The MP-L201 MK.II is a preamplifier from Vitus Audio, built with a substantial gain figure and comprehensive balanced-and-single-ended connectivity. The MP-L201 MK.II brings Vitus's uncompromising Danish engineering to dedicated line-level signal control.

Key specs that matter

Three balanced XLR inputs and two single-ended inputs are provided, with two balanced and one single-ended output. Gain is a substantial 91.5dBu. Input sensitivity is 8,000mV, with input impedance at 10,000 ohms on both connections. Output impedance is 80 ohms on both connections. Frequency response extends up to an exceptionally wide 800,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds a strong 110dB unweighted, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.01%. At 135 x 435 x 428mm and 21kg, the MP-L201 MK.II represents a substantial preamplifier commitment reflecting Vitus's uncompromising engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean, transparent signal handling reflecting the strong over-110dB signal-to-noise figure, consistent with Vitus's broader uncompromising Danish engineering philosophy.

Pairing

Vitus's own power amplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings for a coherently voiced, entirely Vitus-based system.

Alternatives

Other manufacturers' flagship-tier preamplifiers offer alternatives for buyers wanting to compare features at a similar price point.
