Amplifier STEG NIKO 1.7000

Amplifier STEG NIKO 1.7000

The main feature of the STEG D class amplifier series is the very low distortion that they can maintain even at low loads, thanks to the low tolerance of the passive components and the precise layout, which reduce power losses to a minimum and deliver excellent performance. The amplifier uses components such as low tolerance resistors and capacitors, high linearity polyester coupling capacitance with low thermal resistance, specially designed for audio applications. The choice of each individual device has been studied down to the smallest detail, each element finding its best place in the delicate electrical balances of the system to ensure exceptional performance that will be unchanged over time.

The NIKO 1.7000 is designed for the most demanding SPL challenges, where power supply conditions, load impedance are truly extreme. Stabilized power supply up to 10 volts, with 24 mosfets 160A, each one is additionally able to handle current up to 4000A at the input and is able to work with loads up to 0.5 ohm output. Completely separate the two parts of the power supply to prevent interference between the two power branches and reduce significant power losses and the risk of breakage.

Number of amplifier channelsAmplifiers are divided into: - Monoblocks - 2-channel - 3-channel - 4-channel - 5-channel - 6-channel - multi-channel Each channel is used to power one speaker for the coaxial type, or one side if they are component speakers. Monoblock type amplifiers are mainly used for subwoofers. 2-channel are suitable for both subwoofers and, for example, the front pair of speakers in a car. 3-channel is used for front or rear speakers + subwoofer. 4-channel are used for front + rear speakers or 1 pair of speakers + subwoofer. 6 or 5-channel are used for 2 pairs of speakers + subwoofer, most often. Bridging means connecting the amplifier to a bridge, using the + pole from one channel and the - pole from the other channel. In most cases this is shown as "BRIDGED" on the amplifier.	Monoblok
Energy class of the amplifierAmplifiers are divided into two basic classes: analog and digital . Analog amplifiers (A/B) have higher consumption requirements, but usually have a more natural sound. Digital amplifiers (D) have significantly lower consumption and higher efficiency, but the sound may not be as faithful as with classic analog amplifiers.	D
RMS power into 4 ΩRMS power when loading speakers or subwoofer at 4 Ω. RMS power is the constant power of the amplifier and is one of the most important parameters when choosing an amplifier.	1 x 2350 W
RMS power into 2 ΩRMS power when loading speakers or subwoofer at 2 Ω. RMS power is the constant power of the amplifier and is one of the most important parameters when choosing an amplifier.	1 x 3850 W
RMS power into 1 ΩRMS power when the subwoofer is loaded at 1 Ω. RMS power is the constant power of the amplifier and is one of the most important parameters when choosing an amplifier. When connected to 1 Ω, significant heating of the amplifier may occur.	1 x 7000 W
Harmonic Distortion (THD)Total harmonic distortion indicates how much the input signal is distorted in the amplifier. Distortions appear as overtones contained in the output signal. The proportion of originally absent parts of the signal is given as a percentage, typical values are between 0.001% and 0.5%. Distortion is measured in their power band. If it exceeds the limit of 0.7% from a certain power, it is the value of the output power of the given amplifier, from which it no longer plays without distortion and from which the distortion usually increases steeply, so that no further increase in power can be counted on. The lower the value, the better.	< 0,3 %
Signal-to-noise ratioThe signal-to-noise ratio means that the output signal always contains noise. The signal-to-noise ratio expresses how much of this noise is compared to the useful signal. The so-called A value is given, which does not take deep and very high frequencies into account. This corresponds to the characteristic of human hearing, which is not so sensitive to deep frequencies, especially below 1 kHz. The higher the value, the better the amplifier is.	> 89 dB
Input sensitivityIn order for the amplifier to perform its function correctly, it requires an input signal of a certain level, which is different for car radios. It is measured in "Volts" (e.g. 2 V, 4 V, etc.) The higher the value at the output of the pre-amplifier, or car radio, the less demands are placed on the power of the amplifier. However, the amplifier must allow this input sensitivity, and for that reason this value is also given for the amplifier.	0,2 - 5 V
