Based on Lexicon's reference quality LX Power Amplifiers, the CX 7 and CX 5 represent a lower output version of their award winning counter parts. The CX amplifiers have THX Ultra2 certification and the same gorgeous industrial design as the other products in the Lexicon line they are a beautiful complement to any home theater. Available with seven or five channels, the CX amplifiers are designed with massive toroidal transformers and several oversized capacitors, allowing them to retain ample power reserves even when all channels aredelivering maximum output. Each channel uses four custom designed, hand graded output transistors to drive 140 watts into 8 ohms. They are compatible with loudspeaker impedances of 2 ohms and above. The CX amplifiers f eatureacon vection cooling system, which results in ultra quiet performance. An extensive protection system also makes them extremely reliable. Thermal protection monitors the temperatures of the chassis, main power transformer, and heat sinks, deactivating chan nels that exceed saf eoperating temperatur es.Current protection limits the quantity of cur rent deliv ered to the output transistors based on the amount of headroom available. DC protection prevents DC and frequen cies belo w10Hz from reaching the loudspeakers. In addition, the CX amplifiers offer protection against electrical and device failures, short cir cuits, wiring faults, and internal errors. To protect themselves and associ ated components, the amplifiers automatically deactivate if these condi tions occur . Dedicated multicolor channel status LEDs on the front panel provide instant notification if dangerous conditions arise. Each channel includes selectable balanced (XLR) or unbalanced (RCA) inputs. Heavy duty, gold plated output connectors allow the CX ampli fiers to accommodate a wide range of loudspeaker connectors, including bare wires, banana plugs, and spade connectors. In addition, a separate ground lift switch is provided for each channel to help eliminate the audible hum that sometimes results from multiple grounding paths. For even greater flexibility, a rear panel trigger input connector provides power control of the amplifiers from compatible associated components such as the MC 12 and MC 8 Digital Controllers. When one of these Lexicon digital controllers is connected, the power status of the digital controller and the CX amplifier can be synchronized for added conven ience . The CX 7 and CX 5 achieve the highest standards of power and per formance, delivering superior reproduction of music and film sound tracks. An impr essivecombination of 140 watt channels, selectable bal anced or unbalanced inputs, and advanced protection features make the CX amplifiers capable of handling all but the most demanding applica tions.
