The C.L.E.A.N. circuit in the Rockford Fosgate Prime M2-500X1 allows for precise adjustment of the gain settings by monitoring the input and output signal levels. Clip detection and LED indicators provide real-time information to avoid distortion. This technology optimizes signal transmission and minimizes distortion, which is particularly crucial at an output power of 500 watts at 2Ω. Utilizing C.L.E.A.N. technology means that the amplifier is capable of mastering a diverse audio environment while delivering a clean, undistorted sound, even when the device reaches its performance limits.
The Class-D technology of the Prime M2-500X1 offers significant advantages, including increased efficiency that minimizes the energy consumption of the electrical system. This topology generates less heat and therefore convinces with a more compact design. The power output is up to 500 watts at 2Ω, with a total harmonic distortion of less than 1%. This efficiency leads to lower current draw and enables use in vehicles with a limited electrical system. Additionally, it supports applications that require high output levels over extended periods without overloading the associated equipment.
The integrated Punch-EQ of the M2-500X1 boosts frequencies at 45 Hz by up to +18 dB, contributing to the correction of acoustic deficiencies and intensifying the bass range. This feature is ideal if you prefer bass frequencies, as it allows for flexible adjustment of the sound balance. The Punch-EQ is adjustable on the top of the amplifier, making it easy to adapt to different music genres and listening preferences. The Punch-EQ works in conjunction with the variable filter settings to produce a clear and dynamic sound, which also improves sound quality at low levels.
The Rockford Fosgate Prime M2-500X1 is equipped with a variety of protection mechanisms to ensure the operation and longevity of the amplifier. This includes short circuit and overcurrent protection, which prevents damage from unforeseen electrical events. Additionally, a conformally coated circuit board construction increases protection against dust and water, especially in outdoor use. These protective measures are complemented by rollback-capable protection in case of thermal overload. The robust aluminum heat sink ensures efficient heat dissipation and helps to protect the sensitive internal components from overheating.
The Prime M2-500X1 features fully adjustable high-pass and low-pass Butterworth crossovers with a slope of 12 dB/octave. The low-pass filter is adjustable between 50 Hz and 250 Hz, while the infrasonic filter is adjustable from 15 Hz to 40 Hz. These filters allow for optimal tuning of the output signal to your speaker and subwoofer compatibility. The configurable settings support customized sound profiles and adapt the output to specific audio systems, ensuring high sound accuracy and minimal loss of audio quality.
The RCA pass-thru outputs of the M2-500X1 allow for signal output to additional amplifiers, supporting an expansion of the audio system. Whether operated with low-level or high-level inputs, the signals remain unchanged, increasing the signal bandwidth without affecting the sound. This connectivity option is particularly valuable when you want to use multiple amplifiers in a complex audio installation. It enables cascading within a system to deliver a consistent and synchronized audio signal to all components without compromising quality.
The Prime M2-500X1 operates with compression-based speaker output connections that support cable cross-sections of up to 10mm². These allow for a secure, current-maximizing connection to avoid line losses. The 2Ω stability of the amplifier optimizes performance for various speaker configurations. The input dependency on low-level and high-level signals enables flexible integration into existing systems. With balanced differential inputs, it minimizes noise picked up from signal cables, ensuring uncolored sound reproduction. These features enhance the compatibility of the M2-500X1 for networks of complex audio systems.
The Prime M2-500X1 is versatile due to an operating voltage of 9 to 16 VDC. This voltage flexibility, combined with a recommended fuse value of 80 A, is not only significant for adaptation needs but is particularly ideal for use in vehicles with varying voltage conditions. The amplifier draws maximum currents of up to 52 A at full sine load. The aluminum die-cast heat sink ensures lasting performance through effective cooling, even at high power output, making it infinitely versatile for different musical requirements in mobile use.
Yes, the Prime M2-500X1 includes an RLC remote control. This remote allows for easy adjustment of the bass level directly from the driver's seat, which is particularly practical while driving to customize the sound balance according to music genres and preferences. With the remote, you can dynamically increase or decrease the bass intensity without having to manually change the amplifier settings. This enhances usability and ensures an unchanged sound experience, according to your current preferences and the demands of your favorite music.
The compactness of the Rockford Fosgate Prime M2-500X1 is underscored by its dimensions of 4.9 cm x 17.3 cm x 21.5 cm. This allows for installation in various vehicle models, even with limited space. The easy integration is ensured by its defined design, which offers flexible installation options. For example, if you have space in the trunk or under the seat, the amplifier could be installed there. Its low height also allows for installation in less conventional locations while remaining protected against external influences thanks to the Element Ready™ design.
