MBL - 1611F
A few bits more …… make a crucial difference, distinguishing a conventional D/A converter from the top-grade product from our company – the mbl 1611 F. The days are long gone where 16 bits/44.1 kHz constituted a sound barrier for recording on digital media: Audio DVD and SACD allow a resolution of up to 24 bits at a signal bandwidth which has been doubled in size, thereby offering the kind of unadulterated, pure audio experience which has previously been the exclusive reserve of live events. The sonorous ambience of the bits and bytes is thus transformed onto the acoustic stage of absolute musical reality.
This “F-type” D/A converter pushes the analog performance to higher levels and defining a new standard for sound quality. Designed as a pure 2-channel D/A the “F-type” utilizes an advanced, proprietary multi-bit, DS modulator with integrated noise shaping technology in a closed-loop architecture, ensuring premium sound quality by removing any potential audible artifacts.Realistic sound – Dreamlike vision: As with all MBL components, the mbl 1611 F also encompasses the latest technology in a noble exterior. The highly-aesthetic design synonymous with MBL manifests itself through selected materials, lavishly crafted in our own plant according to rigorous quality controls.
Solid brass pedestals and 24-carat hard gold plating for switches and buttons are merely two of the various components of the beguiling elegance of the D/A converter mbl 1611 F which satisfy the demanding standards of the high-end sector: The MBL standard.
The mbl 1611 F equips you for the new media in the world of sophisticated high-end music reproduction. The multiple award-winning D version of our converter possesses not only an input receiver with 24 bits 96/192 kHz, but the digital filter and the converter itself operate according to the resolution and frequency demanded by the latest standards. Reliable examinations carried out by the AES (Audio Engineering Society) have proven that the human ear possesses a resolution capacity corresponding to a digital grading of approx. 22.5 bits.
Only a consistent data width of 24 bits, as provided by the F version of the mbl 1611, provides you the listener with access to the refined nuances of any musical genre – be it the soft piano-pianissimos from Claude Debussy’s “Clair de Lune”, the splendid subtleties of jazz “blue notes” or the earth-shattering opulence of straussian orchestral movements. Music lovers who, in view of the limited dynamics of older silver discs, had to constantly fear that human voices ring out of a void, for example, can now rest at ease. MBL provides the latest technology for the service of acoustic well-being, secure in the knowledge that every – absolutely every – detail can be rendered audible. Nothing remains concealed from the mbl 1611 F
