Rega Brio MK7 Integrated Amplifier
In stock
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, meticulously improved in every aspect. 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.
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, providing ample power to drive the most challenging loudspeakers.
The Brio MK7 now includes a Rega-designed onboard DAC with two digital inputs for greater flexibility with a range of components. The very musical sounding Wolfson WM8742 DAC is incorporated into the circuit. 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.
🔧 Re-laid Circuit
The PCB layout has been fully upgraded to handle higher specifications for all critical parts. A second raw power supply is implemented to isolate the output stage from the driver stage, line, and phono amplifiers—improving signal separation. Higher-spec MUSES operational amplifiers have been used across the line, DAC, and phono amplifier stages.
🎧 Headphone Socket
The Brio MK7 includes an onboard headphone circuit designed to drive standard hi-fi headphones without disrupting the main signal path. Special care has been taken in the switch that disables main speakers when headphones are plugged in.
🕒 Auto Standby
Equipped with auto standby functionality, the unit will automatically enter standby mode after ~1 hour of no signal. This feature can be disabled if desired.
🔥 Thermal Cut-Out
Should the amplifier overheat, the thermal protection system will first mute speaker output and show a warning via the MUTE and input LEDs. If the temperature continues to rise, the unit will shut down automatically to prevent damage.
⚡ Short Circuit Protection
If speaker leads are shorted, the fold-back short circuit protection will safeguard the output stage without affecting sound quality, as the protection circuit is not in the signal path.
