Sony XM-8ES Mobile ES 8-channel Power Amplifier

"Model Name: Sony XM-8ES Mobile ES 8-channel Power Amplifier

OVERVIEW:

Superior sound with enhanced versatility - Meet the XM-8ES Mobile ES™car amplifier. This High-Resolution Audio capable 8-channel amp can be connected to a variety of sources, and you can enjoy various system configurations. Hear your music brought to life with an extended frequency response driven by 100W x 8 (330W x 4 bridged) RMS output power.

KEY FEATURES:

HIGH POWER OUTPUT

Powerful sound with astonishing clarity: Our Class-D digital amplifiers are designed for remarkable power in a small footprint. However, the concentrated digital audio processing here presented a significant electro-magnetic interference challenge for our designers. Fortunately, Sony’s expertise and long years of digital engineering experience in both signal processing and amplification has made it possible to realise a compact and powerful amplifier, with absolutely uncompromising sound quality.

PREMIUM QUALITY SOUND

Optimised power blocks: The power supply block is optimally designed for low-noise, highly efficient electric power transmission, and a DC converter with a toroidal core transformer is chosen for less electromagnetic interference. To reproduce delicate ultra-high-frequency sound, each channel block and the class-D amplification are all isolated with their own ground circuitry, minimising any signal interference.

Select components for superior sound: Upgraded inductors with OFC wires are selected for lower internal resistance and improved sound character, while the high-capacity electrolytic capacitors contribute to precise and responsive bass.

Sturdily built structures: The rigid, 1.2 mm, cross-braced bottom plate reduces resonance by approximately 50% and shifts resonance peaks away from the harsh vehicle vibration frequency bands, upgrading damping performance dramatically.

USABILITY:

High-quality speaker terminal: The speaker terminal features hex-key screws, providing a durable method of tightening the wire connections while accepting bare wire or wire ferrules (up to AWG 8ga) for superior electrical performance, high-quality sound, and safe connection.

Clear labels and values: The redesigned control panel is logically grouped, and clearly labelled for setup.

Input/output adjustments: Easily integrate the XM-8ES into your system with clear input and output settings.

Filter/range adjustments: Filter parameters are grouped for seamless sound tuning.

Easy operation: The clear, high contrast labels make adjustment quick and easy, so you can get your system sounding great, faster.
