THERMAL PROTECTION - Dual variable speed fans on the MP-2800/MP-4000/MP-5000 amplifiers provide adequate cooling. During low level output the fans run at normal speeds. During high output and as heat raises, (exceeding 90°C.), the fans will run at higher speeds to aid the cooling process. If the heatsink temperature exceeds 91°C., the amplifier will mute until the amplifier cools down.
