MLS

TM

 settings can be different for each channel, and a variety of combinations can be achieved – see 

table 2.  
Table 2 provides the simplest way to find the best MLS

TM

 settings for your application. There is no risk to 

damage the amplifier since it is very well protected (even down to 0.3 ohms). The fP 6400 amplifier is a 
power converter, and by selecting MLS

TM

 positions you are allocating a portion of the 6400 watts power.

1.  Check if the loudspeaker can take the 

amp’s maximum output power 
(generally, twice the RMS power 
handling should be okay). 

2.  If the loudspeaker can handle the amp’s 

maximum output power, leave MLS at 
its highest position (0dB). 

3.  If the loudspeaker is specified at a 

lower power handling, reduce the 
amp’s output power by changing MLS 
to a matching lower value (-2dB, or      
-4dB, or -5dB). 

4.  Try the setup with a musical signal. If 

the amp runs into thermal protection, or 
into current limiting (audible as 
distortion, or as “clicks” from a cone 
driver/woofer), reduce the amp’s output 
power by changing MLS to a lower 
value. 

 
If you reduce the amp’s output power by choosing lower 
MLS values, you only reduce the maximum output 
voltage. In fact, you will get more current headroom for 
low impedance loads. The amp runs at higher efficiency, 
and the risk for going into thermal protection is 
significantly lower.
