MP-I201 Integrated amplifier

The MP-I201 is our most extreme integrated amplifier. As with all Vitus Audio Masterpiece components, this is the pinnacle of our development work where any form of compromise is off the table. When we introduced the groundbreaking MP-S201 stereo power amplifier in 2014, we were asked if it would ever be available as an integrated amplifier. Founder Hans-Ole Vitus’ answer, “Why not?” This kicked off development of a suitable preamplifier for the MP-S201 resulting in this behemoth of an amplifier. We believe it to be the biggest integrated amplifier in the world with performance to match its size and weight.

Description

Why not?

The MP-I201 is our most extreme integrated amplifier. As with all Vitus Audio Masterpiece components, this is the pinnacle of our development work where any form of compromise is off the table.

When we introduced the groundbreaking MP-S201 stereo power amplifier in 2014, we were asked if it would ever be available as an integrated amplifier. Founder Hans-Ole Vitus’ answer, “Why not?” This kicked off development of a suitable preamplifier for the MP-S201 resulting in this behemoth of an amplifier. We believe it to be the biggest integrated amplifier in the world with performance to match its size and weight.

Incredible power, refined listening

The MP-I201 uses the discrete modules found in the MP-L201 with our relay controlled fixed resistor network volume control. The line stage of this amplifier offers five inputs in total. Three XLR and two RCA acommodating any source available with a sensitivity between 2 Vrms and 8 Vrms. And of course, the configuration is true balanced from input to output with RCA inputs converted to true balanced inputs at the first stage of the preamplifier.

The sound from this beast is unlike anything you’ve heard from an integrated amplifier before. Expect to have any preconceptions blown away.

Finishing

The MP-I201 comes in Jet Black or Warm Silver as standard. Titanium Orange, Dark Champagne and Titanium Grey are our most popular unique finishes.
