Phoenix Gold Rises

13th June 2011 Adam Rayner

Yes, it’s true, Phoenix Gold is to come to the UK, as scooped here on Talk Audio last week and yes, this SD amplifier is to be part of the offering, hence, here’s the full tech spec.
SD Amplifiers are the newest creation from the engineering gurus at Phoenix Gold. These amplifiers are ultra compact, so they can be mounted just about anywhere. But don’t be fooled by their small size as these amplifiers deliver serious power output. The PG gurus have created a full-range Class D topology that delivers seamlessly outstanding sound quality that even the most sensitive of ears will enjoy.
The Class D design is also ultra-efficient. This means lower operating temperatures and eases the strain on the vehicle’s electrical system. The SD amplifiers are the perfect balance of power, size and affordability.

I have it on good authority that there will be Ti amplifiers, subs and speakers as well as the SD and R series amps and the SL subwoofer line, thus far.
We’ll let you know the moment they have arrived and start shipping. Last time there was hot news from Celsus, we had the story published before they had even finished emptying the container at Celsus HQ!
