Rockford Fosgate P500X1BD Punch Mono Amplifier

CEA-2006 Compliant

Power ratings on Rockford Fosgate amplifiers conform to CEA-2006 industry standards. These guidelines mean your amplifier's output power ratings are REAL POWER numbers, not inflated marketing ratings.

CE Compliant

This product fulfills all essential safety and environmental requirements as defined in the European Directives (768/2008 EC).

TRANS•ana

An award winning studio quality circuit borrowed from the pro audio company Hafler. TRANS-ana is a sound quality circuit that is a standard in the recording industry that simplifies the signal path of the amplifier, allowing the signal to travel through the amplifier at a low voltage. The result: Greater reliability, cleaner performance and exceptional musicality, speed, and durability.

• Simplifies signal path
• Greater reliability
• Exceptional sound quality

Balanced Differential Inputs

Differential inputs eliminate noise picked up by signal cables.

Differential input circuitry measures the voltage of both the (+) and (-) input signal. The circuitry subtracts the voltage common to both conductors (noise) resulting in only the clean signal. This allows only clean signal to enter the amplifier.

Rockford Fosgate Avatar

These Avatars are a personal signature from the Rockford Fosgate team member who designed and engineered this fanatic product. This statement illustrates our commitment to being Designed and Engineered in the U.S.A.

C.L.E.A.N. Set-Up

U.S. Patent 8712066

Patented circuit with in/out clip LEDs to help match a source to amp and optimize output.

Class-BD

Rockford Fosgate bd topology is a revolutionary patented design (#6,097,249), integrating a technology that is more efficient than typical class AB and has lower distortion than class D designs. POWER bd amplifiers are 75-80% efficient vs. 20-60% efficient class ab amplifiers. What does that mean... It means, more power from your amplifier with less drain on your vehicles electrical and charging system.

DTM

Heat is often inefficiently dissipated across a heatsink causing "hot spots". This impacts important design goals, which are:

• Keeping internal components cool.
• Maximizing potential of all components.
• Reducing distortion for better sound quality.
• Increasing efficiency to produce more power.

DSM

DSM utilize 1% tight-tolerances improving efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature.

DSM - An industry-leading manufacturing process, DSM utilizes high-speed robotics, high-quality 1% tight-tolerance parts and large board traces. The discrete components are laser etched to meet a particular value and a very low tolerance. This lower tolerance improves the efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature. These superior components are used by aerospace, automotive, and cellular manufacturers.

MEHSA³

MEHSA³ reduces MOSFET temperatures, lowers distortion, increases durability and prolongs the output device life span.

NOMAD

NOMAD is a "real time" analog computer that protects your amplifier from shorting speaker wires and dangerously low speaker impedances.
