XM-8ES Mobile ES™ 8-channel Power Amplifier

High-Resolution Audio Compatible
Enjoy the subtlest nuances of studio-quality sound. A range of premium circuit components work together for pitch-perfect sound reproduction, giving every road trip soundtrack it deserves.

Powerful Sound with Astonishing Clarity
Enjoy dynamic sound from the highly efficient class-D amplifiers, boosting your in-car music, providing a variety of speaker configurations.

Minimal Interference Design
Sony’s expertise and long years of engineering experience with digital amplifiers has made it possible to realize a compact and powerful amplifier, with uncompromising sound quality.

Optimized Power Blocks
The power supply block is optimally designed for low-noise, highly efficient electric power transmission, where the DC converter with a toroidal core transformer is chosen for less electro-magnetic interference. To reproduce delicate ultra-high-frequency sound, each channel block and the class-D amplification are all isolated with their own ground circuitry, minimizing any signal interference.

Select Components for Superior Sound
The upgraded inductors with OFC wires are selected for lower internal resistance and improved sound character, while the low impedance electrolytic capacitors contribute to clear and precise sound reproduction.

High-Quality Speaker/Power Terminal
The speaker and power terminal features hex screws, providing a durable method of tightening the wire connections while accepting bare wire or wire ferrules for superior electrical performance and high-quality sound, and safe connection.

Sturdily Built Structures
The rigid, 1.2 mm, cross-braced bottom plate reduces resonance by approximately 50 % and shifts resonance peaks away from the harsh vehicle vibration frequency bands, upgrading damping performance dramatically.

Enhanced Logical Control and Connection Placement
Controls and connections are logically placed for easy understanding and use. The carefully considered layout ensures both intuitive operation and simple installation.

Clear Labels and Values
The redesigned control panel is logically grouped, and clearly labelled for hassle-free setup.
