Musway M5-512k

The Musway M5-512K is a compact and powerful 5-channel Class D amplifier with an integrated 9-channel digital sound processor and a total output of up to 500 watts RMS. Thanks to its exceptionally space-saving design, the amplifier can be integrated into the vehicle almost invisibly and is ideal for upgrading existing sound systems to a high standard.

Four amplifier channels deliver up to 50 watts RMS each to the front and rear speakers, while the separate subwoofer channel delivers up to 300 watts RMS at 2 ohms. The built-in 9-channel DSP enables precise sound tuning and also offers four freely configurable RCA outputs for expanding the sound system.

The powerful Analog Devices ADAU1452 DSP processor and high-quality Burr-Brown PCM3168A converters ensure first-class signal processing. Using the Musway DSP software or a compatible smartphone app, you can individually configure the equalizer, crossovers, time alignment, and other sound settings.

Thanks to intelligent high-level inputs with the EPS® Error Protection System, an automatic power-on function, and start-stop compatibility, the M5-512K is also ideal for integration into modern vehicles equipped with factory-installed audio systems.
