Technologies

• CTA-2006 Compliant: Power ratings on Rockford Fosgate amplifiers conform to CTA-2006 industry standards. These guidelines mean your amplifier's output power ratings are REAL POWER numbers, not inflated marketing ratings.
• Element Ready™ | Amps: All components are protected against harsh outdoor elements like Dust, UV, Temperature, Water, Corrosion & Vibration.
• IPX6 Water Intrusion Rating: Water projected in powerful jets from any direction shall have no harmful effects.
• Class-BD: Class-BD amplifiers have 75-80% efficiency ratings vs. 20-60% efficiency ratings of traditional Class-A/B amplifiers.
• DSM: DSM utilize 1% tight-tolerances improving efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature.
• P.O.W.E.R.: Power supply circuit design that allows the amplifier to increase output power as voltage increases.
• MEHSA 4 (Maximum Efficiency Heat Sink Application): MEHSA⁴ reduces MOSFET temperatures, lowers distortion, increases durability and prolongs the output device life span.
• C.L.E.A.N. Technology: C.L.E.A.N. (Calibrated Level Eliminates Audible Noise) is a patented circuit with in/out clip LEDs to help match a source to amp and optimize output.
• Balanced Differential Inputs: Differential inputs eliminate noise picked up by signal cables.
• Constant Power: Constant Power is a patented circuit topology that provides instantaneous delivery of output power over varying impedance loads.
• Punch EQ2: Onboard equalizer with up to +18dB @ 45Hz and/or up to +12dB boost at 12kHz.
• 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.
