MZ-100 Four Channel DSP Zone Amplifier
Introduction:
The MZ-100 is a 4 channel audio amplifier capable of delivering up to 25W RMS
per channel. The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) constantly monitors the output
signal and optimizes it for maximum fidelity. The onboard microcontroller
communicates with external control panels and poly-planar source units to make
a complete networked audio solution. The compact, water resistant design
allows for flexible mounting possibilities, and makes it simple to expand the audio
system capabilities on any vessel or land based application
Uses:
To add additional loudspeakers to a current audio system
To provide amplification for a separate audio zone
As a stand-alone system amplifier for any audio source
Features:
Custom Equalization for optimized sound
Digital Signal Optimization eliminates distortion and maximizes output
Waterproof, corrosion resistant enclosure
Connect up to 4 loudspeakers and 2 subwoofers
Supports Intercom feature
Supports wireless and wired remote control
Expandable for multi-zone use
Includes optional rotary volume knob

- Page 5 The MZ100 DSP Amp has the unique ability to accomplish this across the full audio spectrum. The chart below shows settings for the broad range of Poly Planar Speakers in Marine and Spa applications. Adding a Subwoofer will further enhance your audio experience.
- Page 6 Connecting the MZ-100 Input (Fixed Gain): For operation without the optional external volume control, connect the amplifier inputs to the VARIABLE LINE OUT of your receiver using shielded RCA patch cables. In this case the amplifier volume will be determined by the volume setting of the source component.
- Page 7 The MZ-100 can be controlled by the RD-44 control panel. Using an extension cable (not shown) the panel can be up to 60 feet away from the amplifier. Plug the RD-44 or its extension cable into the CONTROL PANEL plug on the MZ-100. Be sure to tighten the waterproof connectors.
- Page 8 12V (Red wire). Connecting the MZ-100 to a multi-zone audio system: The MZ-100 is designed to be used in a multi-zone audio system. When combined with the MRD-70 CD/MP3 radio, RD-44 control panel and the RT-20 router, up to 4 independent zones can share sources and have communication through the RD-44’s intercom.
