1,000 Watt Mono Element Ready™ Amplifier

Element Ready™ - Amps

Dust - We make sure that displays and motor structures are sealed up tight so they look as clear as possible and perform day in and day out no matter how many times you hit the trails. UV Inhibitor Materials - Centrex and ASA plastic materials are used for their UV radiation resistance and components are tested in accordance with ASTM D4329 testing and certification procedures. Corrosion Protection (Electronics) - Two part epoxy coated PCB boards prevent corrosion of critical components due to exposure in moisture rich environments. Stainless Hardware - Stainless hardware is used due to its natural resistance to corrosion and rusting. This ensures that electrical connections will not degrade over time due to exposure to the elements. ">These amplifiers are protected against Dust, UV, Corrosion, and feature Stainless hardware.

IPX6 Water Intrusion Rating

CTA-2006 Compliant

Answer ID #199 in our Knowledge Base .">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.

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)

4 (Maximum Efficiency Heat Sink Application - gen. 4) is a proprietary process that yields a better heat transfer than traditional FET mounting techniques, using the exact same components. An insulated metal substrate operating with minimal thermal resistance spreads heat both downward & outward to quickly dissipate heat from each device across the heatsink. This process combined with our optimized heatsink designs, DSM (Discrete Surface Mount) technology and MOSFET devices, allows Rockford Fosgate to squeeze more watts per cubic inch from every output device as well as provide consistent thermal stability. The 4th generation is a ceramic isolator and provides improved EMI and advanced thermal coupling. The higher power handling results in a high reduction in thermal impedance.">MEHSA 4 reduces MOSFET temperatures, lowers distortion, increases durability and prolongs the output device life span.

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

A midbass hump between 100-275Hz A steep roll-off of high frequencies from 2kHz up to 20kHz Reduced bass response below 50Hz The Punch EQ on-board equalization circuit helps correct for these acoustical deficiencies in the listening environment. When set to Low-Pass(LP) operation, it becomes a variable Bass Boost. When set to High-Pass (HP) operation, it acts as a variable Mid-Bass and Treble Boost. When set to All Pass (AP) operation, both Bass and Treble frequencies are boosted.">Onboard equalizer with up to +18dB @ 45Hz and/or up to +12dB boost at 12kHz.

NOMAD

The NOMAD circuit accomplishes just that. It's a totally new and very high tech method of dealing with device current and voltage parameters, without being affected by other factors such as heat. Our approach to "real time" protection is one that uses a mathematical transformation which eliminates the problems encountered with trying to do real time multiplication of instantaneous device voltage and current. Essentially an analog computer calculates at each instant, the maximum allowable level of safe current for each output device, based on their instantaneous voltage drop. This allows the protection to be much more precise than ever before, and ensures reliability.">NOMAD is a "real time" analog computer that protects your amplifier from shorting speaker wires and dangerously low speaker impedances.
