Orion COBALT Series Installation Manual page 4

INTRODUCTION
You have purchased the finest car audio power amplifier available on the market today. Your
Cobalt amplifier (Model CO 230, CO 260, CO 430, CO 2100) incorporates the latest technological
advancements to exceed current measurement standards of performance, craftsmanship, and
reliability.
All our amplifiers contain the following built-in features:

deep bass sound
• Localized Feedback Design for extremely fast Transient Response and reduction of Harmonic and Intermodulation
Distortion
• Dynamic Current Limiting, to protea theamplifier by reducing its power supply voltage when minimum load
impedances are exceeded on either channel
• A Smart MOSFfT Power Supply with second-order RFI (noise) filtering that is energy efficient, reliable, and can artually
sensea variety of interconnect problems like shorted speaker leads, power ground problems, audio grou/Kl problems,
and low electrical system voltage
• Bridging Capabilities for Mono and Mixed Mono Installations
• A single Variable Input Sensitivity control for precise level matching of Control Head Unit outputs to amplifier inputs
• FET switched 40 dB audio attenuator to reduce turn.on/turnoff "thump"
•Aluminum Heat Sinks for efficient dissipation and refledion of heat
In addition, all our amplifiers are made in the USA with high-quality, double-sided printed circuit
boards, containing superior-grade components. Be assured that befcxeyou bought this superbly-built
amplifier, it was thoroughly tested and is now ready for the most demanding of situations. This
amplifier has passed an extensive five-step quality control inspection, culmination in a two-hour
