INSTRUCTIONS  FOR  USE

 

Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity A1 FBP (Fully Balanced Preamplifier). 

 

This preamplifier uses our top quality, finely tuned preamplifier circuits to deliver the absolute best in audio 

quality with no listener fatigue. 

The unit also features two fully balanced signal inputs, which allow direct connection to balances sources 

and outputs for the ultimate in dynamic range and low-noise performance. The power supply and associated 

mains transformer are supplied in a separate, matching enclosure to isolate the sensitive preamplifier 

circuits from mains noise and interference 

This results in an astounding improvement in musicality and tonal neutrality and visually pleasing two-box 

setup 

 

The A1 FBP is designed to be partnered with all current and future A1 products, as well as our supercharger

range. The A1 FBP is a perfect preamplifier for the 550K or 750K superchargers, and was designed with this 

in mind. It can be connected to the line level inputs of the Superchargers as a normal preamplifier. This 

combination yields one of the best amplification systems available at any price. 

 

Used properly and carefully, it should give many years of outstanding musical reproduction. 

 

Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush, but be careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they 

may harm the surface finish. 

 

If you have any questions about your audio system, 

Please consult your dealer who is there to help and advise.
