MMP4 Phono Preamp Features High-Performance Components

The Soundsmith MMP4 features an advanced circuit housed in a durable aluminium chassis. It is powered by an external 24-volt DC supply, which reduces electrical interference for clear and noise-free sound. The unit achieves 43 dB of gain, making it ideal for standard MM and high-output MC cartridges. A 47kΩ loading and 100pF capacitance ensure precise compatibility and optimum sound clarity.

This preamp incorporates top-tier, low-noise components, enabling ultra-low distortion. With accurate RIAA equalisation, the MMP4 faithfully reproduces the frequency response of your records, ensuring every playback is as the artist intended.

Compact Design with Premium Craftsmanship

At just 7 inches deep, 4.25 inches wide, and 1.5 inches high, the MMP4 is a space-saving addition to any hi-fi setup. The lightweight build of 0.89 lbs makes it easily portable, while its robust design ensures reliability over years of use.

Uncompromising Audio Fidelity

The MMP4 offers distortion levels as low as 0.004% at 1kHz, ensuring pristine audio reproduction. With a noise floor of -92 dB, it provides a whisper-quiet listening experience, ideal for uncovering the nuances of your vinyl collection. The preamp’s overload capability prevents signal clipping, even at high input levels, further safeguarding audio integrity.

Competitive Performance Against High-End Alternatives

The MMP4 Phono Preamp has been compared favourably to preamps costing significantly more, including models in higher performance tiers. Its ability to deliver comparable or superior sonic results makes it an outstanding value for audiophiles who demand high-quality sound without compromise.

Customisation Options and Global Compatibility

For vinyl enthusiasts with specific requirements, Soundsmith offers custom gain and loading configurations to tailor the MMP4 to your setup. Optional 50-ohm output modifications enable long cable runs without compromising signal quality. With compatibility for 120V US or 230V Euro power supplies, the MMP4 is ready to integrate seamlessly into systems worldwide.

Versatility Across Vinyl Cartridge Types

While optimised for high-output cartridges, the MMP4 also supports medium-output options, making it a versatile choice for various turntable setups. For even higher fidelity, its sibling models—the MMP3 and MCP2—offer additional upgrades for more demanding audiophiles.
