Product Description
Award-Winning Rega Elex MK4 Integrated Amplifier Excels with Analog and Digital Sources: Features MM Phono Preamplifier, 72Wpc Output, DAC Circuit, Four Line-Level Inputs
The latest iteration of the integrated amplifier that won five consecutive Best Stereo Amplifier of the Year Awards from acclaimed British audio journal What Hi-Fi?, the Rega Elex MK4 aces the fields of audiophile-quality detail, engaging musicality, and smart connectivity. Outputting a convincing 72Wpc into eight ohms, it combines a high-performance DAC circuit for the pair of digital inputs a headphone output to give listeners the flexibility they need.
Adorned with four line-level inputs and a custom-designed case that matches the entire Rega range, Elex MK4 serves as a highly competent command center capable of meeting a wide range of system demands and driving speakers with aplomb. Given Rega’s reputation for producing critically acclaimed turntables, it’s no surprise the on-board moving-magnet phono preamplifier is amazingly quiet and transparent, revealing the tonal textures and thrilling dynamics of vinyl obscured by lesser designs. Rega manages to such performance at a modest price by keeping the construction straightforward, eliminating anything in the signal path that could compromise sonics.
Glance at the specs and you’ll see Rega’s hallmark commitment to removing anything that degrades sound. A multi-stage linear power supply, galvanically isolated supply rails, and polyester and propylene capacitors in the phono section are just a few of the high-end touches found in this 24.25-pound component. They conspire to enable Elex MK4 to reproduce a level of micro-detail and velvety black backgrounds once only found in separates costing more than twice its asking price.
The Elex MK4 is capable of driving difficult loudspeakers with ease and will integrate perfectly into any audio system by offering a wider range of connectivity options. In addition to the line level, digital inputs and a high quality moving magnet phono stage, you will also find Pre-out and Record Out functionality alongside a headphone output. 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.
