Amplifiers

Recoil publishes two sets of power figures for the M1200.6 six-channel amplifier. We set them side by side, explain the 1,200 W in the name, and note what only Recoil's US page documents.

A practical look at the Recoil M1600.8 eight-channel amplifier: what its 1600 W title adds up to, how eight channels fit an active system with a DSP, and how little Recoil publishes about it.

A practical look at the Recoil ATC500.1 mono subwoofer amplifier: how to read its RMS and maximum power figures, what the box-mount design leaves unsaid, and how it compares with the RL680.1.

A practical look at the Recoil RL680.4 pocket-size four-channel amplifier: what its 680 W name adds up to, the unlabelled power figures, a dimension listed two ways, and how it compares with the RL880.4.

A practical look at the Recoil RL880.4 compact four-channel amplifier: where Recoil labels its power figures RMS and where it does not, the speaker-level inputs, and how it compares with the RL680.4.

A practical look at the Recoil RL1200.4 compact four-channel amplifier: its listed output at 2 ohm and bridged, why we do not repeat the RMS in its title, and how it compares with the RL880.4.

A practical look at the Recoil RL680.1 pocket-size mono amplifier: output at three loads, where Recoil labels a figure RMS and where it does not, and how it fits a compact subwoofer system.

A practical look at the Recoil RL1600.1 mono amplifier: the single 1500 W at 1 ohm figure in our listing, what Recoil's own page does not say, and how to wire a subwoofer sensibly.

A practical look at the Recoil RL1100.5 five-channel amplifier: the power figures our listing gives, what Recoil's own stores do not show, and how it suits four speakers plus a sub.

A close look at the Recoil SPL6500.1: power figures that agree on numbers but not labels, strapped mode, the 400 A fuse rating, 724 mm case and who it suits.

A close look at the Recoil SPL4200.4: RMS ratings at 1, 2 and 4 ohm, bridged and strapped figures, filters, the 300 A fuse rating and who it suits.

A close look at the Recoil DII5000.1: three different power figures, the 350 A fuse rating and idle current, filters and inputs, and who it suits.

A close look at the Recoil DII3300.1: RMS ratings at 1, 2 and 4 ohm, how subwoofer wiring picks the rating, filters and inputs, and who it suits.

A close look at the Recoil DII1400.5: four speaker channels plus a mono subwoofer channel, how to read its unlabelled power ratings, inputs, and who it suits.

A close look at the Recoil DII700.4: RMS ratings at 4 and 2 ohm, bridged power, inputs and turn-on modes, the max figures to ignore, and who it suits.

The Recoil S810 is an 8-in, 10-out DSP amplifier rated 8 x 25 W plus 2 x 100 W RMS into 4 ohm. Here are its specs, how to plan its ten channels, the DRC2 remote and who it suits.

The Recoil P610-PRO pairs a 32-bit/48 kHz DSP with a four-channel amplifier rated 4 x 40 W RMS into 4 ohm. Here are its specs, its controls, the DRC1 remote and how it differs from the P610.

The Recoil P610 is a 6-in, 10-out DSP amplifier listed at 4 x 25 W RMS into 4 ohm, with Bluetooth. Here are its specs, the DRC1 remote and how it differs from the P610-PRO.

The Recoil R46 is a 4-in, 6-out DSP amplifier rated 4 x 25 W RMS into 4 ohm. Here are its specs, how the DRC and DRC2 remotes fit, and who it suits.

A look at the DS18 FRP-8K/TI monoblock: RMS by load, the separate burst figure, the 0 gauge wiring and 750 A fuse, the conflicting filter details, and how it compares with other DS18 amplifiers.
