active subwoofers, removing the need for manual power management and enhancing user convenience.

Vinyl Playback and Wide Connectivity

For vinyl enthusiasts, the MD-1 and MD-1P include a dedicated MM cartridge phono preamp with a finely tuned low-noise RIAA curve. Simply connect your turntable to enjoy the rich charm of vinyl records.

The devices also feature XLR balanced and RCA unbalanced line inputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio sources from professional studio gear to home entertainment systems. Bypass mode allows the units to function solely as power amplifiers, making them versatile additions to multi-channel home theater setups.

Internal Storage and Network Sharing

A standout feature is the built-in NVMe SSD slot, located at the bottom of the chassis. Users can install an SSD for internal storage, which is powered by an ultra-low-noise power supply for quiet operation. This setup enables the MD-1 and MD-1P to serve as Network-Attached Storage (NAS), accessible via SMB protocol. Users can effortlessly manage and stream their music library across the same network, turning these devices into central hubs for digital music.

I made short movies with my stuffed animals as a kid, since then I knew from a young age I wanted to be a videographer. My parents always said I had a great eye for video/photo, so I made my job out of it. Now I make professional corporate video's. I love to learn all about new gadgets and electronics that come to the market, that's why I write/edit for "Best Of High End".
