SIRCL2 SIRIUS Satellite Radio Receiver Package
This package includes Clarion’s SIRCL1 receiver and
SA150 Generation II antenna. The receiver can be
controlled using either a CeNET-equipped source unit
or by using the DSC920S.
Features:
• CeNET Interface for Direct Operation by all SIRIUS-
Ready Clarion Source Units
• L/R RCA Line Level Outputs for Easy Connection to
FM200 FM Modulator, as Well as Any Line-Level
Input Devices
• CeNET Pass-Through for Connection of CD Changers
and Any Other Clarion Products.
Clarion’s Three-Tier Approach
Clarion’s three-tier amplifier line was constructed to address all power needs. All offer high power. The difference is in the
approach. The line starts with the APA4300HX, an amplifier designed to compliment Clarion’s DRZ9255 both in perform-
ance and cosmetics. As you will see, this feature-laden amplifier is what high-end audio is all about.
The line continues with the APA4320 and APA2160. These two amplifiers are as versatile as they come — both in features
and in cosmetic design. Features include a Bass Extender, high- and low-pass crossovers, Mixed Mode Operation, Speaker
Level Inputs, and much more. But the key to these two amplifiers is their compact design — making them the perfect fit
for space-limited installations.
Rounding out Clarion’s amplifier line are the APA2001, APA450 and APA250. The motto for these three amplifiers is “Power
With a Conscience.” Why? Offering great power output, these three amplifiers are also priced affordably. Bottom line, if your
building a system for a budget-minded customer, these are the amplifiers you need to look to.
Amplifiers and Processors
Audiophile-Grade Power
From its exterior color scheme to its refined circuit
layout, stable power supply and high-capacity output
stage, it’s clear the APA4300HX was intended for
the serious audio buff. With all channels containing high-
and low-pass filters with variable crossover frequencies
(50Hz to 20Hz), the amplifier also allows for easy
system expansion.
The amplifier also offers an input signal mixer function,
which uses a bridge to mix the left and right channels.
From there, the amplifier outputs both signals via one
channel. This is especially useful when driving a mono
subwoofer over the amplifier’s integrated low-pass filter.
The APA4300HX also incorporates a highly efficient cool-
ing system. This consists of a thermally-balanced cooling
tunnel and thermally-operated fan. Coupled with the large
cooling surface on the amplifier’s housing — which incor-
porates large tunnel-shaped heat sinks — the amplifier
guarantees excellent and safe operation at the output
stages, regardless of the loads.
Current Feedback Amplification Circuit
The unique circuit design maximizes the potential of the
amplifier, allowing it to realize even ultra-high frequency
levels of 100kHz. This wideband, high-speed amplification
circuit also ensures stable phase characteristics and
response. This circuit layout also adds music dimension,
and provides additional harmonic elements while main-
taining the main frequency element. The design also
prevents phase shifts of high-range frequencies from
becoming audible.
