Channel Islands Audio D•500 Mk II Class D Monoblock Amplifiers :: High End Audio

The D•500 is the first in the new MKII line of products. This second generation amplifier builds on the heritage of the 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 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.
