These two RJ-45 communications ports also support the PHAST™ inter- component communications protocols, greatly simplifying the design and installation of sophisticated home automation systems. They provide two- way communication with the home automation controller as to the amplifier’s current status, ensuring reliable execution of sophisticated turn- on and shutdown macros.

To use these ports, simply daisy chain the various Proceed products to- gether. The modular cable needed for the connection may be purchased from your Proceed dealer. It may also be easily and inexpensively made to length using two modular connectors and the appropriate length (up to 100 feet/30 meters) of flat, eight conductor cable.

Modular cables and connectors are used throughout the world for both tele- communications and computers, and are widely available at low cost. The connectors are crimped on to the ends of the cable such that pin 1 at one end is connected to pin 1 at the other end. Such a “straight-through” con- nection is (counter-intuitively) made by introducing a 180° twist in the cable between the two ends, as shown below.

3REMOTE TURN-ON (“TRIGGER’) JACKS

Two 1⁄8" “mini” jacks above the AC mains receptacle on the rear panel al- lows remote-controlled turn-on (that is, toggling between operate and standby) of the Proceed amplifier. These remote “triggers” will be operated by the presence of 5–12 volts DC, with tip polarity as shown below:

–+

5-12 volts, positive tip polarity

The presence of a suitable DC voltage will cause the amplifier to be fully on; the absence of such a voltage will cause it to enter standby. Your Pro- ceed dealer can help you take advantage of these design features to maxi- mize your system’s versatility.

Since these trigger inputs are wired in parallel, you can go into one and out of the other to facilitate a “daisy-chain” of turn-on triggers (should you have additional products that need to be controlled in this manner).

Special note: if this method of control is used for the amplifier(s), the last mini-jack in the chain must be terminated with a dummy 1⁄8" plug [that is, an empty plug must be inserted into the final 1⁄8" (3.5 mm) jack]. Even if only a single amplifier is controlled in this fashion, the “extra” mini-jack must be terminated.

Five Channel Amplifier specifications

Madrigal Imaging has carved a niche in the audiophile community with its high-performance audio equipment, notably the Five Channel Amplifier. This model is designed to deliver exceptional sound quality that caters to both home theater enthusiasts and dedicated music lovers.

One of the main features of the Madrigal Imaging Five Channel Amplifier is its ability to deliver robust power across all five channels. With an output power rating that typically peaks at 200 watts per channel, it ensures that even the most demanding speakers can be driven effortlessly. This means crystal-clear sound reproduction at various volume levels, making it suitable for both explosive action sequences in movies and subtle details in music.

The amplifier also employs advanced Class A/B operation, which combines the benefits of both Class A and Class B designs to provide optimal efficiency without sacrificing audio fidelity. This technology minimizes crossover distortion, ensuring that sound remains clean and precise, even at high volumes.

Another significant characteristic of this amplifier is its high-current output capability, which allows it to manage dynamic loads effectively. This feature is critical for maintaining audio clarity during complex musical passages, where rapid changes in volume and dynamics occur.

Madrigal Imaging has also integrated proprietary thermal management technologies into the Five Channel Amplifier. This ensures that the device operates within safe temperature limits, even during prolonged use, thereby extending its lifespan and maintaining performance integrity.

Furthermore, the amplifier includes versatile connectivity options, with multiple RCA and balanced XLR inputs, allowing for seamless integration into various audio systems. This flexibility means that users can easily connect the amplifier to their existing audio sources, ranging from CD players to home theater systems.

Lastly, the build quality of the Madrigal Imaging Five Channel Amplifier is exceptional, featuring a robust chassis designed to minimize vibration and enhance durability. This attention to construction not only contributes to the unit's longevity but also aids in preserving sound quality by reducing interference and noise.

In conclusion, the Madrigal Imaging Five Channel Amplifier stands out in the crowded high-end audio market. With its powerful output, advanced technologies, and meticulous construction, it promises an outstanding listening experience for both home theater systems and music playback.
