View largerClass D TopologyA class-D amplifier, or switching amplifier, is an electronic amplifier where all power devices (usually MOSFETs) are operated as binary switches. They are either fully on or fully off. Ideally, zero time is spent transitioning between those two states. In this way, power loss is significantly reduced, making a D class amplifier anywhere from 75% to 95% efficient. To maintain high efficiency, the filter is made with purely reactive components (inductors and capacitors), which store the excess energy until it is needed instead of converting some of it into heat. Some other advantages include reduction in size and weight, reduced power waste as heat dissipation and hence smaller (or no) heat sinks, and reduction in cost due to smaller heat sink and compact circuitry.General FeaturesThermal, overload, and speaker short connectionSoft turn-on circuitRemote turn-on / turn-off circuitInput voltage sensitivity selectorNickel plated RCA low level inputs Nickel plated speaker and power terminalsLED power and protection indicatorsGunmetal aluminum heatsinkMOSFET Power SupplyMetal–Oxide–Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor is a transistor used for amplifying or switching electronic signals 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.1 Ohm StableThe NXD3500 is a one ohm stable amplifier which is able to continuously power loads of one ohm X one channel without encountering difficulties such as overheating. Almost all car amplifiers are at least four ohm stable and some are two ohm stable. One ohm stable amplifiers are typically made to power up subwoofers that demand the heavier power load requirements to be able to perform the way they were made to perform. View largerLow Level Inputs With Pre-Amp OutputsA low level input is measured in volts. It comes in the form of RCA (low level) outputs on the back of your head unit and goes to the RCA inputs on your amplifier (Right/Left). With that in mind, you can take control of more power by connecting more amplifiers together using the RCA pre-amp outputs (Right/Left) from your primary amplifier straight to the RCA inputs of a second or satellite amplifier (Right/Left).View largerVariable Subsonic FilterSubwoofers start to bottom out trying to reproduce low-frequency signals that are below their abilities to sound off. Bottoming out is a mechanical problem and happens when the subwoofer driver reaches the limit of its excursion and creates a clacking or flapping sound instead of the low frequency entering its voice coils. If your sub is bottoming out, short of changing the driver into one that has better low-frequency handling, you can try the NXD3500, which has a subsonic filter to filter out frequencies below its specified low frequency limits.View largerVariable CrossoverSubwoofers reproduce sound based low 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 NXD3500 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 precise sound specifications on your subwoofer.View largerStrapping CapableYou are able to strap your NXD3500 amplifier to another NXD3500 amplifier and double the power that is being sent to your subwoofer(s). You now have the ability to connect more subwoofers to take advantage of the extra power.View largerVariable Bass BoostWith the NXD3500 amplifier you have Variable Bass Boost, which gives you control of exactly how much bass you want to pump out to your subwoofer(s).

• VARIABLE SUBSONIC FILTER: Main function is to filter out frequencies below its specified low frequency limits. Subwoofers start to bottom out a mechanical problem, trying to reproduce low-frequency signals that are below their abilities to sound off
• LOW LEVEL INPUTS WITH PRE-AMP OUTPUTS: You can manage extra strength by means of connecting extra amplifiers collectively using the RCA pre-amp outputs (Right/Left) from your amplifier straight to the RCA inputs of a satellite amplifier (Right/Left)
• VARIABLE CROSSOVER: This process is known as the crossover impact and takes place because the substantial majority of audio systems cannot cover the complete spectrum sufficiently to limit sound distortion and preserve an excellent frequency ratio
• STRAPPING CAPABILITY: You are able to strap your NXD3500 amplifier to another NXD3500 amplifier and double the energy that is being sent to your subwoofer(s). You now have the capacity to connect extra subwoofers to take gain of the greater power
• MOSFET POWER SUPPLY: This transistor is for amplifying electronic signals in amplifiers. Found in systems where information is processed or stored. Electrical switch that allows the flow of electrical current and has two possible states, on or off
