ℹ Product Information
State-of-the-art technology for the Class A preamplifier dedicated to true music lovers
Designed for High-End audio systems, the P-1000 MkII is an innovative Class A preamplifier developed with a new proprietary six-stage ultra-balanced design with relays and ALPS optical encoder volume control. The P-1000 MkII features a design with three independent linear power supplies and 8 stereo inputs: 4 fully balanced XLR and 4 RCA. It also offers numerous advanced functions: Mono/Stereo selection, left/right channel swap, absolute phase swap, Booster technology and excellent left/right balance.
The Deluxe version of the P-1000 MkII is equipped with noise-canceling coils and capacitors on the six output stages, derived from military technologies, secured in place with custom copper clips.
To perfectly reproduce even the oldest recordings, the preamplifier can be set in both Mono and Stereo mode. It also allows for playback of inverted recordings. Absolute phase shift (0°/180°) can be useful when integrating the preamplifier into your system.
The Booster technology of the P-1000 MkII allows you to get the best out of speakers that require additional power, increasing the emission of energy in a very specific range of low frequencies.
The function is completely bypassed in OFF mode.
Easy to use thanks to the color display that clearly and intuitively shows all the functions and allows precise and fast adjustments both through the use of the knob on the front panel and the remote control.
To further improve its performance, the P-1000 MkII can be paired with the external super inductive PSU-1250/1000 power supply and the TUBE-1012/1006 valve stage.
The P-1000 MkII can be equipped with dedicated external units to further improve performance: the Tube 1012 and Tube-1006 – Class A valve stages – and the PSU-1250 and PSU-1000 – external power supplies.

Booster
- The Booster is a feature designed to reproduce the lower range of frequencies with power and control. It works as a custom equalisation, increasing the gain around 50Hz to provide a richer and more full-bodied sound. The 50Hz frequency has been chosen since lower frequencies are more difficult to obtain with small speakers. The Booster provides a richer and more full-bodied sound, for better realism and dynamic. It’s particularly useful in case of speakers that require more energy in the bass frequencies, for night-time listening at lower volumes, or even to achieve a more realistic headroom. The Booster is completely by-passed when set to OFF, applied to 50% when set to 1, applied to 100% when set to 2.
