THE BRAX PHILOSOPHY

Based on our basic principles handmade and made in Germany we have designed the amplifier BRAX Matrix X2 according to the latest technical knowledge. The result is both a top-class amplifier and a true high-end statement: A long lasting period of research and development, innovative technologies and an extremely fastidious manufacturing combined with the love for music as the driving force for our work make the BRAX Matrix X2 doubtlessly to the most powerful and best sounding 2-channel amplifier of the world. Concerning the straight design of the X2-amplifier and the sophisticated layout of the circuit board, we have deliberately set crossovers and filter functions aside. Short signal paths combined with selected components made in Germany ensure pristine listening pleasure and underline the puristical high-end philosophy of the BRAX Matrix X2. In order to completely eliminate power differences and manufacturing tolerances, we only use hand-selected transistors for the production of each X2-amplifier. Concerning power-, voltage- and resistance data we select them in more than 300 categories. Thus, all transistors harmonize perfectly in terms of technical specifications. In doing so, our BRAX amplifiers obtain a worldwide reference status. Striving for ultimate perfection, Audiotec Fischer is the only manufacturer of audiophile products on the globe that conducts this extensive and time-consuming hand-selection. Of course, all the instruments that are necessary for this procedure are in-house developments. Two separate power supplies for positive and negative voltage feed account for an endlessly stable power output. The amplifiers output is even stable when you connect loudspeakers and a woofer with different impedances to the BRAX Matrix X2. In order to control voltage fluctuations, an external power stabilizer can directly be connected to the power supply. Moreover, the solid and gold-plated terminals for cables up to 50mm make another contribution to an ideal power supply of the BRAX Matrix X2. At the end of the day, the BRAX Matrix X2 can be described as an amplifier with a sound rendition that is highly dynamic, powerful in an awsome way and swift as an arrow. The underlying philosophy is topped-off by a packaging in a precious wooden box. Furthermore, each single amplifier is manufactured individually and its respective serial number is recorded in our data-base. The amplifier BRAX Matrix X2 is only produced on demand and of course we can respond to our customers requirements. In this way, each amplifier is a valuable individual item that rightly deserves the title high-end made in Germany.

Interference-free power supply due to optimized suppression coil up to 300 A with ultra-low internal resistance. External connection for BRAX-Power-Stabilizers, directly connected to the switching transistors, guarantee exceptional high efficiency and optimum power stabilization. Eight capacitors, each with 5000F (in total 40000F), take care of an extremely high current impulse load. Especially designed capacitors with 8-times-contacted wound foils minimize the internal resistance. High efficiency due to super-fast Schottky-power diodes with more than 160 A in total. Especially developed transformers with highly-efficient core materials guarantee a total performance of more than 1800 Watts. Optimum power supply of the amplifier transistors due to newly developed storage coils that bridge the switching delay dead times. 200 A high-performance switching transistors. Software-controlled switching power supply for generating a distortion-free amplifier driver voltage. Optimum power supply of the transistors due to 8-times-contacted low-impedance capacitors with a total capacity of 26400F. Best signal processing due to a newly developed and discretely designed driver.
Below the lateral PC-boards there are in total 32 hand-selected high-end MOS-FET transistors which account for brilliant sound. Protection electronics The PSoC controller is responsible for the five switching power supplies and thus takes care of a constant power supply of the MOS-FET transistors. Moreover, it monitors the entire amplifier by means of the protection electronics. Malfunctions are detected immediately and the speakers are protected. Power supply for the controllers and its integrated circuits. Signal inputs with high-end signal condensors make an essential contribution to a perfect and pure sound rendition. Gold-plated RCA (cinch) inputs and outputs guarantee an interference-free signal transmission. Premium Alps potentiometers adjust the input sensitivity to the output voltage of the connected head-unit. Siemens high-current relays with Degussa-contacts account for the internal and external protection of the amplifier. The solid heatsink, made of a special aluminium alloy takes care of a perfect cooling of power supply transistors and those of the amplifier.

INITIAL SETUP

In order to maintain the quality of this product and to ensure safe operation, we strongly recommend that our amplifiers should be installed by an authorized BRAX-dealer. The installation by a qualified an an accredited technician will qualify you for our special lifetime warranty. Your BRAX-dealer will also assist you in selecting the correct additional components and in ensuring that proper consideration is given to all the safety and sound related aspects.
General instructions: Installation of BRAX amplifiers
To find out how BRAX Matrix X2 works best for you, read this manual carefully and follow the instructions for installation. We guarantee that this product has been checked for proper functioning before shipping. Before you start installation, disconnect the car battery at the minus pole. Once again we would like to urge you to have the installation work carried out by a specialist, as a verification of correct installation and connection of the unit is a prerequisite for warranty cover of BRAX by AUDIOTEC FISCHER Germany. 1. Install your amplifier at a dry location in the car where there is sufficient air circulation to ensure adequate cooling of the equipment. Also ensure that there is sufficient clearance available for making the cable connections and operating the controlls. 2. For safety reasons the amplifier must be secured in a professional manner. This is performed by means of four fixing screws screwed into a mounting surface. Before drilling the holes for the screws, carefully examine the area around the installation position and make sure that there are no electrical cables or components, hydraulic brake lines or any part of the petrol tank located behind the mounting surface - otherwise these could be damaged. You should be aware of the fact that such components may also be concealed in the double-skin trim panels/mouldings.
General instructions: Connection of BRAX amplifiers
The amplifier may only be installed in motor vehicles which have a 12V negative terminal connected to the chassis ground. Any other system could cause damage to the amplifier and the electrical system of the vehicle. The positive lead from the battery for the complete system should be provided with a line fuse at a distance of max. 30 cm from the battery. The amperage rating of the fuse is calculated from the maximum total current input of the car/vehicle audio system.
Never bridge fuses or replace them with fuses with a higher amperage rating as such actions can destroy both of the amplifier and the entire electrical system of the vehicle. Install the cabling in a manner which preludes any danger of the leads being exposed to shear, crushing or rupture forces. If there are sharp edges in the vicinity (e.g. holes in the body work), all cables must be cushioned and protected to prevent fraying. Never lay the power supply cables adjacent to leads and lines connecting other vehicle equipment (fan motors, fire detection modules, gas/petrol lines etc.). In order to ensure safe installation, use only high-quality connection materials. As an aid to calculating the cross-sectional requirements of power cables which are not longer than 5 m, we recommend max. 5 A per mm. For the amplifier BRAX Matrix X2 we suggest a minimum cross section of 35 mm for the positive 12-volt supply lead and for the ground (chassis) cable. The remote lead should have a cross section of at least 1 mm. In order to ensure the ideal sound quality and a distortion-free music rendition, please make sure that all cables are securely fixed in the respective terminals.

