FAN SWITCH
- The new ML 200 chassis provides a fan on/off switch so that the internal cooling fan can be
switched off for those times when using the amp for low power use in a very quite environment (ex: bedroom
practice, studio recording, quiet church performances). The fan should be in the normal "on" position for any use
other than the most quiet.
POWER AMPLIFIER/SPEAKER OUTPUTS
contains two separate advanced monolithic power amplifi er circuits that are fully protected against overloads, short
circuits and thermal faults. Output is rated at 100 watts per channel into 4 ohms (dual mode), and 200 watts into 8
ohms (bridged mono mode) with excellent overload recovery characteristics. A unique feature of this amplifi er is the
"on silicon" temperature sensor that automatically tracks and adjusts the amplifi er's operating and protection
parameters, a very cool feature that increases product reliability 10-fold over conventional designs. With the Mode
Switch in the dual position, only the dual speaker jacks are active. Speaker Outputs: With the Mode Switch in the
bridged mono position only the bridged mono jack is active. Driving speaker loads below the amplifi ers rated
minimum load (4 ohms each channel in dual mode and 8 ohms in the mono bridged mode) will result in distortion
and possibly intermittent operation as the protection circuits are activated. The amplifi er comes from the factory in
the mono-bridged 200 watt mode.
POWER INPUT
– The ML 200 is shipped from the factory with a standard IEC type power inlet connector and the
appropriate power cable for the market the amplifi er was shipped to. The toroidal power transformer is a
universal input (115/230 volt, 50/60 Hz) with a voltage selector switch located above the inlet connector. Be sure
that this switch is in the correct position (matching your local power system) BEFORE connecting the ML 200 to the
power source. There is an AC mains fuse (with a spare fuse included!) located in the small slide out tray on the IEC
power inlet connector. Always replace with the correct value fuse as indicated on the fuse chart located on the back
of the amplifi er.
CABINET DESIGN
– The three models feature a bottom mounted tilt-back handle that allows the combo to be
used in the upright position or tilted back for personal monitoring. The cabinets are constructed from lightweight, but
sturdy, Baltic-birch plywood material and are designed for comfortable transport and use.
SPEAKER DESIGN
bullet tweeter. All three combos are confi gured to be 8-ohm impedance and these combos come from the factory
set to produce 200 watts from the ML DUAL OUTPUT DESIGN power amp.
CAUTION!
Never set an amplifi er on anything that will tip over or collapse under its weight.
These amplifi ers are capable of producing sound pressure levels that may cause hearing loss.
There are no user serviceable parts inside these units. Always consult a qualifi ed repair facility for service.
