TA5302 Owner's Manual
Introduction
Thank you for choosing MTX to help reach the ultimate goal with your vehicle. Adding MTX amplifiers and
matching MTX speakers and subwoofers with StreetWires connections will put you in a better position to
hear, feel, and experience all of the music the artist intended.

Features

1. Prizm EFX – All MTX amplifiers include backlit adjustment controls on the top surface of the product.
Color – The backlit controls offer unlimited colors on the display -- from RED, GREEN, and BLUE to any
color in between.
EFX – You can switch Prizm EFX lighting to "pulsate" with the beat of the music.
2. Xtant Technology Cooling (XTC) – A thermal-regulated turbo-charged intercooler, supplies fan forced cool air
evenly and constantly through tightly packed bonded fins. Fan speed is continuously varying and controlled
by the amplifier's output load, temperature of heatsink, and transformers. Exhaust from the internal heatsink
is strategically positioned to cool transformers to maintain maximum performance at all volumes.
3. Bi-Level Inputs with Smart Engage™ – All MTX amplifiers feature RCA type input connections.
Low Level Input – Source units with an output signal level of 100mV–10V may be used. See "Input
Sensitivity" for proper voltage level setting.
High Level Inputs with Smart Engage™ – All MTX amplifiers allow high level inputs through RCA type
input connections using provided high level adapters. Source units with an output signal level of 100mV–10V
may be used. See "Input Sensitivity" for proper voltage level setting.
Smart-Engage™ Auto-Turn-On - An auto-turn-on circuit is included within the amplifier. A remote turn-
on wire is not necessary when connecting the amplifier's high-level input to a high-powered source unit (car
stereo). The amplifier will automatically turn on when music is received through this type of connection.
4. Input Sensitivity – The Input Sensitivity is used to set the proper input voltage range:
X1 POSITION: 100mV–1V (Typically for RCA Input)
X10 POSITION: 1V–10V (Typically for Speaker Level Input)

    5. Stereo Gain Control – This feature is used to fine-tune the input sensitivity of the amplifier to the source unit’s output level. 6. Variable Hi, 12dB / Low, 24dB Mono @ 40Hz–350Hz Crossover – This control allows the user to choose the exact low pass or high pass frequency range the amplifier will play for the best possible performance.
  • Page 3: Connections

    Connections 1. Bi-Level Inputs (Low/High Level Input) with Smart Engage™ –Both a low and high level signal can be used. Be sure to lay the signal wire away from all power cables and vehicle computers. Use high quality twisted pair interconnect cables to decrease the possibility of radiated noise entering the system.
  • Page 4 Note: When numerous amplifiers are used in the same system, look into using a relay with a separate power wire connected to an alternative power source to take the strain off the source unit. Normal source units can only keep a constant 12 volts to 2 or possibly 3 amps. This wire should also be run on the away from the RCA cables.
  • Page 5 will send the components or separates frequencies from 40Hz to 20kHz and then start to taper down as the frequencies go under 40Hz (12dB/octave roll off). The industry standard for high pass setting crossover point is around 120Hz. When the amp is in HP setting and the X-over point is set to 120Hz, the amp will send the speakers frequencies from 120Hz to 20kHz.
