TAG McLaren Audio's five-channel
amplifier can be equipped with one, two,
three, four or all five channels of
amplification, making it suitable for a stereo
set-up or complete home cinema system.
The 100x5R is fully remote controlled and
can be expanded into a multi-room set-up
using the TAGtronic Communications Bus.
topology
The 100x5R consists of five identical
power amplifier modules in a single
compact enclosure. Each module is a
complete self contained amplifier, including
its own power transformer, bridge rectifier,
energy storage capacitors and amplification
stage, requiring only mains supply and
control signals for functioning. Control
signals are required to switch each amplifier
module individually on/off and to protect
it in case an error condition, such as a short
circuit to the loudspeaker, is detected. Each
module uses its own custom designed
aluminium heatsink for excellent heat
dissipation, allowing each module to drive
even more critical loudspeakers safely and
totally independently from any of the other
modules.This results in uncompromised
sound quality with perfect channel
separation. For added convenience the
100x5R is fully remote controlled, even
allowing the user to shut down specific
channels, for example when listening to
two channel stereo.The remote control also
allows the user to adjust the volume of the
TAG McLaren AV32R av processor and to
run the DVD32R dvd player.
massive power resources
The 100x5R power output of 100 watts
into 8 ohms is a conservative rating as the
100x5R will typically deliver 120 watts
into 8 ohms, 160 watts into 4 ohms and
will drive 190 watts into 2 ohms for short
durations. As a result of the 100x5R's self-
contained amplifier module construction,
this performance is independant of the
number of channels being driven and thus
even during the loudest passages of your
favourite movie the soundstage remains
stable, controlled and detailed.
audiophile quality for movie lovers
The 100x5R provides five channels of
amplification at audiophile quality. Sound is
not compromised if used as a 2 channel
stereo amplifier or as a five channel
surround sound system. Finally home
cinema requirements and audiophile
qualities have met.
premium-grade audio components
All components have been carefully
selected and auditioned before a decision
about their use in the 100x5R was made.
For maximum performance ultra-stable
Vishay metal film resistors and low-
dielectric loss Wima polypropylene
capacitors have been selected, providing the
increased transparency and excellent noise
suppression which audiophiles attribute to
these components.
mixed technology construction
With surface mount components for
fast digital signal transfer and leaded
through-hole components for perfect audio
signals, the 100x5R incorporates mixed
technology construction to optimise
performance.The result is uncompromised
sound at a small size.
