Can I use 3 Outlaw M2200 mono blocks for Fronts LRC channel

[steelydan75]

I’ve got a Denon avrx4200w and want to know if you are able to run 3 Outlaw M2200 mono blocks for front main L R C channel. The 4200 has the pre outs but just want to know if you can run all 3 at the same time or if there’s any issues?
Thanks

No problem. You can hook up as many amps as there are pre-outs. So if it has 7 pre-outs, you could hook up 7 monoblocks or 7Ch amp.

Thanks for responding. Was curious if there is any conflict or if it’s easy peasy?

Do your basic homework so you don't accidentally blow anything up, but yeah. Pretty easy. I'd run room correction again once you're hooked up in case there's any difference with gain structure.

Biggest problem is your outlet situation @ryanosaur runs five of them....

Another consideration is how you turn them on/off....

Outlaw did an interesting thing in not having a on/off switch up front. They do have an on/off rocker switch on the back like we see on PC's, but I think the intent was to either use a 12V trigger or the "music" feature (turn on when music signal is detected). I use the 12V trigger because I have the trigger signal from the AVR. I assume the music sense feature must have some amount of delay, but have not tried it. Of course there is also "always on" as an option. I haven't looked to see if it might have some power saving mode!

Here are measurements if you have not seen them:

Didnt think they had an auto on feature....

The image is a bit out of focus, but the options for the trigger switch read:
On, Music, and 12V

I was thinking more of using a trigger for three units....

It has in and out for the 12V trigger so you can daisy chain them.

LOL so I'm misremembering this amp in several ways Thought that was a concern....or maybe I'm thinking an older model?

One way of controlling that is to use a power sequencer.
EDIT: Or connecting the monoblocks onto a separate power strip.

Middle Atlantic MPR-SEQA

Apprarently with the features of the 2200 that would be unnecessary let alone the very large caps!

I believe the main difference from the older m200 is the baanced input:

Outlaw is thumbs up for daisy chaining 3 units. No more. Requires a Mono 1/8' plug IIRC.
I use the Music Sense feature and am fine with the ~3 second lag as the signal works its way through the chain.
I have all five plugged into their own 20 amp power strip. All equipment in my room is on the same 20 amp circuit (and AVR, TV, PS4, BD player are on a different strip).
Even Godzilla 3 at Reference Level didn't trip anything, and there is that scene during the battle with what seemed like a minute long infrasonic climax... I was reaching for the remote, but nothing happened. (Well... other than the foundation settling slightly, and maybe a few nails getting loosened, but who's counting?)
