About this product

MOSFET Power Supply Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor is a transistor used for amplifying or switching electronic signals. We use it in our computers, our telephones, game consoles, cars, electrical appliances, and in this case, our Amplifiers. They are found in systems where information is processed or stored. A MOSFET is basically an electrical switch that allows the flow of electrical current. An electrical switch has two possible states, ON or OFF. This is where the MOSFET performs its most important role in our D Class amplifiers by allowing or preventing the flow of power and creating an efficient amplifier.

A pure class ‘A’ amplifier typically has an enormous amount of current flowing through its output transistors with no audio signal. A pure class ‘B’ amplifier has no current flowing through its outputs with no audio signal. This eliminates virtually all of the crossover distortion that’s possible with class ‘B’ amplifiers. A class A/B amplifier is much more efficient than a class ‘A’ but without the possible distortion of a class ‘B’. As if that wasn’t enough, with a Full Range amplifier you not only have the option to run your speakers, but also your subwoofers. By just a flip of a switch from Full to Low, the PH2.600 will change from offering a complete range of frequencies that you need to be able to listen to your 2/3/4 or 5 way speakers to the “Low” that you need for a subwoofer application. View larger Variable Crossover Speakers reproduce sound based on high, low, or mid-range frequencies. This process is called the crossover effect and occurs because the vast majority of audio systems cannot cover the entire spectrum sufficiently to minimize sound distortion and maintain an appropriate frequency ratio. In the case of our PH2.600 amplifier, a variable crossover is offered so that you, the listener, can have the ability to set the frequency at which the crossover occurs, thereby setting specific sound specifications such as the bass, mid-range, and high frequency reproduction. View larger 2/1 Channel This feature comes in handy for a couple of different installation applications and is multi versatile. The “2” channel means that you are able to use the PH2.600 as a 2 channel amplifier by hooking up 2 speakers to it. The “1” channel is slightly different in that you can hook up 1 subwoofer in bridged mode. View larger Variable Bass Boost The difference Bass Boost and Variable Bass Boost is that with Bass Boost you either have extra bass or you don’t. But with Variable Bass Boost you have control of exactly how much BASS you want to pump out to your subwoofer(s). You get Variable Bass Boost with the PH2.600 Amplifier. View larger Low and High Level Inputs The Phantom series amplifiers have two different ways to get a signal into it. One way is called Low level input and the other is called High level input. A low level input is measured in voltages. It comes in the form of RCA outputs from the back of your receiver and goes to the RCA inputs on your amplifier. A High level input is measured in wattages. It comes in the form of one positive and one negative wire from the back of your receiver to the input terminal of your amplifier with the same wire. Low-level (RCA) input wiring is preferred for best audio performance. Always use a high-quality RCA cable for best audio performance. WARNING: Do not connect BOTH the high level and low level inputs from your receiver to your amplifier at the same time! View larger Gold-plated RCA low level and high level inputs
