Cicada Audio 1600W Mono Full-Range Amplifier - FLX1600.1
Cicada Audio FLX1600.1 1600W Mono Full-Range Amplifier
Cicada Audio's FLX1600.1 is a 1600W x 1 mono full-range power amplifier that concentrates its output in one channel while preserving broad frequency coverage. The headline configuration is rated at 1 x 1600 WRMS into 2 ohms at 14.4 Vdc. Its published power table also lists 1 x 1250 WRMS into 2 ohms at 12.5 Vdc, plus 4-ohm ratings of 1 x 950 WRMS at 14.4 Vdc and 1 x 670 WRMS at 12.5 Vdc. These ratings provide clear output figures for multiple electrical and load conditions.
As a full-range design, the amplifier has a published frequency response of 10-20,000 +/- 3dB with THD below 0.5%. Signal handling can be shaped through a high-pass crossover adjustable from 10 to 80Hz and a low-pass crossover adjustable from 80 to 20kHz, with a 12dB-per-octave slope. A gain range of 0.2V to 12 Vac adds flexibility when matching the amplifier to the input signal.
The FLX1600.1 operates from 9V to 16V and supports REM or DC turn-on configuration. Published electrical figures include 70A current draw with music, 140A maximum current draw and a recommended 100A fuse. Total efficiency is rated at 80%, while a damping factor of 200, an 86dB signal-to-noise ratio and 0.1% THD + N at 10% rated power further define performance. Its compact chassis measures 9.2 x 4.9 x 2 in, or 233.68 x 124 x 51 mm. Installation requires 4 AWG Power Wire - HDPG4K.1
