Rockford engineers designed the Power amplifiers to provide an awesome amount of power while delivering superior sound quality in a convenient and efficient package. The TRANS•ana & patented TRANS•nova topologies are low voltage circuits used in the preamp stage of the Power amplifiers that let the music sound crystal clear and very real, even when played at high volume levels. This is matched with TOPAZ, a unique grounding circuit used to eliminate noise problems associated with car audio systems and their installation. The use of a protection circuit called NOMAD, along with MOSFET, DSM (Discrete Surface Mount) and innovative MEHSA heat dissipating technologies improves amplifier efficiency. The result of these components give the Power amplifier awesome sound quality in a “Bullet Proof” package.
