ORIGINAL ROCKFORD FOSGATE PUNCH MARINE USA PM500X1bd 500W CLASS-BD MONO AMPLIFIER

ORIGINAL ROCKFORD FOSGATE PUNCH MARINE USA PM500X1bd 500W CLASS-BD MONO AMPLIFIER

The PM500X1bd is a 500 Watt mono amplifier with high dynamic power using Class-bd technology and a conformal coated pc board designed for motorsport and marine applications.

With its super efficient Class-bd circuit topology, the PM500X1bd will drop some serious BASS! Due to its dedicated low frequency response, this amplifier is optimized for mid-bass speakers or subwoofers only. No need to worry because its 1-ohm capability will drive a pair of 4-ohm DVC subwoofers or quad-configuration of 2-ohm DVC subwoofers with ease.

Technologies:

• CEA-2006 Compliant - Power ratings on Rockford Fosgate amplifiers conform to CEA-2006 industry standards. These guidelines mean your amplifier's output power ratings are REAL POWER numbers, not inflated marketing ratings.
• CE Compliant - This product fulfills all essential safety and environmental requirements as defined in the European Directives (768/2008 EC).
• TRANS•ana - Trans•ana is a Class A/B topology that simplifies the signal path of the amplifier allowing the signal to travel through the amplifier at a lower voltage. The result is greater reliability and exceptional sound quality.
• Balanced Differential Inputs - Differential inputs eliminate noise picked up by signal cables.
• Element Ready™ - Amps - These amplifiers are protected against Dust, UV, Corrosion, and feature Stainless hardware.
• DTM - Dynamic Thermal Management evenly distributes excess heat across entire amplifier heatsink.
• DSM - DSM utilize 1% tight-tolerances improving efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature.
• MEHSA3 - MEHSA3 reduces MOSFET temperatures, lowers distortion, increases durability and prolongs the output device life span.
• NOMAD - NOMAD is a "real time" analog computer that protects your amplifier from shorting speaker wires and dangerously low speaker impedances.
• Engineered In The USA - These Avatars are a personal signature from the Rockford Fosgate team member(s) who designed and engineered this fanatic product. This statement illustrates our commitment to being Designed and Engineered in the U.S.A.
• C.L.E.A.N. Set-Up - Patented circuit with in/out clip LEDs to help match a source to amp and optimize output.
