Know before you buy
No, the MCX-800MZ is not bridgeable. It is designed to provide eight independent channels of amplification, making it best suited for multizone audio or complex home theater setups rather than high-power mono applications.
No, the MCX-800MZ is a dedicated power amplifier and does not feature an internal digital-to-analog converter. You will need to connect an external preamp, processor, or source component with analog outputs to the XLR or RCA inputs.
The AVSPS technology allows the amplifier to adjust its power delivery dynamically based on the demands of the audio signal. This results in highly efficient operation and consistent, robust power output while maintaining very low distortion levels.
The MCX-800MZ is not rack-mountable. While it features a standard 430mm width, it lacks the necessary mounting ears and chassis design for professional rack installation.
Yes, the amplifier includes trigger input and output ports, allowing it to be powered on or off automatically in sync with your preamplifier or system controller.
Adjustable gain allows you to match the amplifier's sensitivity to your specific source components and speakers. This is particularly useful for balancing volume levels across different zones in a multizone audio system.
