MBL N11
Preamplifier MBL N11
Appearances matter.
It begins with six discreet soft-keys, a crisp, entrancing matte display, and a solid tactile volume knob gracing the lacquered faceplate of the MBL N11 Vorverstärker. Aesthetic heaven? Naturally. But what is beauty without brains?
MBL’s SmartLink 2.0 delivers a system network that synchronizes all Noble Line components connected to the N11 preamplifier. Every command is effortlessly managed by the touch of a key on the display, or a button on the classy backlit remote control with built-in chrome rotary volume ring.
The N11 back panel offers a brawny array of choices, with up to five pairs of XLR jacks, nine gold-plated pairs of RCA jacks, and two sets of output groups. For your vinyl collection, the N11 comes with an optional on-board MC phono module, which can be custom loaded at MBL’s production facilities to impeccably match your turntable, tonearm and cartridge.
