The McCormack MAP-1 (Multi-channel Analog Preamplifier) is a six-channel analog preamplifier designed to preserve the musical integrity of the new high resolution DVD-A and SACD audio formats. Unlike most SSPs, the MAP-1 is an audiophile quality preamplifier that processes the analog-only outputs of these new players without converting to digital and re-converting to analog. The user is able to fully enjoy the remarkable improvements that these new formats offer beyond CD.

The MAP-1 features two six-channel inputs, one six-channel output, one two channel tape-output, and three two-channel inputs. Vinyl playback can be accommodated by the optional phono-card available for the MAP-1 (the same highly regarded phono-stage that is in the McCormack Micro Phono Drive).

The MAP-1 is also a perfect solution for those seeking to include a simple home theater in a quality music system. Just combine with one of the many DVD players that offer built-in Dolby Digital processing to enjoy movie surround sound without compromising music playback performance.

The User Interface has been designed for convenient and intuitive operation. A setup mode allows convenient adjustment of the relative levels of the six channels. An ambiance retrieval mode (ARM) can be enabled to generate a center channel output and to extract ambient information for the rear channels when provided with a two-channel source. Of course, the ARM mode can be defeated, for pure two-channel playback. All control functions are accessible from the wireless remote control.
