One of the most technologically advanced subwoofer amplifiers on the market
today! The Dayton Audio SPA500 subwoofer amplifier is based on a
state-of-the-art Class-G circuit topology that combines the proven high power,
high fidelity characteristics of a Class-AB amplifier with a patented tracking
down converter power supply to achieve an operating efficiency up to 86%. You
get the efficiency of a Class-D amplifier without compromising audio quality and
reliability. The Class-AB output stage provides the clean and low-distortion
sound that audiophiles demand, without any of the instability problems that
plague other high-efficiency amplifier designs.
This American-designed and engineered amplifier uses patented circuitry
that continuously tracks the input signal to modulate or control the voltage
available to the output stage. This "tracking" capability delivers the exact
amount of power based on demand instead of constantly keeping it in reserve, so
the output stage only draws the amount of power that is required at any given
time. Less energy is wasted as heat, and more power is available for the
subwoofer driver. With its enhanced thermal management, the SPA500 is an upgrade
over previous models—making it a nearly bulletproof amplifier choice for today's
demanding HT audio and music playback applications.
