Lyngdorf Audio Announces MXA-8400 Powerhouse 8-Channel Amplifier
Lyngdorf Audio has launched its most potent amplifier yet in the new MXA-8400 power amplifier.
Combining the Danish company's PowerPerfect power supply design with Purifi's Eigentakt Class D amplification, the result is a claimed eight channels of 400 watts (into four ohms in two-channel mode). We are also told that it boasts "ultra-low-noise and precise analogue input stages and a sophisticated 4-layer PCB optimised for the best signal purity and grounding".
The multichannel amplifier is designed to sit nicely with Lyngdorf's MP-40 2.1 and MP-60 2.1 processors, which can decode up to sixteen output channels for Dolby Atmos and DTS-X AV setups.
Purifi's Eigentakt technology features patented error correction - Eigentakt ErrorCorrection (EEC) - for "extremely low" distortion, with the amplifier's sonic goal being to produce "incredibly neutral sound performance, with negligible audible noise" at any frequency and volume.
Lyngdorf also tells us that its latest power supply has been specially designed to cope with the MXA-8400's combined 3.2 kilowatts of output power (and even higher peak power), even when all the channels are driven. The design apparently utilises channel balancing, filtering and several protection systems to overcome what the company believes to be a limit of many multichannel models.
The amplifier's output channels are bridgeable in pairs, with power ratings up to 800 watts per channel for four channels (into eight ohms in bridge mode). It isn't lacking in inputs, either, with the MXA-8400's rear panel accommodating four pairs of XLRs.
The Lyngdorf Audio MXA-8400 power amplifier costs £9,995, with availability commencing in November.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
