The older audiophiles may still be familiar with Rotel's legendary Michi series from 1991 (e.g. the RHC 10 preamplifier and the RHB 10 power amplifier). Now the British high-end forge is bringing this series back to life with the brand new Michi P5 (preamplifier), the Michi S5 (double monoblock stereo power amplifier) and the Michi M8 (monoblock power amplifier).

Over the past three years, every aspect of the Michi P5 has been carefully developed, including the power supply, circuit design and selection of critical components, to ensure the utmost integrity of the audio signal and avoid unwanted interference and distortion.

AKM's 32-bit DACs feed a Class A preamp circuit that ensures detail and the highest musical accuracy. A number of 17 independent voltage regulators support this circuit. They are controlled by two specially developed and factory-built toroidal transformers with smoothing capacitors and a low ESR content in order to supply all critical circuits with a pendulum-free current.

The P5 reflects in every respect more than 55 years of experience in audio design. The tailor-made, in-house production facility ensures that this preamplifier is built to the highest quality standards and proudly bears the Michi logo.

The Michi P5 has MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) technology that allows you to play MQA audio files and streams that provide the sound of the original master recording.


Special features

  • Two AKM Premium 32-bit / 768 kHz digital / analog converters
