Description
The MP-800U is a compact SD/USB media player that combines an SD card slot and a USB flash drive port with an integrated FM tuner and a USB digital audio converter. It provides both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs for straightforward integration into professional audio systems. The unit supports common audio file formats and includes on-board playback controls for reliable daily operation.
Key features include WAV, MP3 and AAC file support, front-panel USB Type-C audio streaming, and optional Bluetooth audio via the AK-BT2 adapter. Professional playback functions such as Power-on-Play, fade-in/fade-out, Auto-Cue and Auto-Ready simplify automated playback workflows. Dedicated pitch control and Key Original speed adjustment allow tempo changes while preserving or altering pitch as required.
Technical performance is engineered for pro audio environments with playback at 44.1k/48kHz in 16/24-bit for WAV files and MP3/AAC support at standard bitrates and VBR. Measured audio performance yields a frequency response of 20 Hz – 20 kHz (+0.5 dB / -1.0 dB), distortion at 0.005% or less, and a signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range of 95 dB or higher. Storage compatibility spans SD, SDHC, SDXC and USB flash drives up to the documented capacities.
Connectivity covers balanced XLR outputs, unbalanced RCA main and tuner outputs, a front-panel USB Type-C port for USB audio class devices, and a rear USB Type-A port for mass storage devices. Control options include a remote jack, 3.5 mm control in/out jacks and an optional IF-E100 Ethernet card for external control integration. Bluetooth streaming is available using the AK-BT2 adapter for installations requiring wireless sources.
The MP-800U is suited to background music, retail and hospitality audio playback, houses of worship and venue installations that need reliable automated media playback and tuner access. Preset recall for up to 20 FM stations and incremental play functions make scheduled and repeated playback straightforward. Dual output level controls provide independent adjustment for program and tuner outputs during mixed-source deployments.
Installation is simplified by the unit’s 1U rack-compatible height, universal AC power input (100-240 V) and front-panel source access. The metal chassis and professional connectors ensure durable operation in commercial environments. Firmware and control options support integration into larger AV systems while keeping daily operation intuitive for technicians and operators.
