AVENTAGE Separates
AVENTAGE Separates represent the ultimate in home entertainment. Yamaha establishes a new benchmark in performance and innovation with the CX-A5200 preamplifier and MX-A5200 power amplifier.
Perfectly Symmetrical
Precisely planned, circuit-routed, and designed with a symmetrical power amplifier layout, the MX-A5200 achieves optimal channel separation with left and right sides being both physically and electrically isolated. This design allows for an improved signal-to-noise ratio, thus achieving an expansive sound stage and quality output.
Ultimate Performance with BTL
To further enhance power capacity, the MX-A5200 supports a Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) configuration for the front two channels. This allows for quality in both sound fidelity and power to the front speakers.
Power and Presence
The MX-A5200 offers 11 discrete channels of amplification with flexible configuration options, delivering an impressive combination of both high power and quality. Enjoy the flexibility of a multi-zone system or immerse yourself in exhilarating surround sound using any combination of 11 channels.
Effortless Performance
The MX-A5200 utilizes a high-output, large toroidal transformer combined with two specially developed high-capacity block capacitors to deliver massive power with generous headroom. A direct effect of this engineering is a minimized energy loss and quality reproduction of sound sources.
Balanced XLR Connections
The MX-A5200 utilizes balanced connections for all 11 channels, the same type found in professional audio and theater applications. This is to reduce electrical or any external noise. Additionally, the alternative RCA unbalanced connections use a ground sensing transmission method that achieves simple balanced transmission.
Uncompromising Design
The MX-A5200 boasts a specially designed chassis to maximize rigidity and eliminate the effects of vibration produced by the large power supply transformer and heat sinks. It also incorporates a heavy insulator that blocks external vibration, thus improving signal-to-noise ratios for an ultimate theater experience.
Heavy-Duty Bottom Plate
Stabilizing the chassis is key to enhanced performance and sound. The MX-A5200 achieves this by employing a thick bottom plate which acts to steady the entire structure and achieve optimal sound.
Superior Connections
The rear of the MX-A5200 features high-quality, gold-plated terminals that are compatible with Y-plugs (spade connectors) for optimal connections with speakers.
