The MP Series power amplifiers feature a continuously variable speed fan for optimum cooling. The airflow generated by the fan flows over the copper plated heatsink resulting in efficient heat dissipation, keeping the output devices evenly cooled. The MP Series amplifiers also feature sophisticated protection circuitry. When engaged, the thermal overload protection mutes the input signal when unsafe operating temperatures are detected. The short circuit protection keeps the output devices operating within safe parameters when short circuits are detected and the amplifiers also feature “Soft Start Protection” to protect speakers from unwanted ‘pops’ when power is switched on or off.
The MP Series amplifiers feature the option of binding posts or Speakon™ output connectors. Input connections are made via 1/4” (6.3mm) TRS, balanced phone jacks as well as balanced XLR connectors. Comprehensive front panel LED indicators for performance monitoring include POWER, PROTECT and BRIDGE as well as PEAK level indicators for Channel A and Channel B. The channel gain control knobs and power switch are situated on the front panel for easy access.
