Fine-Tuned Sound: Advanced Filtering and Crossover Options

The M1000/5v2 features a comprehensive set of filters and crossover options to optimize your marine audio system's sound. It includes a 12 dB/octave high-pass filter for one main channel pair, a 12 dB/octave high-pass or bandpass filter for the other main channel pair, and a variable slope low-pass filter for the subwoofer channel. These filters offer continuously variable cutoff frequency selection from 50-500 Hz, ensuring precise control over your audio output. Moreover, the amplifier's filters can be configured as a true 3-way crossover. This means you can set a low-pass filter for the subwoofer channel, a bandpass filter on channels 3 and 4, and a high-pass filter on channels 1 and 2. With the addition of the "x10" multiplier switch on the high-pass filter of channels 1 and 2, you can adjust the cutoff frequency from 50-500 Hz or 500-5000 Hz. This level of flexibility allows you to tailor the audio response to your specific preferences and speaker characteristics.

Convenient Control at Your Fingertips: HD-RLC Remote Level Control

For added convenience and control, you have the option of integrating the HD-RLC remote level control (sold separately) with the M1000/5v2 amplifier. This accessory enables you to directly control the subwoofer output level or adjust the master volume for all channels from the helm. With this level of control, you can easily fine-tune your audio system on the fly to suit changing conditions or personal preferences.

Built for the Marine Environment: Durability and Reliability

JL Audio understands the challenges of the marine environment, and the M1000/5v2 is designed to withstand the rigors of life on the water. The amplifier features a white and gray powder-coat finish, which not only looks sleek but also provides excellent protection against the elements. Additionally, a gasketed cover for the controls and stainless steel hardware enhance the durability of this amplifier, ensuring it can withstand the harsh marine conditions.

NexD Switching Technology: Unparalleled Audio Quality and Efficiency

At the core of the M1000/5v2 amplifier lies JL Audio's innovative NexD switching technology. This advanced amplifier technology delivers exceptional audio quality, unsurpassed total efficiency, and high power output from a compact design. By harnessing the power of NexD, this amplifier ensures clean and powerful audio reproduction, allowing you to enjoy your favorite music with exceptional clarity and detail.

A Closer Look at NexD Switching Technology

Let's dive a little deeper into the technical side of NexD switching technology. Traditional PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) switching amplifier designs utilize a fixed switching frequency and vary the pulse width solely based on the audio input signal. However, this approach assumes ideal conditions that are not always present in real-world installations, leading to power supply sag and distortion, even at lower power levels. JL Audio's solution to this issue is feedback, but it becomes impractical as the audio frequency increases, making it suitable primarily for band-limited subwoofer amplifiers, not full-range amplifiers. To overcome these limitations, JL Audio incorporated a very high switching frequency of 240 kHz into the NexD subwoofer amplifiers. This higher frequency pushes the amplifier's bandwidth to at least 500 Hz with minimal distortion, resulting in tighter and rock-solid bass performance. For the full-range NexD amplifiers and channels, JL Audio employs a variable, ultra-high-speed version of the technology. Operating at well over 400 kHz, this design uses a self-oscillating modulator with "feed-forward" to cancel out distortion caused by supply voltage fluctuation. By reducing distortion prior to applying feedback, the overall feedback loop design is simplified, resulting in cleaner and more powerful audio reproduction. In summary, NexD switching technology ensures exceptional audio performance with its clean, powerful, and reliable output. Regardless of your music preferences, you can trust the M1000/5v2 amplifier to deliver an immersive and captivating listening experience.
