TECHNICAL DESIGN FEATURES
The RF 5.3x is a 5-channel amplifier with four stereo channels and a single
bridged/mono channel for accommodating “single amplifier” system
designs at a competitive price. Since this manual provides information on
the features, installation and operation of the Rockford Fosgate 5.3x
amplifier, we suggest you save it for future reference.
We strongly recommend you have your Authorized Rockford Fosgate
Dealer install your new Rockford Fosgate amplifier. If you do choose to
install your amplifier yourself, please be sure to read the entire manual
before beginning.

◆ TRANS•ANA
(TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier)
The
TRANS•ANA
(TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier) is a
circuit that allows the audio signal to pass through the amplifier at low
voltage. The signal is directly level-shifted to the fixed high voltage
rails via a pair of driver transistors. Signal linearity is assured by an
active node formed by the drive transistors at ultrasonic frequencies.
This allows amplifier performance similar to trans•
nova
which is
highly stable and linear while utilizing the advantages of a non-
floating power supply.
THE RESULT: An extended frequency bandwidth accurately supplied
to the output stages of the amplifier.
