MR1250vf
12 Channel Power Amplifier Controller wtih Cooling Fan


The MR1250vf is a powerful 600 watt amplifier configured into six stereo amplifiers each rated at 50 watts per channel. The MR1250vf is designed to meet the amplifier needs of custom installed multi-zone systems where high quality sound is a specific requirement.

Each stereo amplifier when used with the VC201 keypad features individual volume, mute, bass, treble and balance controls. Each keypad can turn the amplifier on and off (the RB8 remote control can also when used with the VC201f keypad!). Extras such as an output 12 volt trigger voltage, a DATA port to connect two or more MR1250vf's in larger systems as well as channel link give the MR1250vf exceptional value when installed in homes and large complex systems. Except for the MR1250vf power button, all controls are rear mounted.

Key Features:

  • Six internal 40 position stereo volume controls.The six volume controls each require one to three VC201 keypad(s) or one VC201e or one VC201f infrared keypad. The keypads are typically mounted in the room with the speakers and they control amplifier power on/off, volume up/down and mute


  • Cost and size efficiency.The MR1250vf consists of a total of 12 power amplifiers in one 3-1/2" high enclosure (two rack spaces). Each power amplifier channel can deliver 50 watts RMS with peaks of 100 watts. Because of its unique design the MR1250vf delivers exceptional value.


  • Automatic protection circuitry. Each MR1250vf channel is individually and fully protected against low impedance, overheating, overloading, overvoltage and undervoltage. The protection circuitry automatically restores the amplifier channel as soon as its parameter returns to the safe operating area.


  • Individual bass, treble and balance adjustment. Each channel features adjustments on the rear of the MR1250vf so installers can preset the room for speaker differences and listener preferences.


  • External power on/off. The MR1250vf can turn on and off ancillary equipment with its 12vdc trigger output.


  • Channel link. Channel link allows the installer to link any or all of stereo channels two through six to channel one (left and right) without using Y cords or external adaptors. In certain applications this feature reduces installation time, costs and wire "clutter".


  • MR1250vf with internal fan. The quiet internal fan increases the long-term power output capability of the MR1250vf.


  • Optional rack mount kit. Fits MR1250vf occupying two rack spaces.

    Please note the gold input and output connectors. The DATA jack (bottom row center) allows multiple MR1250vf's to be connected for larger systems.



    Options:

    VC201 keypads control the MR1250vf

    Each of the six stereo amplifiers in the MR1250vf are individually controlled (power on/off, volume up/down and mute) by the VC201. The VC201e adds infrared pass-through. The VC201f keypad has infrared pass through and can also control the MR1250vf with Knoll RB8 infrared remote controls . VC201e and VC201f keypads use the same wiring as the VC201. The VC201, VC201e and VC201f keypads are available in white, ivory (bone) and almond colors.

  • RB8 Knoll infrared remote control. Controls volume, mute and power on each stereo channel.
  • RK1250 rack mount kit for standard 19" rack. Occupies two rack spaces and we strongly recommend blank spaces above and below for maximum power output.
  • VC201 Keypad with six volume level leds, power led, up down and mute buttons on paddle switch. One gang space.
  • VC201e Same as VC201 with internal infrared receiver.
  • VC201f Same as VC201 with internal infrared receiver and RB8 remote control electronics.
