MA250

Stereo Amplifier

Installation Instructions v1.0

Warning: To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.

Description: Designed primarily for custom installations, the MA250 is used to power stereo speakers, usually in a single room. Each channel has a gain control. The MA250 can be turned on and off using the front panel power switch, composite video detection, when music is sensed or the 12 VDC trigger. A special feature of the MA250 is that whole house music from another amplifier can be heard on the speakers connected to the MA250. When the local source needs amplifier power the MA250 senses this, disconnects the other amplifier and amplifies the local source. The MA250 amplifier is designed to meet the amplifier needs of custom installed systems where high-quality sound is a specific requirement.

Key Features:

Manual and Automatic Power On and Off. The MA250 stereo power amplifier is designed to be turned on when a video signal is detected, music inputs are sensed, a 12-volt trigger is activated or the front panel power switch is pushed on. Power off is automatic in all modes except the front panel power button.

Whole house music override. In homes, yachts, businesses and motor home applications (typically with plasma or large screen TV's) the MA250 features amplifier inputs so that whole house music system can be heard on the local speakers (without the MA250 turned on). When the local source (TV, dish, etc.) needs amp power, the whole house music switches off automatically and the MA250 amplifier plays the local source. Automatic protection circuitry. Each MA250 channel is individually and fully protected against low impedance, overheating, overloading, overvoltage and undervoltage. The protection circuitry automatically restores the amplifier channel as soon as its parameter returns to the safe operating area. Individual input gain adjustment. Each channel features an input gain adjustment pot to adjust each channel for gain and speaker sensitivity variations. The gain adjustments are on the rear of the MA250 so installers normally set the gain.
