POWERFUL. COMPACT. INCREDIBLE VALUE.

With NexD™ technology, XDM amplifiers achieve total amplifier efficiencies exceeding 80%. This results in reduced energy use, making them much kinder to your electrical system.

• MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS TO FIT NEARLY ANYWHERE
• EXCLUSIVE INPUT FILTER FOR AMAZING AUDIO ON LAND OR SEA
• EFFICIENT DESIGN FOR HIGH OUTPUT USES LESS ENERGY
• FULL SUITE OF STUDIO-GRADE SIGNAL PROCESSING ON BOARD
• UNIQUE DESIGN ADJUSTS OPERATION TO AVOID THERMAL EVENTS

FIDELITY FOR ALL

Our exclusive dual-mode input filter and differential-balanced inputs result in outstanding noise rejection and crystal-clear audio performance in boats or cars.

EQUIPPED WITH NexD

Advanced switching technology for exceptional efficiency reduces current draw and heat, permitting reliable high-power output from a compact and easy-to-install chassis.

STUDIO-GRADE SIGNAL PROCESSING

Beneath every XDM amplifier’s sealed security cover, you’ll find audiophile-grade signal processing with fully variable filters and calibrated potentiometers.

ADVANCED ROLLBACK PROTECTION

Innovative circuit design ensures the amplifier will never shut down due to thermal overload and keeps the music playing, even under the most demanding conditions.

AUTO TURN-ON CAPABILITIES

Choose from 3 options: auto signal sensing with +12-volt remote out; auto DC-offset sensing with +12-volt remote out; or conventional +12 volt turn-on lead.

BUILT TOUGH

The all-aluminum, powder-coated housing inhibits corrosion, and a sealed security cover protects controls from the elements.
