INTRODUCTION
The Clarion DPX1001.2 is a full-featured two-channel amplifier that
incorporates the following features:
Digital Technology for high efficiency and high power output.
Full frequency response with low distortion and exceptional signal to noise
performance.
Advanced circuitry design that features bridgeable and mixed mode oper-
ation for use in various audio systems, including those with satellite speak-
ers and/or subwoofers.
Variable low-pass electronic crossover with a 12dB or 24db per octave
slope and full adjustable range (from 55Hz to 550Hz) to aid in audio sys-
tem configuration.
Variable bass boost circuit to reinforce low frequency signals that may be
lost due to subwoofer box design.
Adjustable input level controls with ground loop isolation, allowing a wide
range of input signals.
Remote turn-on with “soft start” muting to prevent turn on “thump”.
Pulse-width modulated (PWM) MOSFET power supply with low AM RFI
and protection circuits for overheating and speaker shorts.
1-ohm load capability to drive a variety of speaker systems (stereo mode)
