The new D•100 Class D Monoblock represents the latest in
switching amplifier technology and sets a new standard in
cost versus performance.
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.

In our new D Series, we have addressed and eliminated these
shortcomings and improved the performance to better any
other design we've tested...their sound quality is on par
with the best amplifiers in the world. From a solid and
mighty bottom end, through smooth and textured midrange, to
sweet extended highs with a great sense of air and space,
these amplifiers produce sound matched only by the most
expensive.
Power supply circuitry utilizes a large custom toroidial
transformer in conjunction with large capacitor banks to
produce the power to drive the highly efficient amplifier
section. High current capability and low output impedance
allow the D•100 to drive difficult loads with excellent
control, producing 100 watts into 8 ohms and 175 watts into
4 ohms. The mute function puts the amplifier in a standby
mode, allowing critical circuitry to be kept powered and
eliminate any warmup period. Being over 90% efficient means
the amplifier runs cool and extends the life of all
internal components, and built-in safety features protect
it from shorted speaker cables and components. Built to
last a lifetime, our compact amplifier is housed in a heavy
gauge steel chassis with 3/16" brushed and anodized
aluminum front and rear panels, secured by stainless steel
hardware, with highest quality gold plated speaker binding
posts.
Available with Neutrik single-ended RCA or balanced
XLR input, and your choice of gain (26dB/32dB).
