Amplifiers
Amplifiers 2007 Amplifier Line Overview Clarion amplifiers were designed from the ground up to compliment one-another in terms of features, performance and design. The 2007 amplifier line takes a three tiered approach to features, technology and design.
Amplifiers – Technologies output - called channel imbalance. This is due to variances and tolerance limitations on the potentiometer used to make the adjustment. IVS dramatically reduces channel imbalance by implementing three gain ranges, 0-0.6v, 0.6-2v, 28v. The result is a reduction in maximum potential channel imbalance, better imaging and a more accurate soundstage.
Amplifiers – Technologies multi-voltage power supply. The result is tight, controlled, dynamic power output with excellent amplifier efficiency. How does Class G work? Think of the new Dodge Hemi or Cadillac Northstar engines. These engines have the ability to shut down a number of cylinders to reduce fuel comsumption and heat generation under light loads. The power supply of a Class G amplifiers works in exactly the same way. When you aren’t cranking on the amp, the power supply rail voltage turns down.
Amplifiers – Technologies Multi-Channel Amplifiers Gold-Plated RCA Connectors Clarion’s multi-channel amplifiers provide four channels of amplification from one chassis and are equipped with on-board high-pass/low-pass electronic crossovers. This configuration provides maximum system flexibility. For example, the front channels can drive full-range speakers with front crossovers off, while rear channels are set to low-pass and bridged to drive a single subwoofer.
