RiottStarr Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Can we get some examples of these? How can we tell by looking at an amp specs online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 You just talking about Balanced, VS UN Balanced? Balanced ive used was my RF 2500bdcp and T1000.4ad, my Dc amps are also Balanced. That said, my HU doesnt pack a balanced sig, so... .meh...

RiottStarr Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Just curious? I just watched a D'Amore video about differential and single ended amps/rca's. Says that differentials are higher end amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicks Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 You won't be able to tell from the specs unless they specifically mention differential inputs. Some companies advertise it, some don't. They are generally used in higher end amps since there is more circuitry involved which filters out common mode noise and gives you a larger/cleaner input signal. Any reputable company should have a technical support team that can tell you if their product supports a differential signal. If they can't or won't...walk away. Also keep in mind that your device (HU) sending the signal MUST output a differential signal for the noise cancellation to work.

RiottStarr Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Soo, that brings me to the next question. what head unit companies provide this feature? High end Pioneers? Alpine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicks Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hmm, none that I can think of offhand. There are solutions though. Fosgate makes a Line Driver module that will output differential signals. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/rf-bld Or you can get an external processor (360.3) that does the same. Not that many people like buying extra equipment but there are options.

RiottStarr Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 but, are the options worth it? is it safe to assume yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicks Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 If you have noise that you need to get rid of then they could definitely be worth it. If your (unbalanced) signals are clean and you you're happy with it then no its probably not worth it, unless you want some of the other features of the device.
