ONKYO M-282 2-Channel Power Amplifier

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for quality stereo listening, for expanding your surround system from 5.1 to 6.1 or 7.1 channels to deliver the latest home theater surround formats, and for multiroom setups, Onkyo's M-282 stereo power amplifier makes a powerful and affordable system upgrade. The amp uses Onkyo's exclusive Wide Range Amplifier Technology and pumps 2 x 100 watts per channel RMS into 8 ohm speakers and 2 x 125 wpc into 6 ohms. (For dynamic power handling, you're looking at 2 x 140 watts into 8 ohms, 2 x 125 watts into 6 ohms.)

If you're going for an upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1, make sure your 5.1 surround receiver has preamplifier outputs for 7.1 channels. The M-282 only amplifies a line-level signal; it does not include surround processing or a volume control like a traditional preamplifier or an integrated amplifier/surround receiver.

You can rig the amp to power up when it senses an audio signal or through the use of a 12-volt trigger (standard to automation systems). The receiver also features audio passthrough jacks in case you want to daisy-chain several like components through several rooms for multi-room distribution of your primary listening source.

The receiver uses Onkyo's Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT), which ensures signal accuracy even with high-resolution sources such as DVD-Audio and SACD. According to Onkyo, WRAT eliminates the adverse effects of counter-electromotive force by applying an unusually low amount of NFB (negative feedback), constructing the amp with carefully selected, high-tolerance, wide-range parts in all critical sections, and using innovative circuit topology based on the company's decades of experience building high-end amplifiers. The result? A flat response beyond 100 kHz.

Rear-panel connections and controls consist of a ground (use only if the system exhibits an audible hum), an input-level adjustment, 1 each stereo analog (left/right) RCA audio input and passthrough/output, a trigger setting (audio, 12-volt, off), a 12-volt trigger input jack, left/right speaker outputs with banana-plug-friendly binding-post speaker terminals, and a grounded AC power terminal.

What's in the Box
Power amplifier, an AC power cord, and a user's manual.

Product Description:

You may be answering the siren call to assemble a separates system for audio or home theater

You may be contemplating an awesome home computer audio section

You may require power for the extra two channels in a 7.1 surround receiver or processor

Whatever the case, the obvious choice is the Onkyo M-282 Power Amplifier

100 watts x 2 channels of 10Hz>100kHz full-bandwidth power will be more than up to the stiffest audio challenge

Onkyo's proprietary Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT) maximizes signal accuracy and resolution

A back-panel automatic power-on/off switch lets you set the amp to turn on when it senses an incoming audio signal, or when you power a component connected to the 12-volt trigger input

Back panel also offers an input level control knob, and banana-plug compatible speaker terminals

Preamp-level input/output loop lets you daisy-chain multiple M-282s, and play the same source in several rooms

Dimensions: 5-3/4"H x 17-1/8"W x 13-1/16D

Warranty: 2 Years

5 out of 5 stars AMPed system.......2006-08-04

I have been using this AMP for the better part of three years. It has never failed, overheated, or given an unsatisfactory performance. It looks sexy and performes like a pro. You will not be dissapointed; I'm not.

3 out of 5 stars Onkyo.......2006-02-01

Onkyo is a relatively large japanese audio maker.
Onkyo is popular but middle class maker.

Accuphase and Luxman are the best japanese audio makers.

3 out of 5 stars Good, But I am glad I did not buy anything cheaper.......2006-01-20

I was looking for a "cheap" amp to drive my 2nd zone "background" music speakers. My price point was around $200 and this unit has a good look to it, so it would fit in next to my more "up scale" B&K separates.

The Good:
It came double boxed and packed well, (always a good sign).
It has a hi-end look to it, (good fit and finish).
The sound is clear and clean, no hum, or hiss (from the speakers, see the bad)
It makes you understand why you spent 10 times as much for your main amp.

The Bad:
The thing is a space heater even when in "stand by" mode the heat is coming from the inexpensive power transformer.
The two tone LED is red when in "stand by" and a cheap orange when "on" I guess green or blue would be better for "on" for me.
I found that when I turned everything "off" to go to bed the transformer has a 60Hz hum to it that can be heard if you are standing a few feet away.

Conclusion:
It seems like a good amp, and if I compare it to the price I paid for my B&K amp it is a good value. Time will tell if the "budget" components will hold up over time. Because of the heat and hum from the transformer I would suggest not using this unit as part of your main music or surround system. I was going to give it 4 stars for looks and features but the heat and hum drag it down to an average 3.

5 out of 5 stars Great quality amp.......2003-04-05

I bought this amp to drive a passive homemade sub and it has done nothing but please me. I'm running it at 4ohms to each channel, and it pumps out serious power. Despite the lower resistance, its heat dissipation is lower than my receiver. I do not believe Onkyo's numbers for this amp, they have to be higher. When I hooked it up to my main front speakers, it revealed an exellent range of frequencies at any volume. This piece is a great example of Onkyo quality for a low price, I'm still curious as to why they discontinued it.
