Monster® Information

Monster^® MPA 3250 SS Signature Series Three Channel Power Amp Details

Technologically and aesthetically matched to other Monster Power components, these power amplifiers are powerful. Attractive. Reliable. Advanced. And backed by the Monster brand name and reputation--with our hallmark higher-grade components and high-end design. Based on the success of our Home Theatre PowerCenters, the 3250 was constructed to deliver enough dedicated, ultra high performance amplification necessary to reproduce movies and music sound as accurately as the artists intended you to hear it.

Each channel comes equipped with independent power supplies and toroidal transformers for more efficient transmission of power. Large capacitance filter caps provide the kind of reserves needed to prevent power sags and low-frequency clipping when all channels are driven. The advanced circuitry uses Monster's unique "push/pull" technology on the input/output stage to deliver ultra-wide bandwidth performance for best reproduction of high-resolution 192kHz DVD-A and SACD formats. Finally, with dedicated support for three channels, the 3250 can save you money and space, driving the left, right and center channels of your home theater system.

Created in part by Richard Marsh--one of the world's leading designers and developers of high performance consumer electronics--and conceived, designed, tested and used by the Head Monster himself, these units were built by the experts for those who demand the best.

Features:

Monster Mirrored Amplifier Technology™ ensures low distortion, greater clarity even at the highest power levels.
Laboratory-grade digital power meters monitor actual power output and dynamic range.
250 watts per channel, 750 watts total with all channels driven.
400 continuous watts, all channels driven into 4 Ohms, instantaneous peak power all channels driven greater than 300 watts per channel/8 Ohms, 500 watts/4 Ohms.
Balanced complimentary push-pull input stage delivers ultra-wide bandwidth performance for best reproduction of high-resolution 192kHz DVD-A and SACD formats.
High Current MOSFET output transistors for instantaneous current and maximum transient impact.
Separate transformers and power supplies on each channel prevents power sag when all channels driven
On/Off Triggers enable one remote control to operate entire system
Triple shielded extra long Monster PowerLine 400 power cord rack ears for front and rear included.
Embossed plate with The Head Monster, Noel Lee’s signature

Lots of clean Power

10/19/2011 - Posted By mik from Connecticut, USA

Pros

Durable
Clean Sound
Easy To Set Up
Good Power

Cons

Very Sensitive To noise or daisy chained equipment

Best Uses: Home Theater, Larger Rooms, Driving Power Hungry speakers (vintage Infinities) Describe Yourself: Practical, Tech Savvy, Professional, Senior Engineer

Product Review: Plenty of clean power especially for old vintage power hungry speakers such as the Quantum series from the late 70\'s early 80\'s . Although it sounds great I\'ve communicated with others that had amp trip out problems with zero input. I found hookup and daisy chaining of equipment to cause some of the problems. Using the ground terminals to ground equpiment together aliviated some of the problem. There is no service manual per-say seeing this amp is now out of production. I was able to obtain a schematic for this unit but that\'s it.Overall this amp delivers some serious power. I like the individual amp sections. They do not interfere with each other when one is driving hard and the others not. Service & Delivery Comments: No service manual. Extremely heavy at 92lbs. Was this review helpful to you? Yes/No
