MBL C11 Preamplifier

The internal array of a preamplifier can be a hostile environment to delicate hi-fi input signals. Charged capacitors and resistors, magnetic fields and radio frequencies are breeding grounds to corrupt the purity of an incoming signal. The MBL C11’s first line of defence is a chassis made of thick-plate aluminum – the metal of choice for electrical shielding.

This is followed by an internal cage of sheet steel to provide a second level of protective shielding. Those two layers are fortified by additional screens inside the casework to precisely isolate the subassemblies and eliminate any possible traces of interference. Thank our obsessive product engineers.

On the business end, the Cadenza preamplifier can accept five source feeds and one balanced input jack. There is also an option slot that can offer either an MC phono input stage to fully accommodate those cherished vinyl collections, or another balanced XLR input. The C11 is designed to be the heart of the system, with MBL’s SmartLink bus effortlessly exchanging control signals with other MBL Cadenza Line components. A small add-on module even allows it to communicate with Smart Home control systems to deliver state-of-the-art system management through cutting-edge technology.

"There's no question that the C11 is a great preamp - and a true MBL at that."

Matthias Böde, STEREO
