ME Power Amplifier Model 200
Do not be misled by the diminutive size of the ME 200. Its incredible performance is typical of larger and very much more expensive amplifiers.
The ME 200 has inherited the technological refinements of its stable mates. As such, it delivers much of the extraordinary sound quality, dynamics, purity and reality, that is the hallmark of all ME amplifiers.
The ME 200 is a very versatile amplifier. It can be:
used singly as a power amplifier
connected to any ME preamplifier connected directly to a CD/DVD player which has built in volume control
bridged with an ME 240 which contains a passive preamp, almost trebling the power to 2 x 220 watts
connected with two other ME 200s and a preamplifier/processor/receiver to run your home theatre system to unreal levels and quality.
Inputs and outputs are via high quality gold RCA standard sockets and gold banana sockets. The quality of construction is uncommon for amplifiers of both this size and power, conferring the confidence of a lifetime of quality ownership.
The amplifier's sophisticated cooling system extracts the warm air from within a typical Music System Cabinet and expels it via the access holes normally provided for wiring. This cooling effect will significantly prolong the life of all other electronic components, records and tapes that are stored within the cabinet.

High Capacitance option - this is an additional 60,000uF Energy Storage Matrix Module which brings the total capacitance to 102,000uF, improving bass control and Imaging. Recommended, especially for larger speaker systems. This is option C.
Note: These options can be fitted at a later date however there is an additional cost.
