Rega Brio MK7 Integrated Amplifier
A New Era for a Rega Classic
The Brio MK7 is the latest generation of Rega’s best-selling integrated amplifier — now more advanced, more refined, and more versatile than ever before. Designed and handmade in England, this compact powerhouse delivers 50 W per channel into 8 O (72 W into 4 O), effortlessly driving even the most demanding loudspeakers. With its all-new circuitry, built-in Rega-designed DAC, and meticulous engineering upgrades, the Brio MK7 sets a new standard for performance in its class.
Handcrafted Performance
Every element of the Brio MK7 has been optimised for sonic excellence. The redesigned PCB layout handles higher specification parts, reducing distortion and improving dynamics. A second raw power supply has been added to further isolate the output stage from the driver stage, line, and phono amplifiers — resulting in improved clarity and control across the frequency range. Premium MUSES operational amplifiers are used throughout the line, DAC, and phono stages for even greater musical precision.
Built-In Rega DAC
For the first time, the Brio incorporates a Rega-designed onboard DAC with two digital inputs, giving you greater flexibility when connecting modern digital sources such as streamers, CD transports, or media players. This ensures that both your analogue and digital music benefit from Rega’s renowned attention to detail.
Refined Moving Magnet Phono Stage
Vinyl lovers will appreciate the Brio MK7’s high-quality moving magnet phono stage. Improved isolation between stages and upgraded op-amps mean your turntable will deliver even more musical detail, warmth, and accuracy.
Intelligent Headphone Output
The front-panel headphone socket is driven directly from the main amplifier stage, but intelligently isolated so it doesn’t interfere with the main signal path. Rega has engineered the switching mechanism to minimise any impact on overall sound quality when headphones are connected.
Advanced Protection and Convenience
The Brio MK7 includes a range of smart features designed to protect both the amplifier and your speakers:
• Auto Standby — Powers down automatically after one hour of inactivity (can be disabled).
• Thermal Cut-Out — Prevents damage if internal temperatures rise too high.
• Short Circuit Protection — Guards against accidental speaker lead shorts without compromising sound quality.
• Elegant, Compact Design
The Brio MK7’s half-width aluminium case is compact yet solid, finished with Rega’s sleek minimalism and subtle curves that nod to past designs. It’s stylish enough for modern living spaces, while its footprint allows it to integrate into almost any hi-fi setup.
