Welcome.

 

We are delighted that you have decided to purchase a

 

 

product. With your new 

MP 2500 R

 you have acquired a top-

quality  piece  of  equipment  which  has  been  designed  and  developed  with  the  wishes  of  the  audiophile  music  lover  as 
absolute top priority. 

This system represents our very best efforts at designing practical electronic equipment incorporating solid quality, user-
friendly operation and a specification and performance which leaves nothing to be desired. 

All  these  factors  contribute  to  a  piece  of  equipment  which  will  satisfy  your  highest  demands  and  your  most  searching 
requirements for a period of many years. All the components we use meet the German and European safety norms and 
standards which are currently valid. All the materials we use are subject to painstaking quality monitoring. 

At all stages of production we avoid the use of substances which are environmentally unsound or potentially hazardous to 
health, such as chlorine-based cleaning agents and CFCs. 

We also aim to avoid the use of plastics in general, and PVC in particular, in the design of our products. Instead we rely 
upon  metals  and  other  non-hazardous  materials;  metal  components  are  ideal  for  recycling,  and  also  provide  effective 
electrical screening. 

Our robust all-metal cases exclude any possibility of external sources of interference affecting the quality of reproduction. 
From  the  opposite  point  of  view  our  products’  electro-magnetic  radiation  (electro-smog)  is  reduced  to  an  absolute 
minimum by the outstandingly effective screening provided by the metal case. 

 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the faith you have shown in our company by purchasing this pro-
duct, and wish you many hours of enjoyment and sheer listening pleasure with your 

MP 2500 R
