MBL’s 5011 Noble Preamplifier may sell for half the price of our 6010D Reference model, but it receives one-hundred-percent of the attention to detail, engineering expertise, superior parts selection, and craftsmanship that goes into each and every MBL design.

 

Musically, this translates into remarkably similar levels of detail, air, dimensionality, dynamic range, and the rich tone colors that have made the 6010D the first choice of so many discriminating listeners.

 

Indeed, because our strikingly sculptural Radialstrahler speakers receive so much attention, we sometimes need to remind people that MBL doesn’t only design speaker systems—we design music systems.

 

As with the 6010D, the 5011 features a superbly authoritative power supply, built using the finest available parts. This level of German engineering and attention to detail—call it an obsession—is found in every inch of the 5011’s beautiful, and beautifully crafted chassis. 

Appearance of the mbl 5011 is a clear and practical streamlined design. There are only those controls which are technically absolutely necessary. The volume control is easily recognizable by its size and gold or chrome finish. Inputs and functions are selected using polished full-metal buttons. The digital display on the front panel indicates the exact volume level and combines attractive design with easy fine-tuning. The electronic of this preamplifier are a "delicacy" which satisfies even the highest aspirations. At the rear of the mbl 5011 there are five inputs plus two additional optional inputs to configure the preamplifier to meet your personal requirements. Besides balanced and CD-direct inputs, the selection of optional modules includes various top quality Phono inputs for MM and MC . For smooth integration of a Video Surround Processor into your High End Audio System, our preamplifier already has a processor/bypass input with fixed amplification fitted as standard. The outputs offer the sort of flexibility only known previously with our Reference preamplifier mbl 6010 D. The mbl 5011 has a total of 6 outputs. Besides a "fixed output" - uncontrolled output to connect e. g. recording equipment - this preamplifier has, as a "special treat", two output groups with separate volume and switch-on/off controls equipped with 3 balanced and 3 unbalanced (RCA) outputs. This dream machine fulfills all your requirements and enables optimum utilization in all existing High End systems. The direct connection of the input and output connectors with the printed circuit boards provides extremely short signal paths for purest music reproduction. The input stages are fitted with fantastic 'BIAS' current compensation which enables pure DC coupling and you will be surprised by the control and musical beauty of this special electronic design. 

The MBL sound is very detailed but always natural, with a transparency to the original source, warmth, and drop-dead gorgeous tone colors that make listening to an MBL system the next best thing to occupying the finest seats in the house
