Monolith, the high-end audio brand from Monoprice, announced the addition of two premium eight-channel class D amplifiers, targeted at the most demanding home theater systems with precision audio output. Designed, engineered and assembled in the USA with globally sourced parts, the Monolith 8250X and Monolith 8125X utilize high-end, audiophile grade Hypex NCore amplifier modules that deliver outstanding efficiency and can accurately reproduce the most dynamic soundtracks while articulating all the subtle sonic details found in music.
Monoprice, located in Brea, California, is a leading e-commerce company providing high-quality and affordable electronics and tech products. Maintaining a business philosophy that focuses on the users’ needs, the company strives to bring simplicity, fairness and confidence to consumers and businesses, as a one-stop-shop for most consumer electronics needs.
“We take great pride in our Monolith products, and these new Class-D amplifiers are no exception. Engineered for uncompromising performance and value, our new Monolith amps efficiently deliver powerful and precise audio output across the entire frequency range, regardless of output gain levels. On top of all that, we were able to provide this level of world-class performance at an incredibly competitive price point,” says Hobie Sechrest, Monolith Business Unit Manager, Monoprice.
Beyond their power and performance, these new Monolith amplifiers were engineered to last. Monolith engineers worked with Hypex to create bespoke NCore amplifier modules that feature a heavy-duty heatsink to dissipate heat more effectively for enhanced system endurance. Monolith engineers also chose to mount the balanced XLR inputs directly to the amp’s metal chassis, not the internal circuit board to ensure a firm connection and prevent broken solder joints.
The new Monolith 8250X Class-D amplifier ($2,999.99 MSRP) features Hypex NCore NC502MP modules, rated at 200 Watts/Channel @ 8 Ohms (400 Watts/Channel @ 4 Ohms), soft start turn on, trigger input, and heavy–duty binding posts. The Monolith 8125X Class-D amplifier ($1,999.99) uses Hypex NCore NC502MP modules rated for 100 Watts/Channel into 8 Ohms (175 Watts/Channel into 4 Ohms) with the same level of features.
Both the Monolith 8125 and 8250 Class-D amplifiers from Monoprice are backed by a 5-year replacement warranty.
