The D•500 is the first of our new MKII line of products. This second generation amplifier builds on the heritage of our Award winning D•100 and D•200 models. Over 2 years of development have gone into this project to produce the best Class D audio amplifier available. This compact & energy efficient package produces over 500 watts into 8 ohms (800 watts into 4 ohms) and will drive most any loudspeaker with authority, musicality, and control.  The monaural design is housed in a beautiful new machined aluminum chassis with heavy steel frame plate to support the massive power transformer. Non-magnetic stainless steel hardware and highest quality parts are used throughout.  Our SmoothStart™ and XDC•2 circuits control AC power, while our DC board supplies the various output voltages required by the audio circuit. Signal input is handled by panel-mounted jacks for both single-ended RCA and balanced XLR connections. Turn-on is accomplished by the front-panel mute/play button, or remote 12v trigger (when used with PLC•1 MKII or other makes with this function). Adjustable 5-way binding posts are used for loudspeaker connection and can be configured for horizontal or vertical cable entry.  The audio circuit consists of an advanced full bridge UcD design for life-like music reproduction and offers unsurpassed performance, reliability, and efficiency. Due to the large heat-sink area and high efficiency, D•500 remains cool to the touch even at continuous high output levels. Protection from over-voltage and short-circuit conditions are provided.  Many manufacturers have introduced Class D designs but all have had their shortcomings, whether it be sound quality, safety, excessive EMI/RFI, or reliability. Due to new technology and careful design, we are now able to offer a product which realizes the full potential of switching amplifiers.  You can learn more about this new technology here UcD Technical Information SPECIFICATIONS:  Power Output: 500 watts @ 8 ohms/800 watts @ 4 ohms Bandwidth: 50kHz Frequency Response: 10Hz - 20kHz, +0dB/-0.5dB Damping Factor: >1000 Input Impedance: 100k ohms Gain: 38db (for use with VPC, PLC or other passive preamplifiers) or 32db (for use with active preamplifiers) Dimensions:8.5"w x 4.0"h x 13.5"d Weight: 28 lbs (each) Warranty: 1 Year Parts & Labor
