MAGNUM SERIES AMPLIFIERS from D-SONIC

HI-FIDELITY AUDIO AMPLIFICATION BASED ON ICEpower ® SWITCHING TECHNOLOGY.

ICEpower® is a relatively new application of switching amplification that is gaining an impressive following in the audio industry. Many respected brands have embraced this technology with more in line to do so.

The amplifier modules are compact, light weight and 80+% efficient, resulting in very low heat dissipation. No fans, no exterior heat sinks. Transparency and dynamic range combine for a sense of realism that appeals to many solid state and tube listeners. A soft clipping feature emulates the gradual roll-off of tubes. Voice and musical instruments sound like they are in your room. You should hear more detail from most recorded media.

Modules are installed with aerospace quality switches, inputs and outputs. Wiring is to mil spec. Balanced and unbalanced inputs are provided. All modules are true mono sharing only grounding and line power. Click on the CAMERA image at the bottom of this page to view actual photographs.

MAGNUM SURROUND SOUND

5-7 Channels


The Magnum Surround Sound amplifiers are designed to put full power where it is required – the front 3 channels. The remaining 2-4 channels rarely see the same level of current demand. With ICEpower® technology, if this does happen, soft clipping and thermal protection will ensure no permanent damage, and will probably replicate this higher energy signal without noticeable loss. This multi-power configuration offers dynamic realism at a significant price reduction. Full power in all channels is available in our CUSTOM SERIES described below. Magnum units can be upgraded to full power for all channels for cost plus shipping. All units have 12VDC trigger circuits to allow standby, low energy dissipation when not in use, and manual, front panel shutoff for ultimate safety and zero energy loss. All modules are internally braced.

MAGNUM 2500-7
3 X 525W / 8Ω 3 front channels
4 x 250W / 8Ω side and rear channels
18”W x 7”H x 13”D

amps are capped to permit future expansion to 7 channel. 12VDC trigger circuits are standard.


CUSTOM SERIES AMPLIFIERS
 D-SONIC can fabricate a custom chassis to accommodate 1–7 channels from 100W – 500W / 8 ohms.
Any combination of module quantities, power ratings and power cords can be combined. Call for a quote.

PARTING THOUGHTS
A/V receivers with preamp out jacks can send processed audio data to a Magnum amplifier for a dramatic increase in power and quality. Many of the latest 7.1 receivers contain high quality preamps and processor chips. You will not need the amplifier section for the main system, so the less expensive, low power models are ideal.
