Product details

As the name suggests, the Engine-400 is the driving force in the ICEbricks-series from ICEpower. ICEbricks are a revolutionary way for building amplifiers using super compact, stripped-down, high-end building blocks. The approach and quality are not only unique not only unique among our amplifier modules category but also unparalleled by any other amplifier product. The Engine-400 offers high audio quality, low losses, small size, robustness, flexibility and long life. 

Believe it or not; this small-sized PCB is an amplification module, capable of delivering 400 watts (RMS) into 4Ω or up to 300 watts (RMS) into 8Ω with excellent audio characteristics. The Sierra loop design keeps distortion at a very low level throughout the audio band. At the same time maintaining the first-order characteristic with -3 dB at 100 kHz gives a very low phase shift at 20 kHz. The output impedance of Engine-400 has is just a few milliohms in the audio band and the noise is less than 30 uVrms giving a dynamic range of 122 dB; that compares to a factor of 1.3 million! The high-density multilayer PCB acts as a heat sink, providing sufficient heat dissipation for playing music in 45 ⁰C ambient temperatures.
