MVXA SERIES
MULTI-AMPLIFIED MONITOR PANEL
2
Enhanced benefits include:
• Compact electronic design achieves 8 or 16 channel audible & visual monitoring in a single rack space!
• Each meter can be individually referenced to Line Level (1Vrms), 25Vrms, 70Vrms, or 100Vrms inputs to
collectively monitor multiple signal types in any combination!
• An internal speaker, headphone jack, line level output, and an external speaker output are available for versatile
audio monitoring of each channel!
• A 12 segment LED meter for each channel provides accurate visual monitoring of all channels simultaneously!
• Green LEDs indicate VU ballistics of -30dB to -2dB, Red LEDs identify when signals peak at 0dB to +3dB
relative to reference level for easy identification of critical signal levels!
Visual Monitoring
The MVXA Series efficiently monitors from -30dBV (line
level reference) to 200Vrms (100Vrms reference). Units
are capable of monitoring any combination of 25V, 70V,
100V, or line level signal inputs (Signal type of each
channel is individually set using adjustable jumpers). All
channels can be visually monitored simultaneously as
each signal has its own twelve segment LED bargraph
that provides 33dB of resolution. The bottom ten LEDs
are green and have VU ballistic response for -30dB
to -2dB. The top two red LEDs have peak response
characteristics for 0dB to +3dB above reference level to
provide easy identification of critical signal levels.
Audio Monitoring
Audio monitoring methods include: An internal
speaker, a headphone jack, a 3 Watt speaker output
for connection to an external speaker, and a line level
output for connection to an amplifier.
Isolation
Both MVXA models feature Atlas Sound's exclusive
CerAmp
TM
technology (patent pending) to isolate noise
from the input channels. Our CerAmp
TM
design utilizes
ceramic capacitors and an op-amp to achieve high input
impedance isolation without transformers to reduce
distortion, hum, and noise.
Mounting Flexibility
The compact design of the MVXA is ideally suited for
shelf, rack, or wall mounting. To facilitate application
flexibility, rack mount brackets may be installed in
three different ways for standard rack or wall mount
applications including single and side-by-side wall
orientation.
