Rega Brio MK7

Engelska hifi märket Rega började att bygga skivspelare redan 1975 och räknas som en av världens bästa skivspelar tillverkare i sin prisklass. Med massor av ”bäst-i-test” är verkligen Rega en tillverkare att räkna med. Rega fortsätter sin filosofi att tillverka Hifi-produkter av högsta kvalitet och som är pålitliga och ytterst prisvärda. I dag bygger man inte bara skivspelare, tonarmar och pickuper, utan man har breddat till att både bygga högtalare, förstärkare och DAC:ar mm. Rega grundades av Roy Gandys och han är fortfarande med bakom kulisserna.


Rega Brio MK7

Liten trevlig förstärkare, med inbyggd RIAA för MM pickuper samt stöd för dig som vill koppla in en digital ljudkälla.

Viktiga förbättringar har gjorts över hela förstärkarkortet. PCB-layouten har uppgraderats helt för att klara högre specifikationer för alla kritiska delar.
En extra strömförsörjning är konstruerad för att ge ytterligare isolering mellan utgångssteget och drivsteget/linje- och phonoförstärkarna. Detta förbättrar isoleringen mellan hög- och lågnivåsignalstegen hos förstärkaren. Högre specifikation av MUSES förstärkare har använts i linje-, DAC- och phonoförstärkare.
Hörlursförstärkare
Brio MK7 har en inbyggd krets för att driva vanliga hi-fi-hörlurar från den interna förstärkaren. Hörlurskretsen var intelligent designad för att minska
dess påverkan på huvudsignalvägen så att den inte stör den övergripande ljudkvaliteten.

Dessutom finns en strömbrytaren som avaktiverar huvudhögtalarna när uttaget på frontpanelen används.

Rega Brio

The Brio MK7 is a handmade high performance stereo integrated amplifier. The MK7 version of our bestselling amplifier is the most advanced and feature packed Brio ever released. Our team of engineers have completely re-laid the Brio circuit, optimising it for performance and reducing distortion. Housed in a compact, custom half width aluminium case, the Brio MK7 delivers an impressive 50 W per channel into 8Ω and 72 W per channel into 4Ω, which provides ample power to drive the most challenging loudspeakers. The Brio MK7 now includes a Rega designed, on board DAC with two digital inputs for greater flexibility with a range of other components. A new mini system remote (compatible with future products) is supplied to operate the standby function, allowing the unit to be powered on and off via the remote handset.

A masterclass in dynamics

Throughout the design process, the Brio MK7 has been meticulously improved in every aspect. From the quality of materials to the manufacturing process, making the Brio MK7 the most advanced Brio to date. This compact amplifier includes an integrated Rega DAC, standby, auto standby and thermal cut-out, all of which are new features of this latest generation of Brio. Connections extend to three line inputs and, of course, phono with a dedicated moving magnet stage for spinning your latest vinyl. The latter benefits from improved isolation between stages inside the amp and high spec op-amps providing gain for attached cartridges. The Brio circuit is often described as one of the most musically rewarding amplifiers in its class. You can expect even more refinement from the latest generation and equally outstanding performance via the headphone output.



Re-laid circuit

Key improvements have been made across the circuit. The PCB layout has been fully upgraded to handle higher specifications for all critical parts. A second raw power supply is implemented to provide further isolation between output stage and the driver stage/line and phono amplifiers. This improves the isolation between high and low level signal stages of the amplifier. Higher specification MUSES operational amplifiers have been used in the line, DAC and phono amplifier.

Headphone Socket

The Brio MK7 has an onboard circuit to drive standard hi-fi headphones from the internal amplifier. The headphone circuit was intelligently designed to reduce its impact on the main signal path so it doesn’t disrupt the overall sound quality. We have paid special attention to the switch that deactivates the main speakers once the socket on the front panel is used.

Auto standby 

This unit is equipped with auto standby functionality. After approximately 1 hour of no signal being present on the selected input, the unit will automatically enter a standby state. This function can be turned off if required.

Thermal cut-out

If the amplifier reaches a temperature liable to cause internal electronic damage, the thermal protection system will first disable the speaker output, indicated by the MUTE led on the front panel illuminating and the input LED indicator
turning off. If the over-temperature condition continues, the unit will turn itself off.

Short circuit protection

If the speaker leads are shorted, the fold back short circuit protection will protect the output stage from excessive currents. This protection circuit is not placed in the audio signal path and therefore does not affect sound quality.
