JL Audio MHD900/5-24V 5 Ch. 900 Watt Amplifier – #98229

JL Audio MHD900/5-24V 5 Ch. 900 Watt Amplifier – #98229

Dive into the world of marine audio excellence with the JL Audio MHD900/5-24V 5 Ch. 900 Watt Amplifier – #98229. Specifically designed for 24V systems, this 5-channel Class D marine system amplifier is a compact powerhouse, delivering 100 W x 4 to its main channels and a robust 500 W x 1 to the subwoofer channel.

Compact Brilliance for Marine Environments

Thanks to its unique design as a "one-box solution," the MHD900/5-24V is perfect for installations where space is a premium, but uncompromising sound quality is a must. This remarkable amplifier can effortlessly drive a complete high-performance marine audio system, featuring four satellite speaker systems and a subwoofer system, all powered by a formidable 900 watts of sheer audio prowess.

Cutting-Edge Technology: Single Cycle Control and R.I.P.S

The MHD900/5-24V incorporates cutting-edge technology to ensure pristine amplification. With Single Cycle Control switching design, this amplifier tracks the audio signal, compares it to the real PWM waveform, and corrects it in every cycle, over 400,000 times per second. This non-linear control method cancels out distortion-causing mechanisms, ensuring an unparalleled audio experience. The addition of R.I.P.S technology allows the amplifier to deliver high power across a wide range of load impedances, while tight power supply regulation keeps distortion at bay, maximizing overall sound quality.

Marine-Ready Durability

Crafted with marine environments in mind, this amplifier features white and gray powder-coat finishes, a gasketed cover for controls, and stainless steel hardware for durability against the harsh marine conditions. It's engineered for vessels with 24-volt, negative-ground electrical systems, ensuring optimal performance without compromise.

Why Choose JL Audio MHD900/5-24V for Your Marine Audio System?

With all the ambient noise on the water, including wind, engines, and chattering friends, having a marine amplifier becomes essential. The MHD900/5-24V ensures your music is not just audible but commands attention. Marine amplifiers are purpose-built for the challenging boating environment, outperforming regular car amplifiers in durability and performance.

Single Cycle Control: Unmatched Amplification Precision

Single Cycle Control is not just a buzzword; it's a unique approach to controlling a full-range Class D amplifier. Monitoring the switched variable on a cycle-by-cycle basis, it accurately tracks the input signal, eliminating distortion-causing problems. This results in outstanding efficiency (80% at 1/2 rated power for the whole amplifier) and 60% less current draw compared to a typical Class A/B car amplifier of equal power.

Elevating Efficiency and Reducing Heat

The tremendous efficiency advantage of Single Cycle Control leads to less generated heat, allowing the MHD900/5-24V to have a chassis size about 1/4 the size of a similarly powerful Class A/B design. This not only enhances performance but also contributes to the longevity of the amplifier.

Unmatched Performance: Why JL Audio HD Stands Out

While there might be less expensive ways to create a full-range switching amplifier, no other Class D control system works faster or more accurately than Single Cycle Control™. The JL Audio HD series is a testament to unparalleled performance and innovation in the world of mobile audio amplifiers.

Unleashing the Power of Sound

In the realm of marine audio amplifiers, the JL Audio MHD900/5-24V stands as a beacon of excellence. Its compact design, cutting-edge technology, and marine-ready durability make it a top choice for enthusiasts who demand uncompromising audio quality on the open water. With Single Cycle Control and R.I.P.S technology, this amplifier not only delivers power but does so with unmatched precision and efficiency.
