Meitner Pre

Stereo Preamplifier

The Meitner PRE preamplifier is designed with Ed Meitner’s philosophy that an analogue preamp acts as the heart of every music system.

Built on the heritage of the reference EMM Labs preamplifier, the Meitner PRE incorporates a contactless switching system and discrete dual-balanced signal paths.

Its proprietary software-driven analogue volume control ensures zero signal bandwidth degradation over the entire volume range, while its pure class-A power stage can effortlessly drive cables and loads.

With a high-efficiency, low-noise power supply system, the Meitner PRE delivers class-beating performance that will keep you listening to your music collection well beyond curfew.

Their team is committed to designing products that enhance user enjoyment while providing a secure listening experience.

The Meitner PRE exemplifies this with its user-friendly balance control and volume preset system, and by providing DC protection to the rest of the system.

It is this philosophy that has earned them their customers’ continued loyalty.

The Meitner PRE has 3 pairs of stereo analogue inputs:

  • 1 pair balanced (XLR)
  • 2 pairs single-ended (RCA)

along with two pairs of stereo outputs:

  • 1 pair balanced (XLR)
  • 1 pair single-ended (RCA)

Both balanced and single-ended outputs can be utilised at the same time for versatile configurations such as connecting the balanced outputs to the main amplifier and the single-ended outputs to a subwoofer or headphone amplifier.

The Meitner PRE preamplifier upholds the Meitner legacy of being a class-defining value proposition, with its surprising performance and even more surprising price point.

EMM Labs

EMM Labs When Sony needed to transform SACD from an intriguing concept into a sonic reality, they turned to one of the world's leading experts in digital converter design: Ed Meitner. In those early days, Ed's EMM Labs worked hand-in-glove with Sony and Phillips to refine what was possible from the format and to establish the unparalleled sonic purity for which SACD is now known. The company soon developed the first complete multichannel DSD playback system from disc to preamplifier. And quickly became one of the industry's most respected makers of high-resolution audio recording and playback products. These distinctions were achieved by the unique amalgam of talent here—physicists, engineers and music lovers alike—working as a team to create the most faithful music production and reproduction equipment available. And, in fact, possible. Today, EMM Labs converter systems are the de facto DSD reference of the recording industry. Currently, almost every new SACD in production is being made with our DSD converters. And now, EMM Labs is bringing the same peerless level of performance into audiophile homes throughout the world. Their latest products are designed for a wide variety of applications and are, without question, the most sophisticated expression yet of EMM Labs innovation and technology
