Pure signal fidelity, thanks to dual-mono design The MC 1600 is designed without compromise. Each channel operates with its own fully symmetrical amplifier section, built with carefully selected components. Precision resistors, high-quality film capacitors and low-noise operational amplifiers guarantee exceptional detail resolution and minimal distortion. Flexibility and precision in configuration Via finely detented DIP switches on the underside of the unit, gain, impedance, capacitance and the subsonic filter can be individually adjusted for each channel – ideal for perfect matching to any cartridge system. Versatile connectivity With symmetrical XLR and classic RCA connections, the MC 1600 can be flexibly integrated into any high-end analogue setup. A separately shielded power supply section ensures absolute silence in the signal path. Further advantages Thanks to its fully balanced signal path, the MC 1600 impresses with excellent low noise, high channel separation and outstandingly natural reproduction – ideal for high-quality MC systems, but also MM-compatible. The MC 1600 is aimed at ambitious vinyl listeners who expect the finest customisability, quality craftsmanship and sonic excellence – all in an elegant, low-resonance housing that perfectly matches the design of current Thorens components. The Thorens MC 1600 is the perfect complement for audiophile turntables and a statement for uncompromising high-end sound – Made in Germany.
