MX-A5000_om_UCTKABGLVF.book Page 1 Thursday, April 4, 2013 5:28 PM2 En Features Features High-quality power amplifier ■ High output/high audio-quality amplifier (150 W x 11 channels) The unit provides an 11-channel power amplifier featuring a three-stage Darlington current feedback circuit, with a power supply that uses the same type of toroidal transformer used in top-level hi-fi audio devices. The gold-plated speaker connectors are also of the highest quality, delivering high-grade sound. ■ Balance and unbalanced connections are supported Balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) input jacks are provided on all channels, and can be selected independently for each channel.Balanced connections minimize the extraneous noise that can arise in the cable connection between the unit and the pre-amplifier, ensuring high-fidelity transmission of the audio signal.Unbalanced connections utilize ground-sensing to achieve fidelity that is close to balanced transmission. ■ Chassis structure that maximizes the potential of the unit's performance The chassis features a special structure that allows the full potential of the high-quality power amplifier’s potential to be revealed.• Symmetrical power amplifier design• Aluminum front panel and side panels• Extremely stable feet utilizing the A.R.T. (Anti-Resonance Technology) Expandable to meet diverse needs ■ Freedom for speaker placement Since power amplifiers of the identical specification are provided for all 11 channels, you use the unit not only for constructing a home theater setup of up to 11 channels but also for multi-room systems or any other speaker configuration to meet your needs. ■ Support for bi-amp connections and multi-speaker playback The unit provides a channel selector function that lets you utilize bi-amp connections or multi-speaker connections without having to connect additional cables from your pre-amplifier. For example, the CH.2 audio input could be output from both the CH.2 and CH.3 speaker outputs to drive a bi-amp configuration for high-quality sound, or the CH.1 (monaural) input could be output from three speakers connected to CH.1 and CH.4 (L/R). ■ Switch the unit's power from your pre-amplifier (trigger function) The unit can switch its own power status in synchronization with power switching operations on another device that supports the trigger function, such as an AV pre-amplifier (TRIGGER IN). The input signal from the TRIGGER IN jack can also be output without change in a cascade connection to switch the power of another device such as a Yamaha subwoofer (THROUGH OUT). In addition, another device can be switched in synchronization when the power of the unit is switched (TRIGGER OUT), allowing you to set up a variety of systems with synchronized power switching.
