EASY CLICK TECHNOLOGY
Easy Click technology is our commitment to making our products easy to use and ultra
accurate for the professional or DIY installer. All crossover frequency potentiometers have
41 detents or “clicks” so the end user can set the exact cross over frequency desired.
For example, turn the potentiometer 10 clicks for exactly 100Hz. No more turning the
potentiometer and guessing where your crossover points are. You get exact control of your
amplifier’s output.
FORCE TECHNOLOGY
FORCE technology is our commitment to making our products with bullet proof reliability.
All of our power and speaker terminals are solid, direct insert connectors for maximum
current transfer and easy installation. All amplifiers feature robust power supplies for
maximum power. The output stage of our two and four channel models feature audiophile
Bi-Polar Transistors in a Triple Darlington circuit, instead of the cheap MOSFET alternatives.
The circuit boards are also overbuilt with numerous buss bars, excessive capacitors, and
two layer/two ounce copper in the higher power units. These are just a few small details
that illustrate how over building and designing the amplifier today, will guarantee it will
continue to play tomorrow and beyond.
STRAP TECHNOLOGY
STRAP technology is our commitment to making our amplifiers deliver high output for
street or SPL competitions. The X2400.1 and X1200.1 feature STRAP technology. This
means two X2400.1 can be “strapped” together for about 5000 watts into a single voice
coil. If you have a dual voice coil, then you can strap 4 X2400.1’s for 10,000 watts into a
single driver!!!!
TECHNOLOGIE EASY CLICK
La technologie Easy Click est notre engagement à rendre nos produits simples à utiliser
et extrêmement précis pour l’installateur professionnel comme pour le néophyte. Tous les
potentiomètres servant à régler la fréquence du filtre passif ont 41 crans ou «clics» de manière
à ce que l’utilisateur final puisse régler avec exactitude la fréquence de filtre passif souhaitée.
Par exemple, tournez le potentiomètre de 10 clics pour régler précisément 100 Hz. Vous ne
devez plus tourner le potentiomètre et deviner où sont les points de filtre. Vous obtenez un
contrôle précis de la sortie de votre amplificateur.
TECHNOLOGIE FORCE
La technologie FORCE est notre engagement à offrir à nos produits une fiabilité à toute
épreuve. Toutes nos bornes de haut-parleur et de puissance sont des connecteurs à insertion
directe résistants pour un transfert de courant maximum et une installation simplifiée. Tous
les amplificateurs intègrent des blocs d’alimentation robustes pour une puissance maximale.
Le niveau de sortie de nos modèles à deux et quatre canaux comprend des transistors
bipolaires audiophiles dans un circuit Triple Darlington au lieu des alternatives MOSFET meilleur
marché. Les circuits imprimés sont également suréquipés de nombreuses barres de bus, de
nombreux condensateurs et de cuivre deux couches/deux onces dans les unités d’alimentation
supérieures. Il ne s’agit là que de quelques petits détails qui illustrent comment la construction
et la conception de l’amplificateur garantissent aujourd’hui qu’il continuera à fonctionner
demain et à l’avenir.
TECHNOLOGIE STRAP
La technologie STRAP est notre engagement à faire en sorte que nos amplificateurs fournissent
une sortie élevée pour les compétitions de rue ou de niveau sonore. Les modèles X2400.1 et
X1200.1 intègrent la technologie STRAP. Cela signifie que deux X2400.1 peuvent être «groupés»
pour fournir environ 5 000 Watts dans une seule bobine mobile. Si vous avez une double bobine
mobile, vous pouvez alors regrouper 4 X2400.1 pour obtenir 10 000 Watts dans un seul circuit
d’attaque !!!!
