Specifications of the amplifier:
- Massively powerful 2,000 watt continuous Class D design with over 5,000 watts peak power.
- High resolution 295Mhz Analog Devices Audio DSP with double precision 56bit filtering, with more than 5x the processing power of our previous subwoofers, the most advanced subwoofer processor on the market for perfect audio reproduction.
- The DSP monitors every function of the amplifier and ensures that a precisely regulated, clean voltage is supplied to and from the switching power supply and that maximum current is delivered to the driver voice coils.
- DSP continuously runs complex power management algorithms and multi-point thermal, voltage and current monitoring systems to optimise the AC voltage supply to the power supply for continuous peak performance with maximum performance and efficiency.
- Advanced digital audio processing and DACs (digital-to-analogue converters) with a signal-to-noise ratio of 120 dB ensure greater headroom, less noise and pristine fidelity.
- The discrete Class D dual mono amplifiers generate effortless and endless power from eight massive 60A 200V MOSFETs, resulting in lower EMI and highest e?ciency, while effortlessly powering each voice coil and producing SPLs and low frequencies with pristine clarity far beyond the reference listening level. They power each voice coil effortlessly, producing SPLs and low frequencies with pristine clarity far beyond the reference listening level.
- The new switch mode power supply (SMPS) features a two-stage active power factor correction (PFC) for the entire range from 100 V to 240 V, which optimises the mains independently of the mains voltage and the frequency; This regulates the mains to a stable 390 V DC regardless of the mains voltage and quality, thus ensuring a constant 160 V rail voltage for the dual mono amplifiers.
- Power Factor Correction (PFC) adapts the AC voltage to the AC current over time, resulting in lower heat generation, higher efficiency, higher peak power and the ability to maintain rated power over a wide range of AC voltages.
- The integrated AC line conditioner filters and stabilises the input voltage, corrects waveform distortion and eliminates electromagnetic and radio interference to optimise signal quality and audio performance.
- The new convective cooling plate design draws cool air through the ventilation holes on the underside of the amplifier plate and flows over the amplifier components and internal heat sinks, eliminating the need for external heat sinks; The new convective heat sink design draws cool outside air through the vents on the bottom of the amplifier plate and flows over the amplifier components and internal heat sinks, eliminating the need for external heat sinks.
