This Owners Manual applies to both models as they operate in exactly the same way. Where relevant in the following text the term MXI is used to refer to both models. Both MXI amplifiers can accept up to eight line-level input sources, including two tape recorders. Outputs are provided for one pair of loudspeakers. All functions can be operated using the infra-red remote control handset supplied. This remote can also control Myryad CD players, Tuners and DVD players. The MXI2080 and 2150 offer a range of expansion possibilities: - A low-level "Bi-amp" output is provided to feed a Myryad Power Amplifier, allowing bi-amplified drive of suitable loudspeakers (MXA2080 is most suited to the MXI2080, while MXA2150 is most suited to the MXI2150). - Preamplifier and Power Amplifier sections can be split, allowing a variety of systems to be implemented. Either the preamplifier, or the power amplifiers may be used separately – or an audio processor may be connected between them. - The My-Link input/output can be coupled to other Myryad products which can then be remote-controlled via the MXIs infra-red receiver or vice- versa. - When linked via the Smart My-Link® to other compatible Myryad M-Series, MX-Series, Z-Series or Cameo products a number of other features become available which make the system as a whole easier and quicker to operate. INSTALLATION AND SAFETY This amplifier generates a modest amount of heat and thus requires ventilation. Do not place it on a rug or other soft surface into which it could sink, obstructing the air inlets in its underside. Do not allow papers or cloth to obstruct the ventilation grille in the top cover. The amplifier should not be installed in a built-in situation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided CAUTION: TO PREVENT A FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT PERMIT THIS PRODUCT TO BECOME WET. IF LIQUID IS ACCIDENTALLY SPILLED ON IT, IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF ITS POWER AT THE WALL SOCKET AND UNPLUG THE AC POWER CORD. ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR COMPLETE EVAPORATION TO OCCUR BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT AGAIN. IF THE LIQUID IS ANYTHING BUT WATER AND/OR ALCOHOL, A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN SHOULD EXAMINE THE UNIT BEFORE IT IS USED AGAIN Do not remove the cover, or attempt to modify or repair the amplifier yourself. Refer all servicing to a qualified technician. ACCESSORIES Your MXI is supplied complete with the following accessories: - Separate mains power cord to suit country of sale. - Two very short RCA-RCA (phono– phono) interconnect cables to link preamp outputs to power amp inputs. - Myryad Slim System Remote. - Two AAA batteries for handset. - Slim System Remote Owners Manual.

MXI2150 rear panel has a similar layout but in a taller chassis. 1. Power Inlet Before making any connection, check that the mains voltage setting printed on the rear panel is the same as your local mains supply. Plug the female (socket) end of the power cord into the power inlet on the rear of the amplifier. Plug the male (plug) end of the cord into a "live" wall socket or a suitable heavy duty extension cable. UK version: The mains plug is supplied fitted with a 5A fuse. It should only be replaced with a fuse of the same rating (5A) which complies with BS1362. 2. Power Switch Press one side of this rocker switch (the side nearer the edge of the rear panel) to switch the amplifier ON and the other side (towards the speaker terminals) to switch it OFF. When the POWER switch is in the OFF position all power is disconnected from the amplifier. In this condition the amplifier cannot be powered up from the front panel or the remote control. When the POWER switch is in the ON position (and the power cord correctly inserted and plugged into a live wall socket) the amplifier will power up in standby mode (see Front Panel Controls, STANDBY, below). IMPORTANT: Make sure the POWER switch is turned OFF before making or changing any connections to the amplifier. 3. My-Link input/output When the MXI is used in a system with other Myryad products (e.g. MX-Series, M- Series, Cameo or Z-Series), all may be joined together via the My-Link. The My- Link is a communications bus that allows all the linked components to operate together as a system and distributes the remote commands received by any one to each of the others. The simplest function provided by the My-Link bus is that all linked units will switch into or out of standby mode when the MXI is switched into or out of standby – either from the front panel or the remote control. Use a short RCA-to-RCA (phono-to-phono) interconnect cable to connect from the MY- LINK OUT socket on the MXI to the MY- LINK IN socket on the next unit (e.g. CD player). A second cable may then be run from the MY-LINK OUT socket of that unit to the MY-LINK IN socket on the next and so on in daisy-chain fashion. Further compatible Myryad products can be linked in the same way. Inexpensive interconnects may be used as the My-Link bus carries only control signals, not audio, so these cables have no effect on sound quality. Suitable interconnects are supplied with Myryad CD players, Tuners, DVD players and Power Amplifiers. When Myryad products equipped with Smart My-Link® are connected to the MXI via the My-Link, many more powerful system features are available (see SYSTEM OPERATION WITH SMART MY-LINK ®, page 7). 4. Loudspeaker outputs The loudspeaker outputs are capable of driving all loudspeakers with rated impedances in the range 4 Ohms to 16 Ohms. The loudspeaker terminals are high- current binding-posts, coded red or black. The terminals on the left side of the amplifier (viewed from the front) and marked "LEFT POWER AMPLIFIER" should be wired to the left hand loudspeaker. Those on the right, marked "RIGHT POWER AMPLIFIER", should be wired to the right hand loudspeaker. CAUTION: THE RED TERMINALS ARE MARKED WITH A HAZARD SYMBOL TO INDICATE THAT THEY CAN BE LIVE. READ ALL THE LOUDSPEAKER WIRING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT READY-MADE LEADS BE USED WHERE POSSIBLE. For correct stereo imaging it is important that the two loudspeakers are wired "in phase". To ensure correct phasing wire the black (-) terminal on the amplifier to the black or "-" terminal on the loudspeaker. The red (+) terminal on the amplifier should be wired to the red or "+" terminal on the loudspeaker. The loudspeakers should be positioned as recommended by the loudspeaker manufacturer. The two loudspeakers should always be placed at equal distances from the main listening position and usually spaced a similar distance apart. It is generally best to keep the loudspeakers away from room corners and many loudspeakers work best away from all walls. 5. Power Amp Line inputs For normal operation as an integrated amplifier the MXI must have its preamplifier connected though to its power amplifiers. Using one of the short RCA-RCA (phono- phono) interconnect cables supplied, connect the Left Power Amplifiers LINE IN to the socket marked PRE-OUT LEFT. Use the second interconnect between the Right Power Amplifier LINE IN and PRE-OUT RIGHT. The MXIs preamplifier and power amplifier sections may be used separately by removing these two interconnects. 6. Power Amp Line outputs Each Power Amplifiers line output is directly connected to its line input - without buffering. The line output allows power amplifiers to be daisy-chained so that more complex systems may be built.
