AudioControl EPICFIVE amplifier

AudioControl EPICFIVE Amplifier

The AudioControl EPIC series amplifiers combine high power, compact dimensions and stable operation at low impedance. They are designed to drive subwoofers and high-performance speakers and, thanks to Class-D digital technology, provide efficient power transfer even under heavy load. The EpicFive model is a five-channel amplifier offering four channels for speakers and a separate high-power channel for a subwoofer. This makes it an ideal solution for a complete car audio setup from a single amplifier. Stable operation down to 1 Ω on the subwoofer channel allows connection of demanding bass systems. The package includes an ACR-E remote control for easy bass adjustment from the driver's seat. The EpicFive can be linked with The Epicenter Bass Restoration processor, which gives the bass component even greater control and detail. The amplifier is equipped with intelligent protection circuits with automatic reset and robust screw terminals that ensure reliable connections.

About AudioControl

As the name suggests, at AudioControl everything revolves around control of sound — and they've been doing it for more than 40 years. Especially in the United States, AudioControl is a respected and popular manufacturer not only of car audio but also of home audio. The company's headquarters, including research, development, manufacturing and training facilities, thrives in Mountlake Terrace, Washington, in the heart of the temperate rainforest of the Pacific Northwest. All products are therefore still designed and proudly manufactured in the USA, which ensures their high quality and reliability. This is also evidenced by the five-year warranty that AudioControl provides on its products. AudioControl engineers are responsible for several patented technologies that created new ways to improve car audio, and that's exactly what the company focuses on. The product range is relatively narrow, specializing in high-end digital amplifiers, DSP processors, equalizers, preamps and especially a range of products for implementing a new sound system into existing factory units. Professional measurement tools are also available to help fulfill AudioControl's main goal, perfectly captured by their slogan "Making good sound great".
