As a two-channel unit it can be partnered with the Myryad MXP2000 stereo preamplifier (or other high quality preamp) to deliver audiophile quality stereo. In multi-channel form it can be used to provide power for high quality Home Cinema or music surround systems when partnered by a suitable surround preamplifier-processor such as Myryads MXD6000. It can also be used in install situations as a high-quality multi-channel distribution amplifier. All this is delivered with an unparalleled combination of high quality sound reproduction and simple yet elegant styling The MX Modular Power Amplifier can be fitted with up to seven amplifier modules each of which can be either a single channel rated at 150W/8W output, or a two channel module rated at 2 x 80W/8W - resulting in a maximum of 7 channels of 150W or 14 channels of 80W, or various combinations in between. A table indicating the model number for each combination can be found on page 7. Additional amplifier modules, up to the maximum of seven, can be fitted into the MX power amplifier, or existing modules can be exchanged for the alternative type, at any time. Modules must only be fitted or exchanged by qualified service personnel. Consult your Myryad dealer for details. Each amplifier channel (80W and 150W) has a line input plus a directly linked line output both on high-quality gold-plated RCA phono sockets and a loudspeaker output on a pair of solid metal gold-plated 5-way binding posts. The MX Modular PA may be controlled remotely via the My-Link communications bus when used with other Myryad products. My-Link allows remote control of standby and mute functions. In addition to this, the MX Modular PA may be switched into or out of standby remotely using its DC trigger input. Applications of the MX Modular Power Amplifier include: · Use in conjunction with the MXP2000 Stereo Preamplifier in a high quality stereo system · Use in conjunction with the MXD6000 Digital Preamplifier-Processor, delivering up to seven channels at 150W (or 80W) in Home Cinema systems of the highest quality. · Use in a multi-room setup, possibly together with other MX Modular PAs, to deliver high-power high-quality audio to a number of different rooms with minimal crosstalk between channels. · Various bi-amplifier or tri-amplifier configurations at 80W or 150W.
