REAR PANEL
CONNECTIONS
1. Power Inlet
Before making any connection, check that
the mains voltage setting printed on the
rear panel is the same as your local mains
supply.
Plug the female (socket) end of the power
cord into the power inlet on the rear of the
amplifier. Plug the male (plug) end of the
cord into a "live" wall socket or a suitable
heavy-duty extension cable.
UK version: The mains plug is supplied
fitted with a 13A fuse. It should only be
replaced with a fuse of the same rating
(13A) which complies with BS1362.
2. Power Switch
Press one side of this rocker switch (the
side nearer the edge of the rear panel) to
switch amplifier ON and the other side
(towards the speaker terminals) to switch it
OFF. When the POWER switch is in the
OFF position all power is disconnected
from the amplifier. In this condition the
amplifier cannot be powered up from the
front panel or the My-Link or remote trigger.
When the POWER switch is in the ON
position (and the power cord correctly
inserted and plugged into a live wall socket)
the amplifier will power up in standby mode
(see FRONT PANEL CONTROLS,
STANDBY, below).
It is recommended that the POWER switch
be turned OFF if the amplifier is not going
to be used for an extended period of time.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the POWER
switch is turned OFF before making or
changing any connections to the amplifier.
3. Smart My-Link®
When the MX power amplifier is used in a
system with other Myryad products (e.g.
MX-Series, M-Series, Cameo or Z-Series)
all may be joined together via the My-Link.
This will allow the different products to be
remotely controlled via the infra-red
receiver on, for example, an MXD6000
Preamplifier-Processor or any Myryad
Preamplifier or Integrated Amplifier.
When joined via the My-Link, the MX power
amplifier will respond to STANDBY and
MUTE operations on the preamplifier
(whether operated from the front panel or
by remote control). For example, if both the
preamplifier and the MX power amplifier are
in STANDBY, then switching the
preamplifier out of standby will also bring
the MX power amplifier out of standby. In
this way an M MX power amplifier
can be operated with the same ease as an
integrated unit. If a number of MX power
amplifiers are being used in a multi-room
system
all
the amplifiers may be My-Linked
so that they can be controlled as one.
Use a short RCA-to-RCA (phono-to-phono)
interconnect cable to connect from the MY-
LINK OUT socket on the integrated or
preamplifier to the MY-LINK IN socket on
the MX power amplifier. A suitable 0.5m
long My-Link cable is supplied with the MX
power amplifier. A second cable can then
run from the MY-LINK OUT socket on the
MX power amplifier to the MY-LINK IN
socket on a third Myryad component (if
desired) and so on – in “daisy-chain”
fashion. Inexpensive interconnects may be
used as the My-Link bus carries only
control signals, not audio, so these cables
have no effect on sound quality.
Please note:
•
Manually switching the MX power
amplifier into standby will not switch
other My-Linked units into standby.
•
When the My-Link is connected it is
recommended that no connection be
made to the REMOTE TRIGGER input
(see below).
•
4. Remote Trigger Control input/output
If the MX power amplifier is being used in a
system without a Myryad preamplifier,
processor or integrated equipped with My-
Link, the REMOTE TRIGGER input may be
used to allow the MX power amplifier to be
remotely switched into or out of STANDBY.
If your preamplifier or processor has a
TRIGGER output which delivers a DC
trigger signal when the unit is switched on
(or out of standby) then it can be linked to
the MX power amplifier to switch that out
of/into standby also. A lead must be used
which is fitted with a 3.5mm mini-jack plug
to connect to the MX power amplifier’s
REMOTE TRIGGER input socket. The lead
must be wired according to the rules below:
