Is this amplifier M8250x too much for the following 7.1.4 setup using only Monoprice equipment? THX-465T - L/R Fronts, THX-365C - Center, THX-365T - L/R Surround Sides & L/R Surround Backs, 4x Alpha In-Ceiling 8in with 15 degree Angled Drivers Product # 34198 (Atmos), M-215 subs. Because the HTP-1 is out of stock until June, 2023 I might have to pick up the Arcam AV41 to throw into this Monoprice exclusive setup. I already have the speakers. I need the correct powered equipment to push them.

Not at all. I use this amp to drive Goldenear SuperCinema X sound bar for front 3 and SuperSat 3s for surround and Atmos. It is PERFECT. It's clean and powerful with great dynamic range. It VANISHES in the background. But if you want to know output you can expect, search for "Peak SPL Calculator" and input the data. It will give you a good representation of what sound pressure level you'll achieve with this amp and those speakers.

Afraid I don't have any experience with those speakers but the amp definitely puts out (mine at least) the full advertised power. It may even be a bit conservative. I have it running front wide and 6 heights (7x running the other 7 base layer). I can also say that it blends quite well with the 7x despite being a "class D"... and it's a LOT lighter LOL

My processor does not have balanced outputs. Is it okay to use RCA to XLR cables?
A shopper
on Oct 15, 2022
BEST ANSWER: I am currently using RCA to XLR cables in my setup with no issues. My cables are only 3 ft. long. I believe the XLR cables would be a better solution for longer distances, because the main benefit of XLR is to improve noise rejection over longer distances.

Why would a digital amplifier require 2 20 amp power cords…?
A shopper
on Dec 19, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Given the nature of the NC502MP module and the chassis size target we were working toward, the overall assembly allowed for two power inlets so we could better position the amp to hit the targeted power numbers on all 8 channels at the same time.
Based on testing, at full power from all 8 channels into 8ohms the amp draws ~23 Amps total from the 120VAC wall. To get to the 4ohm spec we claim, 400W, on all 8 channels we need to double that current, ~46Amps. One 20A/16A rated inlet would not handle that current. Also based on the Hypex datasheet, the NC502MP power consumption at full power is 1.2kW per module. With 4 modules in the chassis, we would need a connector to handle 4.8kW. At 120VAC line voltage, that would need to handle 40Amps.

Not seeing anything about only for 4 channels. It is indeed 400 into 4 for all 8 channels. You can run all 7 and if imthey are all 4 ohms each will get 400 watts. I have this setup and it is louder than I could want with headroom to spare. Great amp.

BEST ANSWER: Hypex designs the modules used in this amplifier. Monoprice is just an integrator. They integrated Hypex modules into a chassis and provide connectors and a power button and things like that. These Hypex modules that are used each have two channels, so you could take your pick of a 2, 4, 6, 8 channel amplifier which would have 1,2,3 or 4 Hypex Modules respectively. There are always other options if you'd like something more "standard" :)

Can I plug bother the plugs into one outlet. Or is it required to have the plugs plugged in on desperate outlets/circuits?
A shopper
on May 5, 2022
BEST ANSWER: If you look at the answer above regarding current draw of the two circuits, it would depend on the impedance of your speakers, and how hard you expected to drive them. In reality, few people (if any) would likely ever draw maximum power from this amp in a real system scenario. I would expect most people could get by with a single 20A circuit, and some with a single 15A, but to get near rated power, you’d need (2) 20A circuits.

I have a dedicated 20amp circuit (actually was wired for 30 amps originally with 10/3 romex). If I plug both cords into the one outlet what are the odds the single dedicated 20amp will be enough and no trip a breaker or starve the amp? My room is 19x13 I can't see ever driving all 8 channels to anywhere near 200 watts/ch?
Keith L
on Jun 15, 2022
BEST ANSWER: Warning: Do not attempt the following unless you are absolutely certain the 10/3 Romex you site is a direct line from your electrical panel to your outlet and is not feeding anything else. Go to your electrical panel, remove the wires from the 20amp breaker and connect the red and black wires to a 2-pole 20amp breaker (you'll need a double slot). Use a dedicated 20amp outlet and connect the red wire to one socket and the black wire to the other (+ side for both). Make sure to break the (+) connecting tab between the two sockets. Do not break the tab on the neutral (-) side. The white neutral wire can serve both sockets. It may be difficult to wire 10 gauge to a 20amp outlet since it's designed for no more than 12. You will now have two dedicated 20amp circuits in one outlet. Make sure not to leave off the ground. The amp needs it. And you should not have a standard outlet wired to a 30amp breaker. They are not designed to handle more than 20 amps. Unless you are skilled doing electrical work you should have an electrician do this for you. If you need to run a new line 12/3 Romex will work just as well.

What are the advantages of the Monolith 8250x (42654) over the Monlith 7x (14566)? The 7x has lower THD and higher SNR and yet is regularly $1150 cheaper than the 8250x despite only having one less channel and similar wattage. I understand that class D runs cooler and is lighter, but are there any other advantages, specifically sonic improvements?

Looking forward to seeing this actually for sale. It looks like a game changer. Looking at the back panel and the specs on the hypex module, I am assuming that dual 20A circuits is a must to get close to full-rated output on all 8 channels (which most people would never see in real life). When can we expect to see some hands-on reviews or the product?

Can I run this on a 15 amp outlet ? I realize that for all eight channels to run at 200 W at the same time it must be a 2 20 amp circuits.. I doubt I would ever be running 200 W on all eight channels at the same time though. This would be powering rear channels for surroundsound along with Atmos.

QUIET, CLEAN, POWERFUL, DYNAMIC AND COOL!!
I bought this to replace another brand's amps. One was a class A/B and the other a class H. I wanted a one box solution for my move to Atmos and I narrowed it down to this and the Monolith 7x. I chose the M8250x for the GREAT HYPEX implementation by ATI and the Class D architecture. (The recent sale was the final motivating factor.) Put simply, this amp is dead silent, cool running, and powerful! The build quality is very good. Solid XLR connections and speaker binding posts. The chassis is thick and the heat sinks are SOLID! ATI and Monoprice put together a winning package! Does it have a sound? I can only say the amps it replaced had issues in the top end that isn't there with this amp. It has a TON of power in reserves and brought old movies to new life. Music is clean without any harshness. Dynamic is how I would describe this amp. If you want a professional review, head to Audio Science Review and search for Hypex. You'll see that they had very favorable opinions of the NC502MP modules used here. I can't recommend it enough! And buying from Monoprice couldn't have been easier. It shipped fast, was WELL protected, and ZERO ISSUES thus far! And if there are, there's a 5 YEAR WARRANTY! Buy one now, you WON'T regret it!

Light, Silent, Sexy.
My Emotiva XPA-5 pooped out on me, and i'd already been reading about Hypex Amplifier Modules and the excellent specifications they have. I was looking at ordering one from overseas integrators instead of the US Based ones, but when I saw that Monoprice had one available I knew that was the route to go. I snagged this as soon as it came in stock and have had it running at home for a few days now.
The Amplifier Gain is clearly lower than my Emotiva Amp as things are no longer as loud, which should be fixed by a recalibration of Dirac Live. But this amplifier is completely silent when my volume is turned up to 100%.
The build quality is also excellent and the amplifier feels very nice while also being half the weight of my Emotiva Amplifier. The only thing I'm missing is that I wish they had used nicer posts for the speaker connections on an amplifier this expensive.
Sorry I don't have an audiophile style review of the sound. It sounds excellent though and has zero noise that i've been able to detect.
Oh, and the power button feels nice for what its worth.
