introduction
Experts have known for many years that
precision, clarity, stereo image and depth
can be significantly improved by using so
called monoblocs or single channel ampli-
fiers. These constructions provide
completely independent amplification for
each channel which prevents interaction
between them, resulting in a cleaner signal
and hence better clarity and stereo
imaging. This is true with
two channels and
even more with
multi channel
amplifiers!
The TAG
McLaren three
channel amplifier
250x3R includes
three completely
independent amplifiers, one
for each channel.
They only share the remote and protection
control circuitry, located on a separate
printed circuit board. This circuitry is
powered individually by a tiny transformer
Thank you for purchasing the TAG McLaren
three channel amplifier 250x3R
Its IHF tone burst performance is also impressive:
typically 300 W into 8
Ω
, 550 W into 4
Ω
and 1000 (!) W into 2
Ω
.
The 250x3R’s operating software can be
upgraded using a PC and the TAGtronic
Programming Cable with new software
being distributed via TAG McLaren’s website

. Amplifier modules can
also be upgraded should better amplifier
technology become available in the future.
and local power supply (as it isn’t
responsible for any sound performance),
allowing the 250x3R to be put into standby
without incurring a high energy bill.
The remote control circuitry acts on
commands received from either the user via
the IR remote control or the AV32R via the
TAGtronic Communication Bus.
Channels can individually be
switched on/off for best
sound quality and
most efficient energy
usage.
The protection
control circuitry
monitors the
performance of each
module against programmed
parameters in order to power
down a channel should a fault occur.
The 250x3R can be equipped with two
(250x3R/2) or three amplifier modules,
making it suitable for a stereo set-up or as
part of a complete home cinema system.
The 250x3R is a fully remote controlled,
very high power, hi-performance amplifier
which delivers sound reproduction of out-
standing clarity and purity for up to three
channels.
The 250x3R can be factory assembled with
two or three channels. Retrospective upgrade
from two to three is possible without losing or
compromising quality.
The 250x3R achieves typically 255 W per
channel into 8
Ω
and 400 W into 4
Ω
