Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of your new Jamo Multi-Purpose Amplifi er (MPA-201). It is
backed by state-of-the-art engineering and manufacturing techniques to bring you the best
quality craftsmanship and reliable performance.
The MPA-201 is specifi cally designed for home theatre applications. Because of its ample power
and tw
o-channel capacity (stereo), it can fi t into virtually any surround application. Narrow width
chassis is designed for c
onvenient shelf or system rack mounting in the space of the one stereo
component.
It allows you to use one amplifier as left and right stereo front speakers, second amplifier use as
left and right rear (surround) speakers and third amplifi er use for centre channel.
Bridge mode capability allows the use of the two channels connected together to form one high
power amplifi er channel, providing 200 watts into 8 Ohm.
The MPA-201 is also a subwoofer amplifi
er with adjustable elec
tronic crossover. With switch in
OFF position it becomes full range amplifi er.
The power rating for the Jamo MPA-201 power amplifi er are obtained using fi xed value test
load impedances and high int
ensity sine wave test tones. However, the actual impedance of the
loudspeaker will v
ary with frequency, deviating somewhat from the loudspeaker manufacturer's
nominal impedance rating.
This Jamo amplifi er has been specially designed to drive any modern loudspeaker system with
a rated impedance of 4 Ohms or higher.
