Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of your new Jamo Multi-Purpose Amplifier (MPA-101). It is
backed by state-of-the-art engineering and manufacturing techniques to bring you the best
quality craftsmanship and reliable performance.
The MPA-101 is specifically designed for home theatre applications. Because of its ample power
and two-channel capacity (stereo), it can fit into virtually any surround application. Narrow width
chassis is designed for convenient shelf or system rack mounting in the space of the one stereo
component.
It allows you to use one amplifier as left and right stereo front speakers, second amplifier use as
left and right rear (surround) speakers and third amplifier use for centre channel.
Bridge mode capability allows the use of the two channels connected together to form one
high power amplifier channel, providing 100 watts into 8 Ohm.
The MPA-101 is also a subwoofer amplifier with adjustable electronic crossover. With switch in
OFF position it becomes full range amplifier.
The power rating for the Jamo MPA-101 power amplifier are obtained using fixed value test
load impedances and high intensity sine wave test tones. However, the actual impedance of the
loudspeaker will vary with frequency, deviating somewhat from the loudspeaker manufacturer's
nominal impedance rating.
This Jamo amplifier has been specially designed to drive any modern loudspeaker system with
a rated impedance of 4 Ohms or higher.
