HiFonics MERCURY I/1500EVO

The HiFonics MERCURY I/1500 EVO is a powerful and compact Class-D mono amplifier designed specifically to drive high-power subwoofers. With up to 1,500 watts RMS at 1 ohm, it offers enormous power reserves for powerful and precise bass reproduction.

During the development of the MERCURY EVO series, special emphasis was placed on high efficiency and reliable stability. With an efficiency of up to 90% at full load into 4 ohms, the amplifier operates particularly efficiently and reduces unnecessary energy losses.

A solid aluminum heat sink ensures optimal heat dissipation. High-quality cast end caps with concealed mounting channels allow for a clean installation. The enclosed power and speaker connections round out the robust design.

Thanks to the high-level inputs with EPS (Error Protection System), the amplifier can also be integrated into existing factory-installed sound systems. The automatic power-on function via DC offset makes it easy to connect to factory-installed radios.

An adjustable low-pass filter, subsonic filter, bass boost, and continuously variable phase control are available for custom bass tuning. The included bass level remote control allows you to conveniently adjust the bass volume from the driver's seat.
