Class D

The ’switching noise’ of any class D amplifier is a sine wave at the switching frequency. If the filter is properly designed, the sine wave is quite small and low power- it has to be so because the amplifier can’t interfere with other services, like AM broadcast (1.5MHz is at the top of the AM band). But an amp that is switching at 600KHz will have the same amount of noise and 600KHz is in the AM broadcast band too- the same rules apply.

An amplifier is an unintentional radiator. FCC (and others) will only test conducted emissions at <=30MHz. Radiated emissions is tested at >=30MHz.

The noise would be a square(ish) wave as the transistors are hard switching. It would become a sine due to the output filter.

Our amp (and I assume for most class D amps this is true) can be operated at full power all day long and you can hold it in your hand- they get warm but not hot. We don’t know where this will lead, but we have a goal and now we’re seeing if it can be achieved. 

This is very much not the case. Most are based on modules, and those modules are not designed with thermal paths / heat sinks that will allow full power continuously or more specifically high current continuously. That's fine since music doesn't work that way.  The devices normally used are not the absolute lowest RDSon, but more so tuned for good switching performance. When they heat up a lot of course, that RDSon goes up.

This is fake news.

Once again, straight into product protection mode, just like someone else that abuses this tiresome saying. Hope independent tests from the likes of Stereophile will sort out your furphy’s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furphy

You can easily put together a couple of icepower 500 watt monoblocks for about $800 as mentioned by Erik:

When completed they look strikingly similar to the aforementioned d Sonics class d m3a 1500s, inside AND outside.

This statement is false. I've simply been engaged in correction of misinformation. That is why I used the phrase fake news. But I could use others- ignorance comes to mind. Misleading. Deceptive. And so on. But since I don’t know/understand why you insist on posting incorrect information, I don’t use the word ’deceptive’ although due to the tenor of your posts I’m often tempted.

Again for the umpteeth time: READ UP ON THIS STUFF. Parading the same rubbish over and over isn’t winning you any accolades and isn’t impressing anyone that you know what you’re talking about.


Its easily shown that its not product protection, for the simple fact that whether my company produces an amp or not, what I have stated remains factual. Its not like our amp somehow makes it true.


It may be that you won’t get this simple fact as this has been gone over and over again and you seem to hang on to the same mythology in the face of facts (just like that same person you alluded to in your post above). Please consider just reading and educating yourself. You might find it worthwhile. If you need links to articles I can provide them. OTOH if you can find anything that debunks my comments, please produce them; I’d be interested to see. But don’t send that tired link about an amp that is obviously decades behind us.
