MartinLogan MP500 V2 Multi-Purpose DSP Amplifier

Serious Power. Intelligent Control. Remarkably Compact.

The MartinLogan MP500 V2 delivers exceptional power, flexibility, and precision in a compact amplifier designed for premium outdoor audio, custom installation speakers, and subwoofer systems.

Featuring MartinLogan's advanced Ultra-Class-D™ amplification, the MP500 V2 delivers up to 500 watts of power with selectable digital signal processing (DSP) presets engineered to optimize performance with compatible MartinLogan speakers and subwoofers.

Whether you're creating a spectacular outdoor entertainment system, powering architectural speakers, or adding deep, controlled bass to a home theater, the MP500 V2 offers an outstanding combination of performance and versatility.

Powerful Performance for Demanding Systems

The MP500 V2 can be configured for stereo, dual-mono, or bridged-mono operation, allowing it to accommodate a variety of audio installations.

Power Output:

• 130 watts × 2 channels into 8 ohms

• 250 watts × 2 channels into 4 ohms

• 500 watts × 1 channel into 8 ohms (bridged)

This flexibility makes the MP500 V2 an excellent solution for powering outdoor speakers, passive subwoofers, and custom-installed audio systems.

Intelligent DSP for Exceptional Sound

What truly distinguishes the MP500 V2 is its onboard digital signal processing.

MartinLogan engineers have developed selectable DSP presets specifically optimized for compatible MartinLogan outdoor speakers, landscape audio systems, and architectural subwoofers.

These presets help deliver balanced frequency response, controlled bass, and reliable performance without requiring complicated external processing equipment.

The amplifier also supports firmware updates through its front-panel USB-C connection, allowing supported speaker configurations to be updated as new presets become available.

Designed for Professional Integration

The MP500 V2 offers exceptional installation flexibility in a remarkably compact chassis.

Its half-rack-width design allows two amplifiers to be mounted side by side in a single 1U rack space using the included mounting hardware.

For installations where a rack isn't necessary, the amplifier can also be positioned on a shelf or inside an equipment cabinet.

A quiet, temperature-controlled cooling system helps maintain reliable performance during demanding listening sessions.

The Perfect Partner for MartinLogan Outdoor Audio

The MP500 V2 is particularly well suited for professionally designed MartinLogan outdoor entertainment systems.

Its combination of substantial power and purpose-built DSP presets makes it an excellent match for compatible Outdoor Living satellite speakers and passive landscape subwoofers.

It is equally valuable in home theater installations requiring dedicated amplification for MartinLogan architectural subwoofers.

For larger systems, multiple MP500 V2 amplifiers can be combined to provide additional channels while occupying very little equipment rack space.
