Multi-Zone, Multi-Source Switching
The M-800 amplier has six separate ampliers and two separate
preampliers, providing 8 zones of independent yet integrated control.
There are 8 input sources comprising the following:
» Sources 1 – 8 are either Analog Stereo, or Coax Digital
Audio (PCM).
» Sources 7 & 8 are either Coax (PCM) or Optical Digital Audio
(TOSLINK)
Preampliers and Outputs
Each zone has bass, treble, balance and loudness control. These are
accessed from the front panel or Mirage Web Interface program.
A feature called “Maximum Volume limiting”, is useful for protecting
connected speakers. It may be applied to both amplier and
preamplier outputs.
Amplier Power, Protection, and Clipping Indicators
50 Watts RMS per channel into 8 ohm loads. Capable of driving into 4
ohm loads. The ampliers are protected against output shorts, and have
algorithms that prevent hard clipping when the zone ampliers are
overdriven.
Thermal Control
There are two progressive levels of thermal control:
» The amplifier volume is reduced 20dB.
» The amplifiers are shutdown until the temperature reduces
below the first level.
Care should be taken to ensure adequate ventilation – see “Important
safety instructions” on page 2
Ethernet, RS232, USB and IR Control
The M-800 amplier may be controlled and monitored via the rear
Panel USB, RS232 serial interface or Ethernet. In multi-amplier
installations where the ampliers are interconnected using an
expansion bus cable, only one Ethernet or RS232 connection is required
to control the stack of ampliers. An M-800 amplier may receive
IR directly from the front panel receiver. There are zone specic IR
commands and also a set of global IR commands.
The commands are:
» ON
» OFF
» Standby (toggling)
» Mute
» Volume Up
» Volume Down
» Source Selects
» Discrete Audio Source Selects
» On with Source Specific commands
Real Time Clock
The M-800 amplier is equipped with a real time clock. The clock
automatically compensates for daylight saving time if congured to do
so. The clock continues to operate typically > 48 hours without power
(more than enough to keep the time current during lengthy power
outages).
IR Emitter Ports
There are 10 Buffered IR emitter Ports.
Ports 1 – 8 have IR routing, and are intended to control specic input
source components. Two IR ports 9 & 10 are the sum of all IR sources;
these control the “All” zone source components.
