Know before you buy
No, the Apollo 6-Channel amplifier uses an efficient Class-D design. This technology is specifically engineered to provide high power output while minimizing overall battery consumption.
An IPX2 rating means the unit is protected against vertically falling water drops when tilted up to 15 degrees. While it is built with a conformal-coated PCB to resist salt and moisture, it should be mounted in a protected area away from direct spray or submersion.
Easy Tune simplifies your setup by automatically detecting your speakers and optimizing audio levels and filter settings. This ensures you get balanced, high-quality sound without needing to manually calibrate complex crossovers.
Yes, the amplifier is designed for flexible zone expansion and can support up to six speaker pairs. This allows you to independently manage audio across different areas of your vessel.
The status LEDs provide real-time feedback for shorts, faults, and temperature issues. If you see an indicator light, check your speaker wiring for shorts or ensure the amplifier has adequate ventilation to prevent overheating.
Yes, the Apollo 6-Channel amplifier features ignition protection, making it safe for installation in environments where fuel vapors might be present. Always ensure the mounting location meets the required clearance dimensions.
