Features

Thank you for purchasing an M-401e Mirage Multi-Zone Amplifier. Please read this manual thoroughly before making

connections and plugging in the device. Following the instructions in this manual will enable you to obtain optimum

performance and listening enjoyment from your new Multi-Zone Amplifier. Please retain this manual for future reference.

Multi-Zone, Multi-Source Switching

The M-401e amplifier has four separate

amplifiers, providing 4 independent zones

with integrated control. There are 6

input sources comprising the following:

• Sources 1 – 4 are either Analog Stereo,

or Coax Digital Audio (PCM) Digital Coax

has priority if both are connected.

• Sources 5 - 6 are either Coax (PCM) or

Optical Digital Audio (TOSLINK) Only

one connection is permitted to each

source.

• Sources 1 -6 have a programmable

delay: up to 600ms - 5ms steps.

eAudioCast

Four separate amplifiers independent

yet integrated control. Multiple remote

sources may be assigned, originating from a

connected eSeries amplifiers and streamers.

Amplifier Physical Stacking for

Zone Expansion

Additional zones may be added by

physically linking amplifiers in a stack

through the Digital Coax connections.

Use sources 1-6 Digital Coax outputs for

connection to the Digital Coax inputs

of additional Autonomic amplifier(s).

As an alternative to physically

linking amplifiers together, eSeries

amplifiers support adding zones over

Ethernet via Autonomic's proprietary

eAudioCast technology.

Pre-amplifiers and Outputs

Each zone has bass, treble, balance and

loudness control. These are accessed

from the front panel or Mirage Web

Interface. A feature called "Maximum

Volume limiting", is useful for protecting

connected speakers. It may be applied to

both amplifier and preamplifier outputs.

Amplifier Power, Protection,

and Clipping Indicators

55 Watts into 8 ohm loads, and 75 Watts into

4 ohm loads with < 1% THD. The amplifiers

are protected against output shorts, and

have algorithms that prevent hard clipping

when the zone amplifiers are overdriven.

Thermal Control

There are two progressive

levels of thermal control:

• The amplifier volume is reduced 20dB.

• The amplifiers are shutdown until the

temperature reduces below the first

level.

Care should be taken to ensure

adequate ventilation. See "Important

Safety Instructions" on page 2.

IR Emitter Ports

There are 8 Buffered IR emitter Ports.

Ports 1 – 6 have IR routing, and are intended

to control specific input source components.

Ethernet and IR Control

The M-401e amplifier may be controlled

and monitored via Ethernet. An M-401e

amplifier may receive IR directly from

the front panel receiver. There are zone

specific IR commands and also a set of

global IR commands. The commands are:

• ON

• OFF

• Standby (toggling)

• Mute

• Volume Up

• Volume Down

• Source Selects

• Discrete Audio Source Selects

• On with Source Specific commands

Amplifier Zone ON Status – "Amp-On"

Each zone has AMP-ON status:

12VDC OUT on the rear panel

connector: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8).

Discrete Audio Selection

Audio selection may be independent. There

are IR Discrete control commands available.

Zone Linking

A zone may be programmed to be linked

with other zones. Zone linking ties the source

selection together. Optionally, it may also be

configured to tie the zone group's volume and

power. In your specific listening area(s) it may

be advantageous to have different volume

control but the same source, or the same

volume with separate power control. Zone

linking is setup via the amplifier's web interface.

96 Zones

There are 96 zones of possible control. On

an M-401e amplifier each zone must be

different, however in a multiple amplifier

stack, same zone amplifiers are possible

(they simply mimic every parameter).

Power Failure Restoration

After an AC power outage the M-401e

amplifier restores its settings to the

ore-interrupted state. All internal

settings are stored in non-volatile

memory, except the clock that runs for

at least 48 hours on stored power.

Restore Defaults

The M-401e amplifier may be set to

the default settings. Restoring defaults

clears all memory and resets the zone

allocations to zones 1 – 4. It will also reset

any custom zone and source names to

default (Zone 1 and S1, for example).

Firmware Upgradable

The M-401e amplifier may be updated with

the latest operational firmware. See

www.Autonomic-Controls.com

for support.
