The mini-i Pro 4 is a compact network streamer with built-in DAC from Matrix Audio, built into a remarkably lightweight chassis with an exceptionally wide bandwidth. The mini-i Pro 4 brings Matrix Audio's considered engineering to a space-efficient streaming digital source format.
Key specs that matter
A built-in DAC handles conversion, with support up to 24-bit/768kHz PCM and DSD 22.4MHz. Frequency response spans an exceptionally wide 20Hz to 90,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output level is 4.4V balanced or 2.2V single-ended. Signal-to-noise ratio is 127dB via XLR or 121dB via RCA, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at 0.00010% via XLR or 0.00020% via RCA. At a remarkably compact 224 x 186 x 53mm and just 1.3kg, the mini-i Pro 4 maintains a space-efficient, lightweight streaming digital source chassis.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean, detailed conversion reflecting the strong over-127dB XLR signal-to-noise figure and near-immeasurable distortion figures, packed into this remarkably compact, lightweight chassis.
Pairing
Matrix Audio's own amplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings within the same broader catalogue.
Alternatives
Matrix Audio's own element M2 offers a more substantial alternative within the same broader streaming catalogue.
