High Tolerance Output Device – Ultra-Fi MOSFETS are designed for high output power and thermal dissipation through a proprietary coupling method.

Power Supply – Air core transformer is more effective for higher frequencies and energy loss due to its open-core design.

High-End Preamplifier Circuit – Accepts a wider range of input signals.

RCA Inputs – Nickel-plated RCA jacks create an efficient connection that is corrosion-resistant.

Clean Board Construction – Multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCB) with surface mount components require fewer parts and result in a cleaner design.

Delayed Turn-On Function – Ensures compatibility with a wide range of source units to eliminate unwanted turn-on/off noises (like hisses and pops).

Mass-Loaded Heat Sink – The mass-loaded extruded aluminum heat sink results in better thermal management and output performance – no fan cooling required.

Triple Protection Circuits – Over/under voltage, short circuit, and thermal protection circuits give you peace of mind that your investment (audio system and vehicle) will be protected (under nearly every circumstance).

Fly-Cut CNC Badging- The Hifonics and Colossus logo badges are CNC machined aluminum (giving a sleek and stylish finish).

Bass Remote – The included bass remote allows you to adjust the bass level relative to the setting on the amplifier end panel. The LED indicator light displays green when the amplifier is powered ON and red if the amplifier enters protect.

Alden Stiefel, President of Maxxsonics, mentioned, “The Colossus Mini line of amplifiers has you covered when space runs tight in your vehicle or audio setup. If you want to still receive PRO POWER and SOUND for your Hifonics audio system – the Colossus Mini amplifier line delivers on all of it. A smaller footprint has been reinvented with Colossus PRO technology giving your audio a taste of the Colossus PRO line but repurposed for a smaller footprint within the Colossus Mini. I am very pleased with the development and outcome of this Colossus Mini amplifier line and can’t wait for others to hear the PRO HIGHER POWER sound and playback for themselves.”

Embrace PRO SOUND and POWER in a Mini footprint with Colossus Mini amplifiers. Make sure to contact your sales representative or customer service at 847-540-7700 immediately to secure your order.
