MiNi D3000.4 2nd Gen

Features

• Clip suppression technology avoids hard clipping, so the sound will not become harsh in the event of excessive input.
• Fan-free operation negates the need for noisy fans. Even continuously driven 2db into clip, the Mini D will not overheat.
• ST or 4CH input switch for using the amp in either 2-channel or 4-channel operation.
• Auto ON signal sensing allows the amplifier to wake up on signal and fall asleep when not in use.
• User-selectable high & low pass crossovers with variable crossover frequency.
• High and low pass multiplier buttons offer users great wiring flexibility.
• The MARS status LED lights up when an anomaly is detected, the unit is initially powered up, and it is in self-analyzing mode.

To decisively leapfrog the car amplifier industry would be no easy task. Earthquake’s chief engineer, Joseph Sahyoun, descended into the Earthquake research laboratories determined to crack the code to the universe and design the car amplifier of the future! Future amplifiers will be smaller, stronger, and smarter. However, breaking through the technical barriers would require considerable innovation. To decrease the size of an amplifier, it was also necessary to increase its efficiency. This requires intelligence and control. In the pursuit of these goals, several new technologies were developed.

Omega

Optical Multilevel Empirically Guided Aggregation is the highly evolved brain and central nervous system of the MiNi D amplifier. Traditional amplifiers are comprised of many circuits operating in blind autonomy. OMEGA adds intelligence and operational awareness to these functions- transforming autonomy into unity.

OMEGA is tapped into every circuit and transmits instructions in the optical plane with a speed of 500khz, making it deadly accurate. This enables constant optimization of power generation and amplification.

The best example of efficiency gain due to OMEGA is the power supply and amplification section, which previously operated without coordination. With OMEGA – they operate in continued adaptive synchronization, almost doubling their output. In addition to adaptive synchronization, OMEGA utilizes an optical multilevel feedback path operating in the digital domain, providing real-time targeting data and enabling OMEGA to steer voltage digitally and current with absolute precision.

VE-TAT

Velocity Enhancing Transistor Augmentative Technology is an enhanced transistor dead-time controller. Where OMEGA is a macro overlay system, VE-TAT works at the component level. A critical area for efficiency in a Class D amplifier is the speed and precision with which the transistors can be opened and closed. VE-TAT dramatically increases transistor velocity, thus eliminating dead-time losses and increasing efficiency. The addition of VE-TAT makes today’s Earthquake Gen 3 Enhanced Class D output topology the most efficient Class D technology.

MARS

Magnetically Actuated Reanimation System (MARS) is a new type of protection system that enables the use of all amplifier power resources without compromising the amplifier’s survivability under catastrophic conditions. Typical protection systems rely on fuses or relays that complicate the signal path, thus degrading audio quality. MARS is different as it is not in the signal path but works by sensing the electromagnetic field of the conducting wires.

Like OMEGA, MARS’s internal communication is optical rather than electrical. MARS does not use relays or other damping-factor-reducing mechanical switches that can wear out or fail over time. Instead, a specially designed circuit instantly shuts off the output drive. In the event a short circuit activates the MARS protection system, it continuously re-scans the output every 10 seconds. Normal operation automatically resumes as soon as the short-circuit condition is removed.

Unprecedented Placement Possibilities

Reclaim your trunk space! The new micro form factor of the MiNi D opens up a new realm of placement possibilities—under car seats, inside doors, or chassis panels. Stuffing your trunk with amplifiers is no longer necessary to get great sound.

Real World Benefits

The real-world benefits of these technologies are significant. Compared to a traditional Class AB amplifier with an efficiency of 45 percent, at 96 percent, the MiNi D will use less than half the power playing at the same volume. Or it will play 3db louder with the same amount of power. 3dB is the same as adding an extra woofer to the system. With MiNi D, even a staunch system can operate with the stock battery and alternator. MiNi D is very competitively priced against inferior rivals – all this extra power is FREE.
