JL Audio Introduces New A-Series Amplifiers
That Are Ahead of the Curve
February, 15, 2006

Miramar, FL—January 2006—JL Audio is proud to announce a new series of amplifiers that deliver the best value to date for JL Audio customers. Designed by four of the most experienced 12-volt engineering minds in car audio today: Bruce Macmillan-Sr. Design Engineer; Keith Harbaugh, Dan Borzone and David Krich, these high performance amplifiers are packed with value and offer many of the same technologies integrated into JL Audio’s highly regarded “Slash” series.

• Advanced Rollback Protection System–advanced thermal and low-impedance protection to virtually eliminate annoying amplifier shut-down events because of the intelligent, unregulated power supply which limits available peak voltage until the amplifier returns to a safe temperature range. If the impedance is lower than optimum for the amplifier is present at the outputs, the A Series amplifier will roll back peak voltage to protect itself without shutting down.

High Mass, High Integrity Chassis Design—Rock-solid aluminum chassis extrusion offers significantly more mass and surface area to dramatically improve thermal performance.

Absolute Symmetry Cass A/B Amplifier Circuits—This revolutionary Class A/B patented circuit invented by JL Audio’s Sr. Design Engineer Bruce Macmillan, employs pairs of identical N-Channel MOSFET transistors while retaining true buffering from the load impedance. This results in less distortion at lower impedances and cleaner sound.

• Patented Class D Amplifier Circuits—Another Bruce Macmillan design is the patented Class D output circuit utilizing a discrete control section and a unique feedback loop design that eliminates the compromises due to weak damping of the driven load and poor power regulation which Class D amplifiers are typically known for. The result is tight, clean bass reproduction and vastly improved electrical efficiency.

• Real-World Power Specifications—JL Audio believes that their customers deserve to know what level of clean power to realistically expect in a real-world installation. For this reason, power ratings for all A-Series amplifiers are derived at 12.5 volts, which the company considers to be far more realistic vehicle voltage than the 14.4 volt standard now in common use.

Lastly, the A-Series amplifiers feature Intelligent Input Sections featuring JL Audio’s differential-balanced input architecture which effectively controls noise and ensures compatibility with a wide variety of source units, including most OEM systems.

Availability: JL Audio plans to ship the new A Series amplifiers in April 2006.
