- Notes
-
The Rogers Master Stereo Control Unit was a high-end vacuum tube preamplifier introduced in 1960. This original model, produced from 1960 to 1962, represented Rogers' flagship preamplifier offering during the early 1960s.
Key features included:
- Multiple inputs for phono (MM), tuner, and auxiliary sources
- Comprehensive tone controls
- Designed to pair with Rogers power amplifiers like the Master power amplifier
- It could be powered by the Rogers power amplifier or an optional separate power supply
- Optional plug-in remote balance/volume control available
The Mk 1 was a fully featured preamplifier for its time, offering multiple inputs and tone control options typical of high-end British vacuum tube equipment. It was designed to complement Rogers power amplifiers of the era, such as the Master power amplifier.
In 1962, the Mk 1 was succeeded by the Mk II model. While the Mk II appears to have been a more advanced and fully featured version, specific technical differences between the two models are not entirely clear from available information. One notable enhancement in the Mk II was the inclusion of two tape inputs, a relatively early feature.
The Mk 1 had a shorter production run from 1960 to 1962, while the Mk II remained in production from 1962 to 1969.
