The MACH is a preamplifier from Audionet, a German manufacturer known for considered digital and analogue electronics engineering, built with an extraordinary bandwidth and low output impedance. The MACH brings Audionet's meticulous engineering to line-stage preamplification.

Key specs that matter

Output impedance is a low 22 ohms on both balanced and single-ended connections. Frequency response spans an extraordinary 0Hz to 2,200,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB - a remarkable bandwidth extending far beyond conventional audible range, among the widest figures found in any preamplifier. Signal-to-noise ratio (unweighted) exceeds 123dB. At 446 x 450 x 215mm, the MACH maintains a substantial preamplifier chassis.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean signal handling reflecting the strong over-123dB signal-to-noise figure, combined with the extraordinary 2.2MHz upper bandwidth figure suggesting uncompromising attention to signal-path integrity.

Pairing

The low 22-ohm output impedance eases compatibility with virtually any downstream power amplifier, and Audionet's own amplifier catalogue offers a natural, brand-coherent pairing.

Alternatives

Audionet's broader electronics catalogue offers alternatives for buyers wanting a different configuration within the same meticulous German engineering philosophy.
