DEAR CUSTOMER,
CONGRATULATIONS ON ACQUIRING A PRODUCT WITH THE HIGHEST
QUALITY AND TECHNOLOGY!
You have just purchased a SounDigital product of the highest technology and quality,
so we thank you for your confidence.
Class D Amplifiers:
Class D amplifiers have as main characteristics the audio quality, efficiency,
application versatility and compact design. Following are the advantages of these
features:
Audio Quality – In the past, Class D products had limited response and for higher
frequencies, Class AB products performed better, but their efficiency was very low. The
new technologies introduced by SounDigital resulted in a Class D amplifier with high
efficiency and superior Class AB performance.
Efficiency – SounDigital Class D amplifiers have total efficiency (output + power
source) greater than 70%, which guarantees lower battery consumption and less
heating.
Application Versatility – The flat full-frequency response of SounDigital amplifiers
allows them to be used in all car sound systems. Meeting the demands with extreme
quality.
Compact Design – The high efficiency and high technology applied, allows
SounDigital amplifiers to be very compact, facilitating installation in vehicles where
space is limited.

installation solutions for vehicles with
limited space.
The design of the EVOX line of amplifiers aims to give users the feeling of the smooth
and deep bass, without compromise! Our Low Bass Correction technology compares
the input signals to the amplifier against the output after the amplification stage, making
real time correction of the signal, delivering a deeper bass with less distortion.

How to adjust the Crossovers
Reproduce your favorite song and set the boost
intensity between 0dB and +12dB at the variable
control level according your preference.
The use of the two associated filters can form a
bandpass filter, as in the figure below, where the point
"A" is defined in the "SUBSONIC" crossover and the
point "B" is defined in the "LOW" crossover.
To set the "SUBSONIC" variable control between 5Hz and 30Hz ("A") where you want
to perform the subsonic cut filter;
Set in the "LOW" variable control between 50Hz and 500Hz ("B") where you want to
perform the low pass cut filter.

Bass Boost Level
The Amplifier Bass Boost setting enables the user to boost the sound intensity at low
frequencies of the sound system, where boost intensity can be adjusted.
This is a semi-parametric equalizer type circuit with ''Q'' value for the fixed filter, with an
intensity boost adjustment from 0 to +12dB (16 times), and a central frequency
adjustment of the filter in 50Hz, making it versatile for several types of sound systems.

BATTERY CONNECTION DIAGRAM
When necessary the association of one or more battery banks to supply the
necessary current to the amplifier, it is recommended to use batteries of the same
brand, model, and if possible the same manufacturing lot so that the system has
the maximum performance.
For an ideal energy performance, we recommend that all batteries be connected to
positive and negative busbars and the busbars connected to the amplifier, as
shown in the diagram below:

1
Battery connections without the use of a busbar,
as shown in the example below, must be avoided.
This setting decreases the efficiency of supplying
power to the system.
All cables, positive and negative,
connected from the battery to the
busbar must be the same length.
Likewise the cables connected from
the busbar to the amplifier.
