JL Audio Fathom Home Amplifier Series

Subwoofer power amplifiers

JL Audio Fathom SA-600

Model – SA-600

FLEXIBLE POWER ON DEMAND

Equipped with versatile features and a robust power amplifier section, this amplifier is an ideal choice to drive a custom subwoofer system in home theatre and home audio systems.

ADVANCED CLASS-D AMPLIFIER DESIGN

Innovative, high-speed switching design synchronises an amplifier’s power supply and output channels, resulting in top-flight fidelity with ultra low noise and distortion.

VERSATILE CONTROL

Optimise your subwoofer integration with selectable polarity control (0 or 180 degrees) and advanced DSP features, including a 3-band parametric equaliser, active crossover and programmable delay controls.

COMPLETE CUSTOMISATION

Thier extreme low frequency (e.l.f.) trim lets you adjust the bass response from -12 dB to +3 dB at 25 Hz, so you can have perfect control of the low end of your system.

DIGITAL AUTOMATIC ROOM OPTIMISATION (D.A.R.O.) TECHNOLOGY

Exclusive D.A.R.O. technology from JL Audio uses a powerful onboard DSP to automatically optimise the subwoofer’s in-room frequency response.

This leads to a superb listening experience, no matter where the subwoofer is placed.

HIGH-DAMPING FEEDBACK CIRCUITRY

This proprietary, discrete control circuit design allows our Class-D switching amplifiers to maintain excellent damping factors for improved transient behaviour and fidelity.

Brand

JL Audio

JL Audio was founded in 1975 by James Birch and Lucio Proni. They used the first letter of each of their names, to form a company name, hence "JL." The lucky few who have heard a great subwoofer, well-integrated into an audio system, know that the subwoofer's effect is profound. While everyone expects the bass extension to improve, most are shocked at the transformation that occurs in the main speakers. They simply open up, delivering improved dynamics, superior imaging and more low-level detail. Many describe it as the greatest speaker upgrade they have ever made. JL Audio's award-winning lineup of powered subwoofer systems begins with proprietary subwoofer drivers and amplifier designs, precisely optimised for their intended physical envelopes and design goals. Because of this, they are not limited by which sub-assemblies are openly available on the world market. Instead, each system is fanatically engineered and precision-built in their JL Audio Miramar, Florida factory, with global components, to reflect their passion for spectacular audio and product quality Now they make in our opinion the best Active subwoofers for home that we have heard
