MOSFET Power Supply

Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor is a transistor used for amplifying or switching electronic signals. We use it in our computers, our telephones, game consoles, cars, electrical appliances, and in this case, our amplifiers. They are found in systems where information is processed or stored. A MOSFET is basically an electrical switch that allows the flow of electrical current. An electrical switch has two possible states, ON or OFF. This is where the MOSFET performs its most important role in our D Class amplifiers by allowing or preventing the flow of power and creating an efficient amplifier.

Tri-Mode Operation

Using tri-mode on a capable amplifier is a way to maximize the potential of a two-channel car amplifier. With the ability to drive a pair of speakers and a subwoofer, tri-mode is an affordable way to get a powerful two-channel car stereo. The advantages of using a single amplifier include lower amperage requirements from the vehicle's charging system and less physical space needed for an amplifier installation. Regardless of the reasons, setting an amplifier to tri-mode is a viable mobile audio installation solution.

Low And High Level Inputs

The IPM series amplifiers have two different ways that you can get a signal into it. One is called low level input and the other is called high level input. A low level input is measured in voltages. It comes in the form of RCA outputs from the back of your receiver and goes to the RCA inputs on your amplifier. A high level input is measure in wattages. It comes in the form one positive and one negative wire from the back of your receiver to and goes to the input terminal of your amplifier in the same wire form.Low-level (RCA) input wiring is preferred for best audio performance. Always use a high-quality RCA cable for best audio performance. NOTE: Do not connect BOTH the high level and low level inputs from your receiver to your amplifier at the same time!

Bridgeable

Auto amplifiers increase power from the stereo to the speakers. Each channel of an amplifier is designed to power one speaker. Some amplifiers, called mono amps, have only one channel. Audiophiles (A person enthusiastic about high-fidelity sound reproduction) often use a mono amp to drive a single subwoofer, but there is a way to connect two amplifier channels to a single subwoofer. This is called bridging the amp, and it dramatically increases the power output to the subwoofer.

Variable Low-Pass Crossover

Subwoofers reproduce sound based on a number of different low-range frequencies. This process is called the crossover effect and occurs because the vast majority of audio systems cannot cover the entire spectrum sufficiently to minimize sound distortion and maintain an appropriate frequency ratio. In the case of our IMP1000.2 amplifier, a variable crossover is offered so that you, the listener, can have the ability to set the frequency at which the crossover occurs, thereby setting specific sound specifications for the bass frequency reproduction.

Variable High-Pass Crossover

Speakers also reproduce sound based on high, low or, mid-range frequencies. High pass crossovers are geared specifically towards “highs” such as all size speakers, mid ranges, and tweeters and in the same way as the low-pass crossover setting specific sound specifications such as the bass, mid-range and high frequency reproduction.
