Rotel Michi Prestige X430 Integrated Amplifier

The Rotel Michi Prestige P430 forms the central interface between the various sources and the power amplifier of a sophisticated hi-fi system. As a fully balanced preamplifier, it is designed for the lowest possible interference in signal processing and connects analog and digital sources with extensive system integration options.

Fully symmetrical signal transmission

The fully symmetrical signal path and separate power supply sections form the basis for low-noise signal processing. The P430 processes analog signals as well as high-resolution digital sources and offers a comprehensive range of features for modern two-channel systems.

The frequency response is 10 Hz to 100 kHz in line mode and 20 Hz to 20 kHz for the phono section. Total harmonic distortion is less than 0.002%, and the signal-to-noise ratio reaches up to 117 dB.

ESS SABRE ES9028PRO DAC

The ESS SABRE ES9028PRO 32-bit/8-channel DAC handles digital signal processing. The P430 processes PCM signals up to 32-bit/384 kHz and DSD256 via its PC USB audio input.

Three coaxial and three optical digital inputs are available for additional digital sources. The digital section is complemented by HDMI ARC for direct connection to a television and Bluetooth with aptX HD and AAC.

Analog sources including MM phono

Classic analog sources can also be fully integrated. In addition to RCA and XLR high-level inputs, the P430 has an integrated MM phono stage, allowing a turntable to be connected directly.

Two subwoofer outputs also allow for the integration of additional low-frequency speakers into the stereo system.

For modern system integration

The P430 is Roon Tested certified and offers RS232 and IP control interfaces for integration into modern control and smart home systems.

Operation is via a high-resolution TFT color display that clearly shows input signals and important operating information. A Michi system remote control is included.

Solid case in Michi Prestige design

With its solid chassis, the P430 adopts the characteristic design language of the Michi Prestige series. The combination of extensive connectivity, fully balanced signal routing, and high-quality digital and analog technology makes it a versatile preamplifier for demanding two-channel systems.
