MAXX-LINK MLX-100

UNIVERSAL AMPLIFIER BRIDGING & SYNCHRONIZATION MODULE

The MLX-100 Maxx-Link is a unique problem solving signal processor. The Maxx-Link

allows interconnecting (a.k.a. Linking) of up to five amplifier pairs in Master/Slave

configurations to a single subwoofer or multiple subwoofers. This is an incredible

solution for expanding your system and allowing for linking of non linkable mono block

amplifiers.

MAXX-LINK MLX-100 BRIDGING MODULE FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS

END PANEL CONNECTIONS

MASTER OUT / SLAVE IN: The Master Out sends master signal to another MLX-100.

The Slave In receives a Master signal and all controls are bypassed on the unit. BR-1 REMOTE CONTROL: Using an Rj45 cable, the BR-1 Bass Remote Module plugs directly into the MLX-100 and allows you to adjust the Level from -20dB to 0 dB as well as Normal and Bypass operations. NORMAL: BR-1 is fully adjustable from -20dB to 0dB. BYBASS: BR-1 is set to 0dB fixed regardless of where the dial is set.

LINE INPUT: Accepts unbalanced RCA inputs from 0.2 volts to 9 volts. LINE OUTPUT: The unbalanced RCA outputs are Left and Right Full Range outputs. BRIDGING OUTPUTS: A+/- through E+/- provide signal output to up to 10 linked mono

block amplifiers.

TOP MOUNT CONTROLS

MASTER/ SLAVE MODE: Should be set in Master position when controlling amplifiers

and Slave position when it is being controlled by another MLX-100. LOW PASS FILTER: The Low Pass Filter is fully adjustable from 35Hz to 250Hz at 24dB per Octave. SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS: The MLX-100 has built-in monitoring devices. The light turns RED when the signal is Clipped and Green when it is 9 volts.

OUTPUT LEVEL: Fully adjustable signal output to amplifiers from 1 volt to 9 volts. TEST TONE: Selectable OFF/ON 65Hz Test Tone provides a constant tone for testing

and tuning the output level on the amplifiers. SUBSONIC FILTER: The Subsonic Filter is fully adjustable from 15Hz to 35Hz at 24dB per Octave. INPUT LEVEL: The Input Level (gain) control allows you to match the MLX-100 input sensitivity to the Output Level of the source from 9 volts to 0.2 volts.

PHASE: The Phase Shift is fully adjustable from 0 to 180 degrees. PARAMETRIC BASS EQ:

BOOST: The Bass Boost is fully adjustable from 0dB to 10dB. BANDWIDTH: The Bandwidth is fully adjustable from narrow to wide. FREQUENCY: The Frequency is fully adjustable from 30Hz to 100Hz.
