Product Information
With its fully balanced design and premium components, the Musical Fidelity M6s PRE is a pre-amp to do justice to your system.
High performance pre-amp
Designed to partner M6 or M8 Musical Fidelity power amps, the Musical Fidelity M6s PRE is a high quality pre-amp with a premium specification. The fully balanced design with Class-A circuitry ensures the signal losses as little quality as possible.
Fully balanced, Class-A design
Featuring balanced input and output sockets and balanced circuitry between them, the M6s PRE delivers studio-grade performance. Making the most of the balanced design, Class-A circuitry, with SMD (Surface Mount Devices) enhances the signal. By using a fully balanced, Class-A design, distortion is cut to an absolute minimum, letting tiny details in the music shine through.
Wide range of inputs
With two XLR balanced and four line level RCA inputs, the M6s PRE handles all your sources. For recorders there’s a line out. Further connectivity highlights include USB-B and phono.
Balanced inputs option
For pro-quality connectivity, the M6s PRE features two, balanced XLR inputs. Connect these to a compatible source (such as a CD player or streamer with XLR outputs) and you get a ‘locked in’ connection, with the ability to run a far longer cable, without a drop off in performance.
Connect your computer via asynchronous USB-B
Another star feature with the M6s PRE is the asynchronous USB interface. This type of USB interface is the best for computer audio as it bypasses your computer’s built-in soundcard and instead utilises the high quality 24-bit DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor) built into the M6s PRE. With the amp effectively controlling the output from your computer, it can deliver audio from your computer to its highest potential.
Built-in MM/MC phono stage
As well as the USB interface and other inputs, the M6s PRE comes with a superior quality MM/MC (Moving Magnet/Moving Coil) phono stage. This improves on the lower models by suiting a wider range of cartridges, including the rarer but higher quality MC type. Whichever type of cartridge you use, the low noise phonostage delivers impressive detail and balance – just like the rest of the amp.
Quality case – in black or silver
Featuring a stylish metal case, the M6s PRE looks as good as it sounds. For the perfect match with your existing system, the case can be had with either a black or silver front panel.

With power to spare and unique engineering techniques, the Musical Fidelity M6s PRX is a power amp with an abundance of ability.
Monobloc, balanced design for sonic purity
Configured as two, independent monoblocs, the M6s PRX separates the left and right circuits for a purer sound. By having separate channels for the right and left signals, you get less interference between the two, giving a purer, less distorted and more spacious sound. As a fully balanced design, you get incredibly low levels of distortion – especially when connected via the XLR balanced inputs.
Class-leading power
With a punchy 230 watts per channel at its disposal, the M6s PRX isn’t troubled by large spaces, inefficient speakers or high volumes. Even at lower volumes, however, that power makes its presence felt. Like driving a car with an oversized engine, the power is always there – even at lower volumes. In the case of the M6s PRX, this means you get a deep, dynamic sound with true bass depth – even at modest listening levels.
Choke-regulated power supply for ‘big speaker’ sound
More usually a feature of valve amps, choke regulation gives the M6s PRX a unique sound. Used by Musical Fidelity since 1987, choke regulated amps dramatically reduces power supply noise and acts as an effective mains filter. The result is sound that’s so much ‘cleaner’ it seems to expand the size of your speakers.
Balanced input option
For pro-quality connectivity, the M6s PRX features balanced XLR inputs. Connect these to a compatible pre-amp (such as the M6s PRE) and you get a ‘locked in’ connection, with the ability to run a far longer cable, without a drop off in performance.
Flexible connectivity
With twin sets of speaker outputs, bi-wiring is easy – even with thicker cable. The line output socket lets you loop sound, making bi-amp and tri-amp systems easy to configure. Two sets of switchable inputs let you switch between systems, such as stereo and AV systems.
Quality case – in black or silver
Featuring a stylish metal case, the M6s PRX looks as good as it sounds. For the perfect match with your existing system, the case can be had with either a black or silver front panel.
For a power amp with punch and precision, the Musical Fidelity M6s PRX is a tough act to beat.
Ideal for using with balanced sources, the Chord Company Clearway X Analogue XLR 1m optimises connectivity, giving your music improved transparency and richer texture.
The ideal upgrade
Hand built in the UK, the Chord Company Clearway X has an impressive heritage that includes a string of award-winners. Evolved over time, this cable has further enhanced insulation and plugs, promoting more musical detail and lower distortion.
Improved by the X factor
Replacing the FEP insulation with high performance XLPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene) improves the performance of this already impressive cable. As used in their high-end Signature XL cable, XLPE outperformed other materials in listening tests. Superior insulation reduces interference, giving a smoother, more natural sound with enhanced detail.
ARAY geometry for high quality shielding
Another reason for the Clearway X’s exceptionally transparent sound quality is the high quality shielding. Featuring Chord Company’s enhanced ARAY geometry, coupled with upgraded conductors over the C-Line model, you get extremely low levels of distortion, letting you hear more of the music’s detail. A clear protective PVC jacket is also applied, which again serves to further reduce any mechanically induced noise.
Top quality ChorAlloy XLR plugs
The ClearwayX Analogue XLR cables are fitted with the latest version of the Chord Company’s XLR plugs. These use the next generation of pin-plating technology – ChorAlloy. This uses a multi-metal plating process to give the optimum combination of conductivity and durability. This means that you get the most musical detail, over the longest period of time possible.
