The IQ1500 is   capable of generating high sound 
pressure levels. You should exercise caution when 
operating  this  amplifier  system.  Long  term 

exposures  to  high  levels  of  sound  pressure  will  cause 
permanent  damage  to  your  hearing.    Sound  pressure  levels 
exceeding 85dB can be dangerous with constant exposure. Set 
your audio system to a comfortable loudness level. Earthquake 
Sound  Corporation  does  not  assume  liability    for  damages 
resulting from the direct use of the IQ1500 , and urges users to 
play the IQ1500  at moderate listening levels.

Congratulations  and  thank  you  for  choosing  the  new  Earthquake 
Subwoofer Power Amplifier as a key component for your audiophile system. 
The 

 amplifier is designed to meet the highest standards of performance 

and sound quality. In addition Earthquake Sound’s IQ certification and patented 
Class  “J”  circuitry  ensure  that  the  amplifier  meets  and  exceeds  all  industry 
standards. The new 

 amplifiers include many unique technologies that 

allow it to deliver “World Class” performance, even under extreme operating 
conditions. 

The 

is a ruggedly constructed high quality professional amplifier. The 

Digital  feedback  class  “J”  Circuitry,  allows  the  amplifier  to  produce  massive 
amounts of power with minimal heat production. This patented circuitry delivers 
high efficiency in the range of 99%- The typical class AB amplifier runs at about 
40 to 50%.

The 

offers  a  room  correction  technique  that  surpasses  that  of  all 

previous attempts. The intelligent   “Back EMF” drive circuit interacts with the 
subwoofer design and memorizes system tuning frequencies and system type. 
The information which is stored in microprocessor turns on a preset group delay 
curve that serves as a correction reference. This information deals only with 
time correction that moves the peaks and the dips in a room to a flat. Once that is 
achieved the user will resort to the final correction- EQ the room. For that reason 
Earthquake’s 

  is  truly  an  intelligent  system.  20Hz,  30Hz  and  40Hz 

frequencies can be cut or boosted by a whopping 6dB, these corrections help in 
producing wider range of listening position that is unprecedented for the room.

(Note: boosting the response at 20Hz is very demanding for your subwoofer. 
Consult  with  your  subwoofer  maker,  and  determine  if  their  subwoofer  is 
designed to take a boost at such low frequencies.)
