The MP500 V2 is a two-channel, Multi-Purpose, DSP amplifier with up to 500 watts of power on tap. In two-channel mode it outputs 130w x 2 @ 8 ohms or 250w x 2 @ 4 ohms and when in bridged mode it can output up to 500w x 1 @ 8 ohms. While MP500 V2 can be used to power nearly any speaker, the selectable onboard DSP presets focus on optimizing performance for use with MartinLogan outdoor speakers and subwoofers, and select MartinLogan Custom Installation speakers and subwoofers. As the perfect match for these products, MP500 V2 is configurable as either a two-channel Stereo, dual Mono, or one-channel bridged Mono amplifier that can even power dual MartinLogan In-Wall subwoofers. The included rack mount ears and connector bracket allow for up to two amplifiers in a 1U rack space, providing up to four high power channels in a single rack space. With 500 watts of available power, flexible inputs, minimal footprint, and selectable DSP presets, MP500 V2 is a powerful and versatile solution that doesn’t take up a lot of space.
As new supported products are released, MP500 V2’s DSP can be easily updated through the USB C port on the front of the amplifier using a PC by following the “Firmware Updates” link above.
Typical euroblock connectors require a screwdriver to hold the wiring in place. Instead, MP500 V2 ships with a toolless Phoenix™ connector that accommodates up to 12ga wiring. This connector uses tension levers to securely hold the speaker wire in a matter of seconds, and without the need for any tools, making installation faster and easier than ever before.
