AudioControl A800.1 mono subwoofer amplifier

The AudioControl A800.1 from the Altitude Series is a powerful and sophisticated monoblock amplifier designed for serious bass enthusiasts. It offers a blend of high power output, precise control, and advanced features. Here's a breakdown of what makes it stand out:  

Power and Performance:

• Robust Power: This amplifier delivers 400 watts RMS at 4 ohms, 600 watts RMS at 2 ohms, and 800 watts RMS at 1.33 ohms (Spike Mode). This level of power is sufficient to drive a wide range of subwoofers, including many high-performance models.  
  
  
  
• Efficient Class D Design: The A800.1 employs Class D amplifier technology, which is known for its high efficiency. This means that more of the amplifier's power is used to drive your subwoofer, while less is lost as heat.  
  
  
  
  
• ParaBASS® Equalization: AudioControl's ParaBASS® technology is a standout feature, allowing you to fine-tune the bass frequencies with precision. You can adjust the center frequency, bandwidth, and boost level to perfectly match your subwoofer and listening preferences.  
  
  
  
• High-Quality Components: The A800.1 is built with high-quality components and meticulous engineering to ensure clean and powerful bass reproduction with minimal distortion.  
  
  
  

Features and Flexibility:

• Spike Mode: This innovative feature enables you to connect three 4-ohm subwoofers in parallel for a 1.33-ohm load, maximizing the amplifier's power output.  
  
  
  
• Valet Mode: This mode allows you to limit the amplifier's output to 25% of its maximum, which is useful for preventing accidental damage to your subwoofers, especially when someone else is driving your car.  
  
  
  
• Start-Stop Compatibility: The A800.1 is designed to work flawlessly with vehicles equipped with start-stop systems, ensuring consistent performance even when the engine is off.  
  
  
  
• Versatile Inputs: The amplifier accepts both high-level (speaker-level) and low-level (RCA) inputs, making it compatible with a wide variety of head units, whether they are aftermarket or factory installed.  
  
  
  
• Optional Remote Level Control: You have the option to add an ACR-1 remote level control, which allows you to adjust the bass volume from your driver's seat.  
  
  
  

Build Quality and Reliability:

• Sleek and Durable Design: The A800.1 features a stylish and robust anodized aluminum chassis that not only looks great but also helps to dissipate heat effectively.
