Lexicon CX-Series Power Amplifier CX-5 & CX-7

Available in seven or five channel versions, the CXamplifiers are designed for systems where the additional output of the LX amplifiers is not warranted. Each 140- Watt channel includes four custom-designed, hand-graded output transistors. All channels are capable of driving speaker impedances down to 2 .

Complemented by gold-plated speaker output connectors, the rear panel includes selectable balanced or unbalanced audio input via XLR and RCA connectors respectively. A trigger input connector allows the CX amplifiers to be controlled by a preamp/processor such as the MC-12 or MC-8. In addition, a ground lift switch for each channel can be used to eliminate audible hum caused by multiple grounding paths.

The CX amplifiers include advanced thermal, current, and DC protection for each channel. Thermal protection monitors the temperature of the chassis and heat sinks and automatically deactivates channels when they exceed their normal safe operating temperature. Current protection ensures that the output transistors are protected by limiting the current capability which is determined by the output voltage, while DC protection prevents DC and frequencies below 10Hz from reaching the speakers.

Dedicated channel status LEDs are located on the front panel to provide at-a-glance viewing of channel status at all times.With THX Ultra2 Certification, the CX amplifiers are certified to meet the highest THX standards. Advanced thermal, current, DC, and speaker protection further guarantee exceptional performance under even the most extreme operating conditions.Add to this incredible power and wide-ranging flexibility, and the CX amplifiers are at home in the most sophisticated and demanding home theaters.
