Daniel Hertz M6 

1 MegOhms Preamplifier

The M6 is designed for decades of trouble-
free use. Please care for it as you would a 
rare  musical  instrument.  In  addition  to  a 
new level of performance, the Daniel Hertz 
M6 offers extreme ease of use and harmony 
to  the  eye.  It  is  a  hand  made  work  of  art 
that is practical for daily use.

The Daniel Hertz M6 1 MegOhms Pream-
plifier has one input selector, one volume 
control,  one  power  on/off  switch  and  one 
gain  switch,  normal  and  +12dB.  The  rear 
panel has the following connectors:

1.  RCA  input  connectors  for  three  analog 
stereo inputs.
2. USB (PC link) digital audio input.
3. RCA main outputs, ome pair
4. RCA record outputs, one pair.
5.  RCA  mono  outputs  for  subwoofer  and 
center channel connections.
6. AC power connection. 

Special Features

The  M6  employs  1  MegOhms  buffer 

technology  to  remove  loading  from  all 
source units to obtain the most distortion-
free  performance.  Daniel  Hertz  exclusive 
1 MegOhms technology makes a dramatic 
sonic  improvement  with  normal  audio 
source units  of all kinds. 

Most  preamplifiers  generate  noise 

which  might  not  be  audible  with  normal 
speakers, but is clearly audible with high 
efficiency  speakers  such  as  the  Daniel 
Hertz speakers. The M6 has absolutely no 
audible  noise  when  used  with  an  ultra-
low noise power amplifier like the Daniel 
hertz M6.

The M6 uses new discrete Class A cir-

cuitry for the stereo signal path that pro-
vides exreme sonic purity.

The  M6  uses  the  most  advanced  vol-

ume control in the world. The volume con-
trol can affect the sonic quality as much or 
more than electronic circuitry. The Daniel 
Hertz volume control uses a unique resis-
tive substrate, precious metal contact con-
struction and machined metal parts to pro-
vide  the  most  impressive  specifications, 
sonic transparency, and the best “feel” of 
any volume control.  The most subtle gain 
adjustments  up  to  the  largest  are  made 
with perfect tracking and no diode distor-
tion effect from the wiper materials. 

 
A PC or Mac connected to the M6 sur-

passes the most expensive players on the 
market  for  sonic  quality,  and  offers 
highly desirable
