The Nagra MPA is pure Swiss muscle with a studio pedigree—an elegant yet brutally serious power amplifier built to deliver absolute control and transparency. Designed with Nagra’s broadcast and mastering heritage firmly in mind, the MPA combines immense current capability with an almost eerie sense of calm, letting speakers disappear while music expands effortlessly into the room. Sonically, it’s fast, authoritative, and incredibly clean, with rock-solid bass grip, lifelike dynamics, and a natural flow that never feels forced or sterile. Like all great Nagra gear, it’s engineered like a precision instrument and voiced with restraint and confidence. The MPA doesn’t show off—it simply delivers music with scale, realism, and unwavering composure.
*Ships in its original box. Includes the manual, remote, feet for vertical orientation, and both faceplates to convert to either a power amplifier or integrated amplifier.

- Liner Notes
The MPA is a MOSFET Power Amplifier. This solid -state amplifier offers 250 Watts of pure power and is available as either a pure power amplifier or as an integrated version equipped with a remote control and motorized volume control. It employs a power factor correction power supply, making it conform to modern power consumption regulations without any compromise in performance. The MPA remains, since its introduction in 2000, an innovative product based on a specific Nagra design. The MPA stands to convince you that a MOSFET based amplifier can convey the emotion and warmness of tubes, in exactly the same way we proved that digital and analogue were not antagonist concepts when serving musicality.
Power or integrated?
Many of our customers tell us that convenience is every bit as important as audio performance and reliability. In order to suit your needs, we have designed the Nagra MPA to be available in both power and integrated version.
The power version is a stereo power amplifier called MPA, the controls available are ON / OFF / MUTE.
The integrated version called MPA-RCMI offers a preamplifier with four balanced line inputs (on XLR), volume and balance control, all available from the front panel and the remote. The same remote can also control the PL-L and the DAC.
The performance of the RCMI switcher is exemplary due to its simplicity: it was conceived and designed with the MPA at the outset as a part of the system, and offers a truly dynamic and transparent conduit for input sources. As part of the RCMI option, a high precision, illuminated Nagra meter displays power output for critical setup and monitoring.
The RCMI also comes as an option to turn your MPA into a MPA-RCMI. The MPA-RCMI can also be reversed into a MPA. So, whatever your choice in the first place, you can change your options at any time.
Tower or Desktop configuration?
In order to fit in your listening room, the MPA and MPA-RCMI are delivered with all the accessories and tools needed to be configured either in a vertical or horizontal position.
- Packing
- We'll deliver this piece in its original factory box, so you can be sure it will be protected just as Nagra intended.
- Shipping
