More power, more control — the Rega sound, fully grown
Rega Elex Product Introduction
The Rega Elex MK4 is the point where Rega’s integrated amplifiers step decisively into serious system territory.
Building on the musical foundation of the Brio, the Elex MK4 delivers more power, greater loudspeaker control and increased system flexibility — while remaining unmistakably Rega in character.
At Authentic High End, the Elex MK4 is often recommended to listeners who love the Rega sound but need more authority and headroom, either because of their room size or their loudspeakers.
Positioning Within Rega
The Elex MK4 sits:
above the Brio MK7,
below the Elicit MK5,
and represents the ideal choice for listeners who want a single-box amplifier that can anchor a serious hi-fi system.
It is designed for:
vinyl-centric systems with digital sources
medium to larger listening rooms
speakers that benefit from higher current and control
long-term system building without moving to separates
Design Philosophy: Power with Musical Discipline
As always, Rega’s priority is musical integrity, not feature accumulation.
The Elex MK4 is built around:
a fully discrete analogue amplification stage
short, carefully routed signal paths
an upgraded power supply for improved drive and stability
The goal is not brute force, but confidence, timing and composure, even when the music becomes demanding.
Integrated DAC: Digital Done the Rega Way
The Elex MK4 includes a built-in DAC with two digital inputs, allowing seamless integration of modern sources such as:
network streamers
CD transports
televisions
The DAC is implemented to support the analogue core — isolated, disciplined and musically voiced — ensuring that digital playback remains coherent and non-fatiguing.
Built-In MM Phono Stage
True to Rega tradition, the Elex MK4 features a high-quality moving-magnet phono stage, derived from Rega’s standalone analogue designs.
It offers:
This makes the Elex MK4 an ideal partner for Rega Planar turntables, enabling a refined vinyl system with minimal external boxes.
Loudspeaker Control & System Authority
Compared to the Brio, the Elex MK4 delivers:
noticeably greater grip in the bass
improved dynamic headroom
more stable performance with demanding loudspeakers
Music feels more relaxed and confident, particularly at realistic listening levels and during complex passages.
Listening Experience
The Rega Elex MK4 sounds:
It retains Rega’s hallmark sense of pace and flow, but adds scale, weight and authority, making it easier to forget about the system and focus on the music.
Build Quality & Everyday Use
The Elex MK4 is designed for real-world ownership:
solid aluminium chassis
clean, understated Rega styling
high-quality controls and remote handset
headphone output for private listening
It is built to be used daily, not treated as a fragile audiophile object.
System Integration
The Elex MK4 integrates effortlessly into high-quality systems:
excellent match with Rega Planar 3, Planar 6 and Planar 8
ideal for mixed analogue and digital setups
suitable for a wide range of loudspeakers
At Authentic High End, the Elex MK4 is often chosen when clients want one amplifier that can comfortably handle everything.
Why We Selected the Elex MK4 at Authentic High End
We selected the Elex MK4 because it represents a perfect balance:
strong musical fundamentals
meaningful increase in power and control
modern connectivity without compromise
It is an amplifier that many listeners settle on for the long term — not because it is flashy, but because it is consistently right.
