aren't mono amps suppose to be "D"

aren't mono amps suppose to be class D. or just some r AB. cuz the profile ca600m is class AB but is a mono amp. i always though class D was mono

Class D amp -digital more effiecent

The D dosn't stand for digital!

but it is more efficient for lower frequencies //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I didn't say it wasn't, I was just stating D dosn't stand for Digital, a misconception done by many.

i know and i agree completely with you.

my monoblock is a true class A amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I guess I should have specified more in my earlier reply.

do what DOES the "D" stand for? anything?

ooooo class A. Thats hot. literally.

it stands for 'we wanted to make it logical, and then TRICK your ass so you could look like a fool when you found out it never stood for digital' but actually it stands for four, there in the order that IEEE recognized them, so A is one B is two and so forth... just a IEEE standard

Class-A Output device(s) conduct through 360 degrees of input cycle (never switch off) - A single output device is possible. The device conducts for the entire waveform

Class-B Output devices conduct for 180 degrees (1/2 of input cycle) - for audio, two output devices in "push-pull" must be used (see Class-AB)

Class-AB Halfway (or partway) between the above two examples (181 to 200 degrees typical) - also requires push-pull operation for audio. The conduction for each output device is shown in

Class-C Output device(s) conduct for less than 180 degrees (100 to 150 degrees typical) - Radio Frequencies only - cannot be used for audio! This is the sound heard when one of the output devices goes open circuit in an audio amp! , showing the time the output device conducts (single-ended operation is assumed, and yes this does work for RF).

Class-D Quasi-digital amplification. Uses pulse-width-modulation of a high frequency (square wave) carrier to reproduce the audio signal

Don for get class T i fergot how that one worked tho

I only mentioned the most widely used. There are many more but many are obscure or application specific.
