JBL MPX1200 2-Channel Amplifier 800-Watts RMS
JBL MPX1200 2-Channel Amplifier 800-Watts RMS
After decades of creating the best possible loudspeaker components and systems for the professional audio industry, JBL is proud to offer the MPX Series of professional power amplifiers. Night after night, concert after concert, you know you can depend on JBL speakers. Now, with the MPX line, JBL makes it possible to afford the same level of performance and reliability in the rest of your professional sound system. The MPX Series starts with a design platform that has endured years of road use with proven reliability. The patented Grounded Collector® design enhances power transistor cooling by eliminating the need for transistor insulating wafers — the deterioration of which is one of the primary causes of amplifier failure. Starting with this design, we added important performance features, enabling you get the most from your sound system:
Features:
- Oversized heat sinks and extra large high volume fans – keep the MPX amps cool in even the highest ambient temperature environments.
- Low noise design – ensures quiet operation.
- A variety of input connectors – including a versatile removable barrier strip, makes hookup and installation quick, easy, and secure.
- Transducer excursion protection circuitry – keeps speakers working reliably night after night.
- Power levels and high dynamic headroom – match the requirements of your professional JBL loudspeaker system.
