PREi

The PREi is EMM Labs’ most advanced analog preamplifier, following the Meitner PA6i, the multi-award-winning PRE2 and the flagship EMM Labs Pre. Fully discrete, dual-balanced signal paths, contactless switching and the software-driven MVControl³ all-analog volume control give it remarkable transparency.

Its Meitner Audio Architecture circuits are designed in-house and powered by the third-generation MXPower³ supply. Custom MCeraTek ceramic circuit boards preserve low-level detail, and proprietary equalization and Class A amplification drive any load without loss.

A large OLED display, touch-panel controls, programmable inputs with three volume presets each, and a machined aluminum remote complete the precision-machined chassis. Designed and manufactured in Canada.
