Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of your new Jamo Multi-Purpose Amplifi er (MPA-201). It is
backed by state-of-the-art engineering and manufacturing techniques to bring you the best
quality craftsmanship and reliable performance.
The MPA-201 is specifi cally designed for home theatre applications. Because of its ample power
and tw
o-channel capacity (stereo), it can fi t into virtually any surround application. Narrow width
chassis is designed for c
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 amplifi er use for centre channel.
Bridge mode capability allows the use of the two channels connected together to form one high
power amplifi er channel, providing 200 watts into 8 Ohm.

Connection
The Jamo MPA-201 is equipped with gold-plated push button binding posts which will accept
very heavy stripped wire. Ask your local Jamo dealer for advice on the choice of cable.
Connect the loudspeakers to your Jamo MPA-201 as follows:
1. Turn of the MPA-201
2. Carefully remove approx. 3/8" /10 mm of the insulating material
- beware not to damage the conductors!
3. Twist the conductor ends
4. Push the binding posts so the conductors can easily fit into the holes
Note: Make sure that the stripped +
and - wires do not touch each other,
as a short-circuit could damage the
Jamo MPA-201's output section.
Always make sure that:
Your loudspeakers are in correct phase;
The loudspeaker's + terminal is connected to the Jamo MPA-201's + terminal.
The loudspeaker's - terminal is connected to the Jamo MPA-201's - terminal.
Usually, the loudspeaker cable is marked on one wire which is normally used to connect the +
terminals to ensure correct phase.
