Electrocompaniet EMC-1 MKV

ELECTROCOMPANIET EMC 1 MKV – REFERENCE CD PLAYER WITH OUTSTANDING PRECISION AND UPDATED DESIGN

The Electrocompaniet EMC 1 MKV continues the legacy of one of the market's most acclaimed CD players. Since the introduction of the EMC 1 UP in 1998, Electrocompaniet has stood for uncompromising digital sound quality, and the MKV version builds on this tradition with a new drive, upgraded electronics and improved mechanical stability.

With a newly developed chassis concept and fully balanced, discrete analog circuitry, the EMC 1 MKV delivers one of the most lifelike and musical reproductions you can get from the classic CD format. The unit is designed to match the latest MKII series visually and technologically, making it the perfect choice for audiophiles who want the best of both worlds: analog warmth and digital precision.

TOPLOADING WITH MECHANICAL VIBRATION DAMPING

The EMC 1 MKV uses a top-loading mechanism with an integrated mechanical filter that minimizes vibrations and prevents interference with the laser reading. The result is a quiet and extremely precise reproduction of even the most complex recordings, preserving every nuance with great accuracy.

BALANCED CONVERSION FOR NATURAL SOUND

Featuring a 24-bit/192kHz D/A converter in a truly balanced design, the EMC 1 MKV combines digital precision with analog musicality. The discrete signal processing ensures sound reproduction with depth, warmth and excellent detail. The balanced design improves channel separation and reduces noise, providing a cleaner and more dynamic listening experience.

SHIELDED MULTI-SECTION DESIGN

The EMC 1 MKV's construction consists of five separate internal sections that isolate the power supply, digital circuitry, analog signal path, controller, and drive. This separation protects sound quality and ensures minimal mutual interference, so that each component operates under optimal conditions.

QUALITY IN THE DETAILS

SuperSpikes™ from SOUNDCARE® are an essential part of the player's performance. The integrated feet reduce the transfer of unwanted vibrations while preserving the surfaces underneath the unit. Together with the power-saving standby function and professional control options (RS232 and 12V trigger), the EMC 1 MKV is made for both home and studio use.

AESTHETICS AND PERFORMANCE COMBINED

The design is updated in line with Electrocompaniet's newer MKII products, delivering both technical and visual synergy. Weighing in at 18kg and with a precision-crafted packaging, the EMC 1 MKV is built to deliver uncompromising sound quality and elegance in any high-end setup.
