Isolation
Both MVXA models feature Atlas-Soundolier's exclusive
CerAmpTMtechnology (patent pending) to isolate noise from
the input channels. Our CerAmpTMdesign utilizes
ceramic capacitors and an op-amp to achieve high input
impedance isolation without transformers to reduce
distortion
,
hum, and noise.
Mounting Flexibility
The compact design of the MVXA is ideally suited for shelf,
rack, or wall mounting. To facilitate application flexibility,
rack mount brackets may be installed in three different ways
for standard rack or wall mount applications including single
and side-by-side wall orientation.

Visual Monitoring
The MVXA Series efficiently monitors from -30 dBV (line level
reference) to 200Vrms
(100Vrms reference).Units are capable
of monitoring any combination of 25V, 70V, 100V, or line level
signal inputs.
( Signal type of each channel is individually set
using adjustable jumpers.) All channels can be visually
monitored
simultaneously as
each signal has its own twelve segment LED
bargraph that provides 33 dB of resolution. The bottom ten
LEDs are green and have VU ballistic response for -30 dB to 2 dB. The top two red LEDs have peak response characteristics for 0 dB to +3 dB above reference level to provide easy
identification of critical signal levels.
Audio Monitoring
Audio monitoring methods include: an internal speaker, a headphone jack, a 3 watt speaker output for connection to an external
speaker, and a line level output for connection to an amplifier.
Enhanced benefits include:
Compact electronic design achieves 8 or 16 channel
audible & visual monitoring in a single rack space!
Each meter can be individually referenced to Line Level (1Vrms), 25Vrms, 70Vrms, or 100Vrms input to collectively
monitor multiple signal types in any combination
An internal speaker, headphone jack, line level output, and an external speaker output are available for
versatile audio monitoring of each channel
A 12 segment LED meter for each channel provides accurate
visual monitoring of all channels simultaneously
plus...
Green LED's indicate VU ballistics of -30 dB to -2 dB, Red LED's identify when signals peak at 0 dB to +3 dB relative to reference level for
easy identification of critical signal levels