Connection of the power supply
1 Connecting the remote lead
The remote lead is connected to the automatic antenna (aerial positive) output of the head unit (radio). This is only activated if the head unit is switched ON. Thus the amplifier is switched on and off with the head unit. 2 Connecting the ground cable
The ground cable should be connected to a central ground reference point (this is located where the negative terminal of the battery is grounded at the metal body of the vehicle), or to a bright bare-metal location on the vehicle chassis, i.e. an area which has been cleaned of all paint residues. 3 Connecting the battery cable
Connect the +12 V power cable to the positive terminal of the battery. Recommended cross section: min. 35 mm. The supplied 130 A BRAX-fuse has to be installed at a distance of max. 30 cm from the positive terminal of the battery.
Connectors for a BRAX Power Stabilizer
By connecting a BRAX Power Stabilizer peak loads in the power supply will be eliminated. Thus, the amplifier has always enough power for a perfect performance.

6 Loudspeaker terminals

To connect the speaker cables. Never connect the loudspeaker cables with the car chassis ground. It damages your amplifier. All speaker systems must be connected in-phase, this means plus to plus and minus to minus. Inverting plus and minus will result in the loss of bass rendition. The positive terminal is marked on most speakers. 7-8 CPS - Colour Protection System
The LEDs show the operation status of the amplifier. Yellow (11) = malfunction: short-circuit at speaker output; Red (12) = overheated: If the amp shuts off due to overheating it will take some time (depending on the outside temperature) until it switches on again. 9 Stereo/Bridged/Mono selector
To select the mode of the amplifier. Stereo: Select the STEREO MODE for using the channels A and B in the 2-channel mode. The respective LED (STEREO) lights up blue. Stereo Bridged: Select the stereo bridged mode for using the channels A and B in the mono mode. In this mode both channels are bridged to one channel (mono). The respective LED (ST.BRGD) lights up blue. At position STEREO BRIDGED both inputs A and B have to be used. Mono Bridged: According to the mode stereo bridged the amplifier is switched to mono and both channels will be bridged to one channel. If you select MONO BRIDGED only the input A has to be used. This can be necessary if there is only one mono signal available. The respective LED (MONO BRGD) lights up blue.

The output power of the amplifier BRAX Matrix X2 is independent from impedance. By using the impedance selector (13) the impedance of the connected loudspeaker system (4 Ohms, 2 Ohms or 1 Ohm) has to be selected. If several loudspeakers are connected to one channel, the impedance can be approximately calculated as follows: series connection: parallel connection: Z total = Z x n Z total = Z / n (n= amount of loudspeakers; Z= loudspeaker impedance)
Please note: A special case of calculating the impedance is the bridged mode, i.e. the operation of the channels A/B in the mode stereo bridged or mono bridged. In this case the total impedance has to be divided by two once more. Please note that the total impedance is not lower than 1 Ohm per channel. If the connected loudspeaker impedance is below the selected impedance, the amplifier turns into protection mode. Example 1: Two 4 Ohms loudspeakers are connected parallely to the channels A and B in the bridged mono mode. Impedance Lsp. A and Lsp. B = (4 Ohms / 2) / 2 = 1 Ohm Thus, for channels A/B you have to select an impedance of 1 Ohm. Example 2: Two 4 Ohms loudspeakers are connected to the channels A and B in the stereo mode. Impedance Lsp. A and Lsp. B = 4 Ohms / 2 = 2 Ohms Thus, for channels A/B you have to select an impedance of 2 Ohms. 11 Level controls for input sensitivity
These controls can be used to match the input sensitivity of the individual channels to the output voltage of the connected head unit. These controls are no volume controls and are solely intended for the purpose of sensitivity trimming. The control range extends from 600 mV to 8,0 V. 12 Signal inputs
The amplifier has RCA connectors for RCA cables that can be connected with the pre-amplifier output of the line outputs of the headunit or with a pre-amplifier. The connectors are gold-plated to ensure a better signal transmission. 13 path. Balanced signal inputs
The amplifier BRAX Matrix X2 has two balanced signal inputs which account for the elimination of distortions on the signal
