Maxed Power Supply
Wet Sounds Sinister amplifiers use a unique patent pending transformer design we
call MAXED that is the first of its kind in the mobile/marine audio market. Making
the Sinister amplifiers one of the most efficient amplifiers ever built. Wet Sounds
took it a step farther by through bolting the transformer to the heat sink and not just
the pcb, resulting in a heat sink that dissipates heat from the output side as well as
the transformer. This advanced construction method also results in a more robust
build method for the rugged marine market.
Thermal Rollback Technology
Wet Sounds thermal rollback circuit monitors the Sinister
TM
amplifiers temperature
and adjusts the amplifiers output. The Sinister amplifiers are extremely efficient.
However, marine use is the most demanding application of a 12 volt amplifier. There
are times when extended listening combined with high ambient temperatures and
a tight mounting can make even the most efficient amplifier work overtime. We
designed the thermal rollback circuit to be automatic and seamless. The amplifier
will roll its peak power output so it can lower its operating temperature. What this
means for you is more play time and not having your amplifier go into thermal
protection right when they party is going great.
Advanced Intelligent Microprocessor Control
Think of it as a tiny supercomputer constantly monitoring everything and protecting
itself from harm. The Microprocessor will put the amplifier into protection if it senses
an over voltage situation or a under voltage situation or DC offset. If you damage
a speaker or have a shorted wire. The amplifier will also put itself into protection.
And if you go past the thermal rollback circuit, the amplifier has a second level of
protection from heat and will shut itself down.
Top mounted crossover controls
Wet Sounds designed the Sinister amplifier from the ground up as a true marine
amplifier. Marine amplifiers are mounted to amp panels in a boat. Making it harder
to access the controls. The sinister amplifiers have all the controls on the top for
easy access and adjustments once the amplifier is mounted.
