CITY OF COMMERCE, CA (12.03.2020) – Chuck Kenney, National Sales Manager, is shown with the new 6 Channel Primo PX6 Amplifier in the Massive Audio HQ warehouse in Commerce, CA.

The Massive Audio PRIMO Series PX6 is a 6 channel Amplifier that easily delivers up to 180 Watts RMS to each of 6 Channels @ 2Ω and 130 Watts @ 4Ω. All PRIMO series amps use Mil Spec PCBs with Surface Mount Devices.

Inside you will discover full MOSFET high grade switching devices and only top quality 1% resistors, caps, connectors complete the “no compromise design.” You can be assured your investment will last as a result of our 5-way protection circuitry and LED Clipping Indicators for front & rear. Our built-in OEM Line Converter enables installation of this Amplifier in any system as a result of its input sensitivity adjustable up to 10V RMS with our Auto Turn On circuit and there’s a 12 Volt remote output for external 12 Volt devices. Adding to its street cred is its compliance with the Consumer Technology Association’s CTA 2006 Standards for Car Audio Amplifiers. Not only does it comply; it outperforms its standard rating. I.C.P. (In Car Performance) is the main design goal. 

Outside you will be impressed with its polished CNC machined aviation grade 6061 aluminum fin-less heat sink housing a blue back lit logo. glowing radiantly in blue, announcing to the world you’re in possession of PRIMO equipment. The end caps feature a 2 / 4 / 6 Channel Input Selector and individual adjustments for level and crossover frequency there are Clip LED Indicators For All 6 Channels Multiple Channel Selector for HPF / LPF and a 0 – 12 dB variable Bass Boost on the 5 & 6 channels. Additionally, the PX6 supports a “Docking Port” to plug in an optional custom matching 4 Farad Railcap Booster (RCP). 

FEATURES INCLUDE:

• Extreme Power in a Small Footprint
• Clip LED Indicators for All 6 Channels
• 2 / 4 / 6 Channel Input Selector
• Multiple Channel Selector for HPF / LPF
• Low Distortion Full Band Width for Sound Quality Tuning
• Mil Spec Double Sided PCB design with SMD parts
• Tiffany Style Nickel plated RCA’s 
• Full MOSFET with High Grade switching devices
• Built-in Auto Sensing turn on function with LED Indicator (Hi-Inputs)
• 12V Remote Output for External Devices (Hi-Inputs)
• 0~12dB Variable Bass Boost for Channels 5/6
• Next Generation Advanced 5 Way Protection Circuitry
• Illuminated Logo
• Designed and Engineered in U.S.A.
• CTA 2006 Standard Compliant

DIAMOND BAR, CA (12.01.2020) – The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued an advanced proposed rule to begin creating a framework for regulatory oversight of Automated Driving Systems (ADS). The agency is seeking public comment on ADS safety issues to be addressed as they enter the marketplace. The framework is intended to define, assess, and manage ADS performance safety issues while providing flexibility for continued design innovation.

NHTSA had identified four core ADS functions:

• Sensing: ability of the automated vehicle (AV) to receive information from its environment;
• Perception: ability of the AV to interpret the information received through sensors;
• Planning: ability of the AV to establish and navigate a route to its destination; and
• Control: ability of the AV to execute the driving functions necessary to carry out the driving plan.

Although wide-scale deployment of AVs may be several years away, the technology to be incorporated in the vehicles is being actively developed and tested—from cameras, radar, and LiDAR to global position satellite (GPS) data, vehicle-to-vehicle communications and vehicle-to-everything devices. The technology is being incorporated into new crash avoidance safety systems such as automated braking and lane departure warnings.

NHTSA notes that it is premature for the agency to issue safety standards or other performance standards for ADS competency. However, the advance proposed rule is intended to help identify aspects of ADS safety performance that may need the most attention. NHTSA has presented 25 questions in seeking public feedback on a range of topics including how to prioritize core elements of ADS safety performance, how to evaluate the functions, and how to consider regulatory oversight of the systems (guidance documents, industry best practices, safety standards, etc.)
