Device Overview
The Masterpiece Signature Series Portable Amplifier (MPC-4226B) is a portable Bluetooth stereo amplifier which is
the only on the market containing a re-chargeable battery. This design takes advantage of several technologies that
offer a complete portable solution to produce full range, high definition stereo sound at volumes capable of filling
large indoor rooms such as dance halls or small auditoriums. It also serves well in large outdoor areas such as at
tailgate parties, beach / pool parties, cookouts or any other area where small, self-contained Bluetooth speakers will
not suffice.
The amplifier uses two optional audio sources; a USB port for supplying thousands of MP3 or FLAC files, and a
Bluetooth receiver that accepts streaming media input from up to 100’ away with the built-in antenna. Bluetooth
signals can be sourced from Smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc. and play hours of continuous music.
The unique feature of this amplifier that separates it from all others is that it is battery-powered. This feature
provides for up to 12-15 hours of total portable use.
An AC / DC power adapter is included for battery recharging.
Speakers can be connected to amplifier by spring-loaded, bare-wire connector jacks located on the rear of amplifier.
