The RF 5.3x is a 5-channel amplifier with four stereo channels and a single bridged/mono channel for accommodating “single amplifier” system designs at a competitive price. Since this manual provides information on the features, installation and operation of the Rockford Fosgate 5.3x amplifier, we suggest you save it for future reference.

We strongly recommend you have your Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer install your new Rockford Fosgate amplifier. If you do choose to install your amplifier yourself, please be sure to read the entire manual before beginning.

TECHNICAL DESIGN FEATURES

◆TRANS•ANA

(TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier)

The TRANS•ANA (TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier) is a circuit that allows the audio signal to pass through the amplifier at low voltage. The signal is directly level-shifted to the fixed high voltage rails via a pair of driver transistors. Signal linearity is assured by an active node formed by the drive transistors at ultrasonic frequencies. This allows amplifier performance similar to trans•nova which is highly stable and linear while utilizing the advantages of a non- floating power supply.

THE RESULT: An extended frequency bandwidth accurately supplied to the output stages of the amplifier.
