Premiera M1: Powerful class AB power amplifier

The Premiera M1 is a class AB stereo power amplifier that delivers a nominal output power of 260 W per channel, featuring both balanced and unbalanced linear inputs. The design of the Premiera M1 amplifier reflects the understated elegance typical of all Premiera products, yet it is distinguished by its prominent, bright arrow VU indicators that span the entire front panel. This design element imparts a stylish neo-vintage aesthetic that is currently in vogue. Users can adjust the brightness of the indicator backlight and select from three color options: orange, green, or white. Additionally, the amplifier allows for customization of the VU meter’s operational mode, offering standard, sensitive settings for low-volume playback, or the option to completely disable the indicators.

The front panel buttons of the amplifier provide a straightforward and user-friendly control experience, making tasks like software updates easy to perform. When paired with a compatible remote control device, such as the Premiera X1S, users can effortlessly switch the M1 between standby and operational modes, adjust the brightness of the backlight, and choose the desired speakers.

The Premiera M1 features a dual mono circuit architecture, with each amplifier channel equipped with its own dedicated power supply. It offers both balanced and unbalanced linear inputs, allowing users to choose their preferred option via a button located on the front panel.

The Premiera M1 is a timeless dual mono power amplifier that combines a neo-vintage aesthetic with contemporary technology. It offers user-friendly controls, regular software updates, exceptional sound quality, and, crucially, a price point that is difficult for its nearest rivals to surpass.
