Welcome.
We are delighted that you have decided to purchase a product. With your new MP 1000 E you have acquired a top-
quality piece of equipment which has been designed and developed with the wishes of the audiophile music lover as
absolute top priority.
This system represents our very best efforts at designing practical electronic equipment incorporating solid quality, user-
friendly operation and a specification and performance which leaves nothing to be desired.
All these factors contribute to a piece of equipment which will satisfy your highest demands and your most searching
requirements for a period of many years. All the components we use meet the German and European safety norms and
standards which are currently valid. All the materials we use are subject to painstaking quality monitoring.
At all stages of production we avoid the use of substances which are environmentally unsound or potentially hazardous
to health, such as chlorine-based cleaning agents and CFCs.
We also aim to avoid the use of plastics in general, and PVC in particular, in the design of our products. Instead we rely
upon metals and other non-hazardous materials; metal components are ideal for recycling, and also provide effective
electrical screening.
Our robust all-metal cases exclude any possibility of external sources of interference affecting the quality of reproduction.
From the opposite point of view our products’ electro-magnetic radiation (electro-smog) is reduced to an absolute
minimum by the outstandingly effective screening provided by the metal case.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the faith you have shown in our company by purchasing this pro-
duct, and wish you many hours of enjoyment and sheer listening pleasure with your MP 1000 E.

Front panel controls
All the important functions of the MP 1000 E can be operated using the buttons on the front panel. Direct-acting buttons
are provided for fundamental functions such as source select, station change and track select. Functions not needed so
frequently are controlled using the menus which are called up using the / / button.
All information relating to the machine’s state, the current track and the associated transmitting station are displayed on
the integral screen. The following section explains the functions of the buttons on the machine, and the information

Caution!
The mains button is not a mains isolation switch. Even when the LED is
not glowing, some parts of the machine are still connected to mains
voltage (Standby operation).
If you know you will not be using the machine for a long period, we
recommend that you disconnect it from the mains by withdrawing the
mains plugs from the wall socket.

(Headphones)
Socket for stereo headphones with an impedance of at least 32 Ω.

The use of headphones
Continuous listening to programme material via earphones or head-phones at
very high volume can result in permanent hearing loss. You can avoid
damaging your health by not listening via headphones or ear-phones at high
levels for long periods.

USB IN

Socket for a USB memory stick or an external hard disc.
The storage medium can be formatted with the FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, ext2,
ext3 or ext4 file system.

Pre amplifier functions of the MP 1000 E
(Only possible with the optional pre-amplifier module installed)
Using the unit with active
speakers or power amplifiers
The MP 1000 E can also be operated without an integrated amplifier, e.g. using
directly connected active speakers or a power amplifier. For this ‘stand-alone’
mode the machine can be fitted with an optional pre-amplifier module. This
module consists of a fully featured pre-amplifier with volume and tone controls.
The following menu points relating to tone settings are only available if the pre-
amplifier module is fitted.

Continuous listening to programme material at very high volume can result in
permanent loss of hearing. You can avoid subsequent health problems by
avoiding continuous listening at high volume
Operation with
PA 1000 E

A PA 1000 E amplifier connected to the MP 1000 E by an ELINK cable is
automatically detected by the MP 1000 E and the pre amplifier section will
automatically be bypassed. In this case volume and tone are adjusted on the
PA 1000 E’s pre-amplifier.

channels, e.g. to compensate for non-symmetrical loudspeaker positioning.

The balance can be adjusted in increments of 1,25 dB; the screen always
displays the current value.
The primary purpose of the Balance setting in the Tone menu is to compensate
for inadequacies in the audio mix of the recording currently being played.
Loudness

The MP 1000 E is equipped with an automatic level-dependent volume control
system (LOUDNESS), designed to compensate for the frequency-dependent
sensitivity of the ear at very low volume, caused by the physiology of the human
auditory system.
This set-up option switches the level-dependent volume control on and off.

The MP 1000 E can exploit two different filter types offering different tonal
characters:
LINEAR is the standard setting, which has an extremely linear frequency
response.
The IMPULSE setting delivers an improved impulse response with a
minimal reduced linearity.
Output phase
With particular instruments or voices the human ear is certainly capable of
detecting whether absolute phase is correct or not. However, absolute phase is
not always correctly recorded.
In this menu item the phase of the signal can be changed from normal to
inverse phase and back.

The correction is carried out at the digital level, and has absolutely no adverse
effect on sound quality.
