GS Audio Competition Series GS-18000.1 Datasheet

Frequently Asked Questions about Competition Series GS-18000.1


What RMS power does the GS Audio Competition Series GS-18000.1 provide at different impedances and voltages?

The GS Audio Competition Series GS-18000.1 delivers impressive RMS power levels that vary depending on impedance and applied voltage. At 1 Ohm and 14.4V, it reaches 18,050 Watts RMS, which is exceptional performance for high-end audio systems. At 2 Ohms, the RMS power at 14.4V is 14,330 Watts, while at 4 Ohms it offers 9,120 Watts RMS. These power specifications make the GS-18000.1 a powerful solution for demanding audiophiles seeking the highest sound quality and impact in their sound system.

How does the highly durable aluminum die-cast heat sink of the GS-18000.1 ensure effective heat dissipation?

The GS-18000.1 is equipped with a highly durable aluminum die-cast heat sink that ensures efficient heat dissipation. By using aluminum die-casting, a larger surface area is created, which distributes and dissipates heat more effectively. This allows the Class D Amplifier to operate stably and reliably even under high load and maximum power, without overheating. The robust construction of the heat sink also contributes to the longevity and reliability of the amplifier by maintaining a constant operating temperature.

What protection circuits are integrated into the GS Audio Competition Series GS-18000.1 and how do they protect the system?

The GS-18000.1 is equipped with the T.D.O.S. protection circuit, which includes multiple protection mechanisms. T.D.O.S. stands for Thermal, Differential, Overcurrent, and Shortcircuit protection. This protection circuit continuously monitors the operating conditions of the amplifier and responds to overheating, overcurrent, or short circuits by limiting power output or shutting down the amplifier. This prevents damage to the components and ensures that the entire audio system operates safely and reliably, even under extreme operating conditions.

How are the power connections of the GS-18000.1 designed and what advantages do 4x100mm² connections offer?

The GS Audio Competition Series GS-18000.1 features four 100mm² power connections that ensure a high power supply for the Amplifier. These large connections minimize electrical resistance and allow for a stable and efficient power supply, even under maximum load of up to 1600A. The robust design of the connections also ensures a reliable connection and reduces the risk of voltage loss or overheating. This is particularly important for the performance and longevity of the Amplifier in demanding audio systems.

What efficiency values does the Class D Amplifier GS-18000.1 achieve at 1 Ohm, 2 Ohm, and 4 Ohm, and what does that mean for performance?

The GS-18000.1 Class D Amplifier is characterized by high efficiency values that vary depending on the load impedance. At 1 Ohm, the efficiency is over 85%, at 2 Ohm over 87%, and at 4 Ohm over 90%. These high efficiency values mean that the Amplifier converts a large portion of the electrical energy consumed into audible power, which reduces heat generation and ensures stable power output. This is particularly advantageous for operation under high load and contributes to energy savings and the longevity of the system.

What are the dimensions and weight of the GS Audio Competition Series GS-18000.1, and how does this affect installation in different vehicles?

The GS-18000.1 measures 620mm in width, 225mm in depth, and 70mm in height, and weighs 9 kg. These compact dimensions allow for flexible installation in a variety of vehicle types, as the Amplifier can be installed in a space-saving manner. The moderate weight also facilitates handling during installation. Thanks to its robust yet slim design, the GS-18000.1 fits easily into tight spaces while providing enough power to deliver optimal sound experiences in different vehicle configurations.

How do the HPF and LPF filters work in the GS-18000.1, and what frequency ranges are adjustable?

The GS Audio Competition Series GS-18000.1 is equipped with High-Pass Filters (HPF) and Low-Pass Filters (LPF) that allow for precise adjustment of the frequency range. The HPF passes frequencies between 15 and 80 Hz with a slope of 12 dB, reducing low-frequency interference. The LPF, on the other hand, controls the passband between 40 Hz and 10 kHz also with a slope of 12 dB to attenuate unwanted high frequencies. These filter settings allow you to tailor the sound profile exactly to your listening preferences and the acoustic conditions of your system.

What input sensitivity does the GS-18000.1 offer and how does it affect the output signal?

The GS-18000.1 features an adjustable input sensitivity of 0.2 to 6 volts, allowing for flexible adaptation to various source devices. A higher input sensitivity can amplify the output signal, thereby increasing the overall performance of the system. At the same time, the amplifier provides a signal-to-noise ratio of over 86 dB, ensuring clear and distortion-free sound reproduction. This combination of adjustable input sensitivity and high signal-to-noise ratio allows you to precisely tune the audio system to your needs and achieve optimal sound quality.

How does the Bass Boost of the GS Audio Competition Series GS-18000.1 support sound reproduction and which frequencies are adjustable?

The Bass Boost of the GS-18000.1 allows you to specifically enhance the deep bass component of your music to create a fuller and more dynamic sound profile. With an adjustment range of 0 to 12 dB, you can set the intensity of the Bass Boost according to your preferences. Additionally, the Bass Boost frequency is adjustable between 35 and 70 Hz, allowing you to precisely tailor the specific low ranges you want to enhance. This flexibility ensures that the Bass Boost can be optimally tuned to different music styles and sound systems to individually enhance the listening experience.

What current draw can the GS-18000.1 achieve and what fuses are recommended for optimal performance?

The GS Audio Competition Series GS-18000.1 has a maximum current draw of 1600 Amperes and an average current draw between 500 and 800 Amperes. To safely handle these high currents, GS Audio recommends using two 600A fuses, which effectively regulate the current flow and protect against overloads. These fuses contribute to the stability of the system and prevent damage to the amplifier's electrical components. By following these recommendations, you ensure that the GS-18000.1 operates reliably and safely under all operating conditions.
