Description: The MX855 is a member of the long line of Knoll multi-
channel amplifiers. Designed primarily for the custom install industry, it
is used to power speakers with different or similar sources in multiple
rooms. With 8 channels rated at 55 watts per channels at 8 Ω, the

Key Features:
1. Size efficiency. The MX855 consists of a total of 8 power
amplifiers in one 3-1/2” high enclosure. Each power amplifier
channel can deliver 55 watts RMS into an 8-Ω load.
amplifiers in one 3-1/2” high enclosure. Each power amplifier
channel can deliver 55 watts RMS into an 8-Ω load.
2. Automatic protection circuitry. Each MX855 channel is
individually and fully protected against low impedance,
overheating, overloading, over voltage and under voltage. The
protection circuitry automatically restores the amplifier channel
individually and fully protected against low impedance,
overheating, overloading, over voltage and under voltage. The
protection circuitry automatically restores the amplifier channel
as soon as its parameter returns to the safe operating area.
3. Individual input gain adjustment. Each channel features
an input gain adjustment pot to adjust each channel for gain
and speaker sensitivity variations.

4. External power on/off. The MX855 can be turned off and
on by external controllers via its 12 VDC trigger jack.
5. Stackable 17" chassis. 19” rack ears available.
6. Link Feature. Certain installations require that some or all of
the stereo channels play the same content. Instead of using Y

6. Link Feature. Certain installations require that some or all of
the stereo channels play the same content. Instead of using Y
cords, the Knoll "link" cascades any or all of channels 2-4 to
channel 1 (L/R).
7. Bridgeable. Channel 4 can be bridged giving 180 watts RMS
into an 8 Ω load for use with subwoofers and speakers that need
channel 1 (L/R).

into an 8 Ω load for use with subwoofers and speakers that need
more power.
