Wet Sounds Sinister SDX 2500 Owner’s Manual
CONGRATULATIONS!
Thank you for purchasing the Wet Sounds Sinister
TM
Series amplifier. Wet Sounds
Sinister series of marine amplifiers represents the pinnacle in 12 volt amplifier
design.
The Sinister™ amplifiers are the highest power to size amplifiers anywhere in the
world for marine use. The Sinister
TM
amplifiers use superior performance circuitry
by utilizing Wet Sounds exclusive Class D technology combined with Wet Sounds
MAXED™ Power supply. The MAXED power supply is a patent pending technology
designed to provide high efficiency levels never thought to be achievable in a
mobile audio amplifier. What this means to you. Less current draw, less strain on
the electrical system, less generated heat. All this results in more play time!
All Sinister amplifiers feature a fully conformal coated 4 layer pcb board, single
side power, speaker and input section, and top mounted controls with removable
cover. Sinister
TM
amplifiers have a back lit Wet Sounds shield logo with selectable
illumination for red, white or blue that can be mounted horizontally or vertically for
flexible amplifier placement.
The Sinister
TM
amplifiers are not only extremely powerful but also intelligent
with a built in microprocessor controller for overvoltage protection, undervoltage
protection, DC offset and speaker short protection, as well as thermal rollback to
ensure consistent play in the harsh marine environment. One of the most amazing
aspects of the Sinister
TM
amplifiers design is the efficiency rating. The SDX2500
achieves an efficiency rating at full 4 ohm rated power of over 87%. This translates
into less current draw and less generated heat. Over twice that of a conventional
class AB amplifier.
