INTRODUCTION

The Clarion DPX1001.2 is a full-featured two-channel amplifier that
incorporates the following features:
• Digital Technology for high efficiency and high power output.
• Full frequency response with low distortion and exceptional signal to noise
performance.
• Advanced circuitry design that features bridgeable and mixed mode oper-
ation for use in various audio systems, including those with satellite speak-
ers and/or subwoofers.
• Variable low-pass electronic crossover with a 12dB or 24db per octave
slope and full adjustable range (from 55Hz to 550Hz) to aid in audio sys-
tem configuration.
• Variable bass boost circuit to reinforce low frequency signals that may be
lost due to subwoofer box design.
• Adjustable input level controls with ground loop isolation, allowing a wide
range of input signals.
• Remote turn-on with "soft start" muting to prevent turn on "thump".
• Pulse-width modulated (PWM) MOSFET power supply with low AM RFI
and protection circuits for overheating and speaker shorts.
• 1-ohm load capability to drive a variety of speaker systems (stereo mode)
