ROCKFORD FOSGATE P500X1BD

ROCKFORD FOSGATE

(P500X1BD) PUNCH 500 WATT CLASS-BD MONO AMPLIFIER

The Punch P500X1bd is a mono amplifier capable of 500 Watts into a 1-Ohm load. The Class-BD technology produces bass more efficiently over traditional amps, and its frequency response allows it to be optimized for subwoofers.

With its super efficient Class-bd circuit topology, the P500X1bd 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:

• CE Compliant:  This product fulfills all essential safety and environmental requirements as defined in the European Directives (768/2008 EC).
• 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.

• Class-BD:  Class-BD amplifiers have 75-80% efficiency ratings vs. 20-60% efficiency ratings of traditional Class-A/B amplifiers.

• Balanced Differential Inputs:  Differential inputs eliminate noise picked up by signal cables.

• DSM:  DSM utilize 1% tight-tolerances improving efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature.
• MEHSA^3:  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:  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.
