JL Audio A-Series Monoblock Mobile Amplifier, Model A1800

The value-packed A-Series amplifiers feature the same patented Class D and Class A/B output technologies as the flagship "Slash" amplifiers. The primary difference is that "A-Series" amplifiers employ a more conventional unregulated PWM switching power supply instead of the R.I.P.S. design used in the Slash models.

Features:

  • Patented Absolute Symmetry™ A/B Circuitry
    (U.S. Patent #6,294,959)
    The full-range models employ this patented technology which reduces distortion and improves power symmetry.
  • Patented Class D Circuitry
    (U.S. Patent #6,441,685)
    The subwoofer amplifiers feature a patented Class D circuit for outstanding efficiency, stability and fidelity.
  • Active Crossover Features
    Fully variable 12dB/octave filters with detented filter frequency selection controls offer excellent tuning flexibility.
  • Preamp Outputs
    Pass-through pre-amp outputs permit interconnection of multiple amplifiers (except e6450).
  • Bass Control Features
    Bass boost circuits are included on all models and can be operated with or without a remote bass controller.
  • Differential-Balanced Inputs
    Greatly reduce noise and provide compatibility with a wide range of sources, including most OEM systems.
  • Advanced Rollback Protection
    Borrowing a page from the “Slash” amplifiers’ bag of tricks, the A-Series amplifiers employ advanced thermal and low-impedance protection to virtually eliminate annoying amplifier shut-down events.
