INTRODUCTION
The Myryad MX Modular Power Amplifier
has been designed to provide a flexible
solution to a wide range of power amplifier
requirements. 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. INSTALLATION AND
SAFETY
This amplifier generates a significant
amount of heat when operating and thus
requires good 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
cabinet unless proper ventilation is
provided. If the amplifier is moved shortly
after operation take care not to touch the
heatsinks, which are accessible from
below, as they may be very hot. The
amplifier is designed for use in moderate
climates.
