FAQ
Do I need a separate phono preamp if Im using a turntable?No the Brio MK7 includes a builtin MM phono stage, so you can connect a standard movingmagnet turntable directly.Can I connect a digital streamer or CD transport?Yes the onboard DAC accepts coaxial or optical digital input up to 192kHz, so you just need a compatible digital source or streamer.Is it suitable for demanding speakers?With 50W into 8 (72W into 6), BrioMK7 is capable of driving many bookshelf and floorstanding speakers. For very lowsensitivity or very large speakers, check speaker requirements, but for most home listening scenarios it gives sufficient power.
Care & Maintenance
Place the amplifier on a stable, ventilated surface to allow heat dissipation. Keep ventilation clear and avoid stacking other equipment directly on top. For best longevity, power off if not in use for extended periods. Use quality cables for input and speaker connections, and ensure correct speaker impedance to avoid triggering protection circuits.
