Two New Monolith 8-Channel Class-D Home Theater Amps from Monoprice

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.

This simple project provides a convenient method to remotely power audio equipment. Many manufacturers make audio equipment and power products that can be remotely switched with a low DC trigger voltage. With the trigger supply, my entire system can be turned on and off with one low-current switch. This article was originally published in audioXpress, November 2013.
