OSD XMAX11 11-Channel Home Theater Amplifier, 3 x 310W and 8 x 135W

Features:

• 3 x 310 Watts and 8 x 135 Watts into 4 Ohms all channels driven, less than 1% distortion.
• Over 2.3KVA toroidal transformer power – almost endless Class AB power ensures more than sufficient power even for the most difficult of speaker loads.
• 3 x 4000uF and 8 x 2000uF of capacitance provides a massive reserve of instantaneous power.
• Perfectly matched timbre – channel to channel - guarantees an identical sound for each speaker. This amp adds nothing but power to the signal for each speaker.
• Frequency response 5Hz – 50KHz; nothing is left out.
• Front panel, dimmable, blue/yellow VU meter indicates power being delivered to speakers.
• Trigger and Auto-on feature means the amplifier can be set to turn on and off automatically.
• Front panel LED status lights for each channel.

The only purpose of a home theater amplifier is to provide sufficient gain to achieve the desired sound levels without adding anything else, such as distortion or coloration. For reference-level home theaters, the level is based on what is achieved in commercial theaters. Commercial theaters have standards that are agreed by the industry and the movie producers, directors, the sound guys and the special effects teams. They all know what these levels are and ‘design’ the sound of the movie with these levels in mind. To replicate the soundtrack of a movie, as the creators intended, requires that reference home theaters can achieve the same levels of power with very low distortion and matching timbre across all channels. The XMAX11 can do this

Power is the most critical part of the design. The amp must be able to power the speakers to the reference levels the creators expect – in the home theater world this is 108dB for the screen speakers and 105dB for the other speakers. With 310 watts for the screen speakers and 135 for the others, these SPL levels are easily achievable without distortion.

Identical timbre and minimum coloration is achieved because each channel of the 11-channel XMAX11 has identical components, capacitors, power supplies, transistors, etc. This ensures that each speaker gets exactly the same sonic signature. This is necessary for a cohesive and immersive experience.
