Infinity KAPPA ONE Owner's manual

Brand: Infinity

Model: KAPPA ONE

Type: Owner's manual

Infinity KAPPA ONE is a powerful and versatile amplifier designed to enhance your car audio experience. With 500W RMS of power, it can drive even the most demanding subwoofers. The built-in variable subsonic high-pass filter with variable boost allows you to customize the sound to your liking, while the 12dB/octave crossover gives you precise control over the frequency range. The input level control ensures that the amplifier is properly matched to your source unit, and the nonfiltered pass-through output lets you connect an additional subwoofer amplifier.
