properties

  • The Sundown Audio SALT amplifiers represent the pinnacle of Korean Class-D amplifier technology. They stand on the shoulders of three previous generations of Korean high-end amplifiers from 15 years (the SAZ v.1, SAZ v.2, and SCV series) to achieve even higher performance. Our customers have been asking us for many years to produce amplifiers that deliver optimal performance at realistic operating voltages in the 12-volt range and not at 14+ volts. The SALT - Sundown Audio Low-Voltage Technology - series is our answer!
  • "Whether you are a world-class SPL competitor, a dedicated enthusiast, or simply a fan of sound quality, the SALT series will feel at home in your system. Each individual model has been designed with great attention to detail to ensure that they bring a smile to your face every time the music starts playing, and that they will last for many years to come."
  • Cosmetically, they deviate significantly from our original design, which is an external indicator of the improved performance level. The heatsink is the heaviest we have ever produced, has the largest surface area, and is finished in a striking titanium color. These amplifiers look as good as they sound, and once you hold one in your hands, the build quality is obvious. The icing on the cake is the revised remote control with temperature, voltage, and clipping indicators, allowing you to easily monitor the vital signs of your valuable audio system.

Frequently Asked Questions about SALT-12

What power does the Sundown Audio SALT-12 Amplifier provide at different Ohm values?

The Sundown Audio SALT-12 Amplifier is characterized by its impressive performance. At a 1 Ohm load, the amplifier delivers an RMS power of 12000 Watts x 1. When operated at 2 Ohms, you get a power output of 6000 Watts x 1. At 4 Ohms, the amplifier still offers a power of 3000 Watts x 1. These power specifications demonstrate the versatility and strength of the SALT-12, which is specifically designed for high loads and excels even in the most demanding audio systems. Its stability at a 1-Ohm load emphasizes the quality of this electronic component.

How efficiently does the Sundown Audio SALT-12 Amplifier operate?

The efficiency of the Sundown Audio SALT-12 Amplifier is an impressive 90%. This efficiency ensures that a large portion of the supplied electrical energy is converted into acoustic power, minimizing energy losses. This optimization not only makes operation more economical but also creates a lower susceptibility to overheating. This feature is particularly remarkable for an amplifier of this power class and ensures that you can use the amplifier at high volumes for extended periods without sacrificing performance or sound quality.

What filter options does the SALT-12 Amplifier offer?

The Sundown Audio SALT-12 is equipped with a variable subsonic crossover filter that can be set between 10 Hz and 50 Hz. Additionally, it features a variable low-pass filter that ranges from 35 Hz to 250 Hz. The ability to adjust these filters allows for precise control of the frequency ranges passed to your speakers. This flexibility enables you to fine-tune the sound exactly to your preferences and eliminate unwanted frequencies, which can be particularly beneficial for bass enthusiasts.

What can the remote control of the Sundown Audio SALT-12 do?

The revised remote control of the SALT-12 Amplifier comes with several key features. It not only displays the current voltage and temperature but also indicates any clipping. These displays allow you to keep an eye on the vital values of your audio system and ensure that the amplifier operates within optimal conditions at all times. These monitoring functions are valuable tools for maintaining the longevity and sound quality of the amplifier. The remote control also allows for convenient adjustments directly from the driver's or passenger's seat.

What are the physical dimensions of the SALT-12 Amplifier?

With a length of 96 cm, a width of 25.6 cm, and a height of 7.3 cm, the Sundown Audio SALT-12 is an impressive amplifier that can still be cleverly accommodated in many types of vehicles. When installing, it is important to ensure sufficient space for the heat sink and ventilation. These dimensions provide effective heat distribution, while the mounting options can be adapted to the available space in the vehicle. Especially in tighter spaces, it may be wise to carefully consider the setup and positioning to avoid impairing functionality.

What is the input sensitivity of the SALT-12 Amplifier?

The input sensitivity of the Sundown Audio SALT-12 Amplifier can be adjusted between 0.2 V and 6 V. This flexibility is important to ensure a lossless signal transmission from the preamplifier to the power amplifier. By adjusting the input sensitivity, distortion-free amplification can be ensured. This capability allows you to adapt the amplifier to various signal sources with different voltage levels, enabling seamless integration into a wide range of sound systems. The precise adjustment is ideally done with a signal level meter.

How can the phase shift of the amplifier be adjusted?

The Sundown Audio SALT-12 Amplifier features an adjustable phase shift control that allows you to vary the phase from 0 to 180 degrees. This function is crucial for fine-tuning the sound image, especially in complex multi-subwoofer configurations, to optimize phase correlations between the speakers.
