JL Audio 8 Channel Class D Full-Range Marine Amplifier With Integrated DSP - MV800/8i
$2,449.95 |
8-Channel Class D Full-Range Marine Amplifier with Integrated DSP, 100 W x 8 @ 2 Ω / 75 W x 8 @ 4 Ω - 14.4V
Engineered to deliver reference-grade audio performance in marine environments, every MVi amplifier unites our cutting-edge NexD2™ switching amplifier technology with an integrated, full-featured digital signal processor.
Outfitted with our second-generation NexD2™ technology, the MV800/8i produces up to 75 watts per channel into 4 ohms, or 100 watts into 2 ohms. It can also be bridged into 4 ohms, generating up to 200 W x 4.
The NexD2™ full-range technology in this amplifier is DSP-controlled and features a reduced loop area design utilizing DirectFET™ outputs for outstanding fidelity, very low noise and exceptional efficiency. Housed in a compact, cast alloy chassis with marine-grade powder coat finish, the MV800/8i is outfitted with corrosion-resistant hardware and connectors.
Instead of traditional control knobs and switches, all amplifier adjustments and DSP functionality are configured via a compatible external device (PC, Tablet or Smartphone), with the appropriate JL Audio TüN® Software application installed.
Amplifier includes: Power Connector (for 2 AWG wire), Speaker Output Harnesses (4), 6 ft A/B USB Cable
