Rega Elicit MK5 Stereo Integrated Amplifier

Description

ELICIT MK5

The all new Elicit MK5 stereo integrated amplifier is
designed and built to the highest standard. Housed in our latest custom case to
match the rest of the Rega range, the new MK5 builds on previous Rega designs
by using our multi-award-winning Class A/B power amplifier circuit to deliver a
powerful 105 W per channel into 8 Ω loads (127 W into 6 Ω). Our
engineers have designed a new Rega DAC circuit offering digital connectivity
and greater integration with a variety of other products. We have taken
great care to incorporate a high-quality MM phono stage and the headphone input
has been configured such that the speaker switching is performed by the output
mute relay to avoid obstructing the signal path.

The heart of your music

The new Elicit MK5 calls on decades of electronic design
experience. It is a complex blend of three of our most successful products
which promises to deliver big on sound, power, features and style. The Elicit
MK5 is capable of driving difficult loudspeakers with ease and will integrate
perfectly into any audio system by offering a wide range of connectivity
options. In addition to line, digital, and a high-quality moving magnet (MM)
phono input, you will also find pre-out, Direct in, Record loop functionality
and the high-performance headphone input.

KEY FEATURES

• 105 W
  per channel into 8 Ω

• High
  quality moving magnet phono stage

• 2 x
  Digital inputs – 1 x optical and 1 x Co-Axial

• High
  performance Rega DAC circuit for digital inputs

• 4 Line
  level inputs

• Headphone input

• Direct Input

• Record input

• New
  advanced pre-amplifier

The Elicit MK5 now shares other design features taken
directly from the highly acclaimed Aethos amplifier. You will find
the same discrete FET based pre-amplifier circuit, plus an Alps volume
potentiometer has been introduced to further improve sonic and technical
performance. As you would expect, special attention has been paid to the
selection of key audio components. Discrete circuitry, high-quality relays,
polypropylene capacitors, and Sanken output transistors are used throughout the
design. 

The galvanically/optically isolated digital inputs utilize a
Wolfson S/PDIF receiver IC to provide exceptional detail and clarity from any
connected source. Output is provided by a Wolfson DAC and Rega designed
discrete line-driver circuit. The new Elicit MK5 calls upon decades of
award-winning experience in amplifier and digital circuit design which culminates
in a perfectly engineered balance of reliability, connectivity and above all,
accurate music reproduction.
