New 2014 Dual Electronics Products !

Dual Electronics Corporation announced today the launch of a 21 SKU lineup of in-vehicle amplifiers, subwoofers and accessories. The 14-model strong amplifier assortment is the largest yet for Dual, and includes the company’s first 5-channel Digital Compact Amplifier, as well as two digital, low-profile models measuring only 1.5” high x 3” deep x 5.9” wide – the smallest footprint ever introduced by Dual. The new subwoofer lineup consists of 10” and 12” models, each available in single and dual voice coil configurations. All products will ship in February 2014, and all will be on display during the 2014 International CES in Booth 709 in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

“We are excited to introduce our largest ever lineup of high-quality amplifiers,” said Jim Braun, President and CEO, Dual Electronics Corp. “We put a great deal of engineering and quality control into the design and the production of these amps, and we are confident that they will deliver the highest level of performance and reliability,” 

Amplifiers:

The new amplifiers are available in the Performance Series, which includes class AB models, Digital Compact Series, and Ultra Slim Digital, featuring the smallest footprint models.
Key features include:

• Outstanding efficiency: 80% at 1/2 rated power for the whole amplifier, including its power supply, which translates to approximately 60% less current draw than a typical class A/B or D car amplifier of equal power.
• Ultra wide frequency bandwidth for superior sound quality and high dampening factor for lower distortion.
• Automatic turn-on when voltage is detected on the speaker-level inputs, which makes the amplifiers ideal for easy factory system upgrades.
• P.W.M. Power supply for greater stability under heavy loads
• Sharp -24db/octave slope allows only the desired low-end frequencies to play through a subwoofer.
• Heavy-duty Aluminum chassis have 20-30% more mass than conventional amplifiers for extended playtime and durability under high temperatures.
• The Mini-series utilizes the Philips TDA chip – a high-end home audio chip for precise clarity and excellent frequency reproduction.

Subwoofers:
The 4 new subwoofers include 2 single voice coil models and 2 dual voice coil models:

• 10” DSW101D (MSRP $149.99) and 12” DSW121D (MSRP $169.99),
• 10” DVC DSD102D (MSRP $149.99) and 12” DVC DSD122D (MSRP $169.99).

The 12” models offer 400 Watts RMS/800 Watts of peak power, while the 10” models are rated at 350 Watts RMS/700 Watts peak power.

All four models feature:

• Pressed steel baskets with integrated cooling vents for extra heat dissipation and less distortion at peak power.
• Extra-tough suspension spider with embedded tinsel leads for increased linearity and driver compliance, also reducing wear and tear.
• 4 layers of 2″ copper voice coil with aluminum former, which extract and dissipate any heat build-up, resulting in improved power handling.
• Large extended excursion stitched rubber surround, which increases surface area for greater volume displacement and increased SPL.
