- Key Specs
- Continuous Watts x Channel @ Ohms: 130 Watts x 2 @ 8 Ohms
- Number of Channels: 2 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
- Number of Audio Zones: 1 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)

Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)
- Minimum Frequency Response: 10 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
- Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.03 percent (Measurement of the harmonic sound distortion. The lower the percentage, the cleaner the sound.)

The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
- Amplifier Class: AB (An amplifier's mode of operation, specifically the conditions in which its electrical current flows for the duration of an audio signal, determines its class. Each class has its strengths and weaknesses when it comes to power efficiency, levels of crossover distortion, and overall sound quality.)
- Amplifier Type: Power amplifiers
- Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): 120 decibels (The ratio of the desired signal's strength to the level of background noise. A ratio higher than 1:1, which equates to greater than 0 decibels, indicates more signal than noise.)
- Sensitivity: 1.5 decibels
- Bass Boost: None (Circuitry that boosts the bass response of the amplifier, improving audio reproduction enhancing the sound of low frequencies. Fixed boost means the level of bass response is preset, whereas variable boost allows the user to make adjustments.)
- Audio
- Impedance: 8 (Describes the resistance of an electric signal throughout the system. Devices with low impedance require less power to deliver optimal signals but are more at risk for damage from overloading. Higher impedance requires more power but is more protected from overload damage.)

The MP500 is a 2-channel, Multi-Purpose, DSP amplifier with up to 500 watts of power on tap. In 2-channel mode it outputs 125w x 2 @ 8 ohms or 225w x 2 @ 4 ohms and when in bridged mode it can output up to 500w x 1 @ 8 ohms. While MP500 can be used to power nearly any speaker, the selectable onboard DSP presets focus on optimizing all MartinLogan Outdoor products, such as the MartinLogan Outdoor Foundation System, and Custom Installation subwoofers. MartinLogan engineers also went the extra step to make sure that the MP500 could even drive dual subwoofers! The following MartinLogan subwoofers are supported by the MP500’s “Dual Subwoofer” DSP presets to ensure powerful and reliable operation: Dynamo IW-S, Dynamo IW-O (with or without Back Box), Outdoor Living Subwoofer 8. With this and many other features, the MP500 is one of the most versatile custom installation amplifiers on the market!

The Marantz MM7025 2-Channel Power Amplifier features current feedback circuitry and a high-capacity power supply - the EI-core transformer and ensures distortion-free sonic reproduction of the most complex audio sources, be it dynamic musical peaks or whispered dialog. Measuring less than 14” deep from front panel to rear speaker terminals, this stereo power amp has a sophisticated and elegant industrial design. The chimney-shaped heat sink efficiently processes the heat emitted from each side of the amp and a quiet cooling fan removes the heat from the chassis, cooling the inside. A high-sensitivity temperature sensor IC is used to control the cooling fan's rotation speed to minimize noise. This unit is equipped with a remote power control function. The RCA Remote Control input is connected to the preamp and the output can be connected to other compatible Marantz components; CD player, DVD player, Tuner, etc.

Satisfied customer.
My Denon x3800 receiver can turn off its amp unit so the Rotel 1552 amp powers my Polk r700 tower speakers. The difference in sound quality is amazing. Whether at low volume or high the enjoyment factor is much improved. Amp stays barely warm in use and my receiver no longer gets hot as well. Thank you Best Buy!!!
