MULTI-CHANNEL ANALOG PREAMP MAP-1

An Ambiance Retrieval Mode (ARM) can be enabled to generate a center channel output and to extract ambient information for the rear channels when provided with a two-channel source. Of course, ARM can be defeated, for pure two-channel playback

The McCormack MAP-1 is a six-channel analog preamplifier designed to preserve the musical integrity of the new high resolution DVD-A and SACD audio formats. Unlike most SSPs, the MAP-1 is an audiophile quality preamplifier that processes the analog-only outputs of these new players without first converting to digital and re-converting to analog, allowing the user to fully enjoy the remarkable musicality of these new formats.

The MAP-1 is also a perfect solution for those seeking to include a simple home theater in a quality music system. Just combine with one of the many DVD players that offer built-in Dolby Digital processing to enjoy movie surround sound without compromising music playback performance.

The MAP-1 features two sets of multi-channel inputs and three pairs of two-channel inputs. Vinyl playback can be accommodated by the optional phono-card available for the MAP-1 (the same highly regarded phono-stage that is in the McCormack Micro Phono Drive). Stereo recording is accommodated by a two-channel tape output.

The user interface has been designed for convenient and intuitive operation. A setup mode allows convenient adjustment of the relative levels of the six channels. Of course, the MAP-1 has a full function remote control which duplicates all front panel functions.
