  • Page 10: About The Mpa 152 Plus

    About the MPA 152 Plus The MPA 152 Plus is an ENERGY STAR qualified amplifier with an Extron exclusive, highly efficient, advanced Class D amplifier design. It also features patented CDRS (Class D Ripple Suppression) technology that provides a smooth, clean audio waveform and an improvement in signal fidelity over conventional Class D amplifiers. The high efficiency design generates very little heat and allows the amplifier to be fanless and operated in environments with little or no ventilation.
  • Page 11 • UL 2043 plenum rated — The MPA 152 Plus complies with UL 2043 for smoke and heat release for installation within a plenum airspace above a drop ceiling (power supply excluded). Above-the-ceiling placement conceals the amplifier to prevent theft, and is convenient for installing equipment when space inside the room is limited.
