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.

MAXX-LINK MLX-100 BRIDGING MODULE APPLICATIONS Linking 2 MLX-100s using Master/Slave operations This application illustrates the method of linking 2 MLX-100’s using the Master/Slave features. 1. Connect the full range RCA outputs from the headunit to the MLX-100 #1’s inputs. 2. Connect a single RCA from MLX-100 #1’s MASTER OUT to MLX-100 #2’s SLAVE IN. 3. Swicth MLX-100 #1 into MASTER MODE and MLX-100 #2 in SLAVE MODE. 4. Adjust MLX-100 #2 as follows: - The LOW PASS FILTER should be turned to 250Hz.

TROUBLESHOOTING A SYSTEM The key to finding the problem in a troubled sound system is to isolate parts of that system in a logical fashion to track down the fault. Description of the Diagnostic system built into the MLX-100 Maxx-Link Bridging Module: 1. Clipping Indicator: Red Illumination when signal is clipped. 2. Normal Operation: Green Illumination, when signal is unclipped up to 9volts.
