Features
Here are some of the features that make the Epicenter 600 and 1200
amplifiers very unique and unlike any other amplifiers:
• Superior Sound Quality
Pristine sonics happens first in all AudioControl designs and
is not compromised by any other feature. (You often get the
feeling that sound quality is an afterthought with products from
other companies.)
• High Power Levels
The high-efficiency Class D monoblock subwoofer amplifier is a
high-current design, capable of driving subwoofer loads down to
1 Ohm impedance.
The output power of the Epicenter 600 is 600 Watts into 1 Ohm,
and the Epicenter 1200 is 1200 Watts into 1 Ohm.
•
Unparalleled Energy Efficiency
Whether from the point of view of reducing current draw, or
from the viewpoint of less heat in the trunk, the Epicenter 600
and 1200 subwoofer amplifiers have no equal. They are VERY
energy efficient during operation.
•
The Epicenter Bass Restoration
The Epicenter Sweep and Epicenter Width controls allow you to
restore any low frequencies that may be affected by the vehicle
acoustics, speaker and enclosure design and location, and the
performance recording process.
• MILC™ Maximum Input Level Control
The Epicenter amplifier analyses the incoming audio signals and
detects any signal clipping. This gives you the chance to optimize
the audio signal levels going in to the Epicenter amplifier.
•
ACR-3 Wired Remote
This dash-mounted remote allows easy adjustment of the output
level, and the level of the Epicenter bass restoration.
• Self Resetting Protection Features
Protection features are extensive and include thermal, short cir-
cuit, clipping, under voltage, over voltage, and DC offset among
others. If the fault is removed, the unit may reset. The protection
LED flashes with various codes that indicate the fault detected.
•
Pacific Northwest Heritage
The engineers who designed this amplifier are native
Northwesterners, steeped and learned in the long and impres-
sive audio engineering history of Washington State, and all able
to reach their catch limit during razor-clam digging season. We
are very proud of that fact. What is more important is the care we
craft in at every step, and the extensive knowledge we have in all
aspects of the product. Plus, we back this up with a conditional
five year warranty.
