LAS VEGAS–
FUSION, a worldwide leader in car audio, marine audio and display products, announced today in conjunction with the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) the release of its highly-anticipated 2013 amplifier product line, the Encounter Series. Initially released in 2006, the new line of Encounter amplifiers sport an updated industrial design with sleek aesthetics and is equipped with the power to deliver impressive performance.
Designed for car audio enthusiasts and audiophiles, the new FUSION Encounter Series includes three models, the two-channel EN-1502, the four-channel EN-3004 and the monoblock EN-3001. Offering an impressive power output, the amplifiers’ Class-AB technology ensures excellent distortion characteristics and power efficiency.
“We are extremely excited to reintroduce our iconic series to the automotive market,” said Glenn Orr, general manager, FUSION Electronics. “Encounter offers distinctive good looks, versatile connectivity and affordable high performance which can only be described as ‘Out of This World’.”
A flexible installation solution, Encounter offers both high-* and low-level input connections as well as OEM compatibility for owners of current model VW and Audi vehicles. Advanced 4-way protection circuitry and an integrated cooling fan ensures safe and sustained high performance. The Encounter range is also equipped with stylized end caps for discrete cable connection protection and a heavy-duty connection block for maximum current delivery.
FUSION offers two recommended accessories for its Encounter products, the CA-HIC13 High Level Adaptor and the CA-RLC13 Remote Bass Control. Required for those who want to connect a high level signal to an Encounter amplifier, the CA-HIC13 converts a high-level speaker wire connection to an RCA input. In addition, to address consumer demand for dash-mounted bass level control, the CA-RLC13 provides an easy to mount rotary solution.
