3. NAMES AND FUNCTIONS
MONO POWER AMPLIFIER MA6100
• The MA6100 is a monaural power amplifier developed for
use in hi-fi AV systems.
• It is a high-power power amplifier with all-discrete circuit
configuration with rated outputs of 125 W/8-ohms.
• It is designed with narrow panel area to reduce the instal-
lation area. The width becomes 17-3/8 inches (440 mm)
when 5 units are placed side by side.
• The small space requirement is ideal for use as an exten-
sion amplifier for AV components such as a Dolby Digital
Surround processor.
• It is provided with the MARANTZ remote control capability
so its power can be controlled from a MARANTZ preamplifier or integrated amplifier (MARANTZ remote control compatible products).
• The power of the unit can be switched by remote control
using a video signal or DC signal.
* THX
THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies
established by the world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas' personal desire to make your experience of the film soundtrack,
in both movie theatres and in your home theatre, as faithful
as possible to the master recording.
Before any home theatre component can be THX Ultra
certified, it must pass a rigorous series of quality and
performance tests. Only then can a product feature the
THX Ultra logo, which is your guarantee that the Home
Theatre products you purchase will give you superb performance for many years to come.
Home THX Amplifiers
