D AMORE E350.2 E Series Mobile Audio Amplifier

About the design

The E series amplifiers are based on the latest Texas Instruments class D controllers. This amplifier topology is the foundation for some of the world’s most efficient amplifiers. We took the typical Class D design, improved on it and made it suitable for car audio in all vehicles with sensitive electronics by using very high quality inductors and additional EMI filters for improved distortion, frequency response, clipping characteristics and reduced EMI compared to many (most) competitors Class D offerings. The power supply and the output stages use multiple N-Ch MOSFETs for efficiency and robustness Heat from the MOSFETs is transferred to an extruded aluminum heatsink via mechanical mounting. Extruded aluminum is superior to cast aluminum as a heatsink as it has higher density than a cast heatsink, which tend to be riddled with air pockets within the casting.

Mount it
When an amplifier is mounted in a car that is going 50 MPH and crashes the amplifier might continue traveling at 50 MPH and cause destruction and/or bodily injury if proper mounting techniques are not used. Use #6 or M3 screws in each of the mounting tabs to mount this amplifier to something very secure in the vehicle. The bottom plate is also electrically grounded, so it is best to mount it to something NOT grounded to avoid ground loops.

Power Requirements

Fuses
The amplifiers are shipped with the following fuse sizes. Always replace with the same rating. We have already oversized them for maximum performance. If fuse blows amplifier has serious fault or shorted speaker wire, or wrong impedance speakers connected.

DC Current Requirements

Fault conditions and symptoms
The E-Series amplifiers have LEDs on the side panel to indicate the status of the amplifier.  Normal Condtion – Green LED under on  Heatsink too hot – Red LED on. Amplifier will resume normal operation when Heatsink cools down  Short Circuit on speaker wire or speaker impedance too low – Red LED may blink or not, audio is muted and automatically resets after several seconds.  External Fuse blown or no power on B+, Green LED off, no sound.
