Sony - More Legendary Than Kaiju
To some the name Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation may be a little foreign, if you'll excuse the pun. However if you change that name to its more common moniker Sony you'll quickly find it's a challenging to locate an audio enthusiast on planet earth who's not heard of it. This astute company was established in 1946 in Japan, and since that time continues to steadily grow its market through the development and deployment of quality electronic equipment; to such a point today that this behemoth is beyond ubiquitous. As you'd correctly assume though; one doesn't grow to such an impressive size due to good luck or guess work. Since conception Sony has continued to innovate, create, design and produce some of the worlds most advanced concepts and technology. Indeed to this day the company continues to lead most other designers as it forges through uncharted territory in the relentless pursuit of aural and visual perfection.

ES Series - World Leaders In Aural Control
Sony electronics enjoys worldwide notoriety for developing high-quality, durable and yet affordable products. Even its flagship offerings, like the astute ES range of car audio equipment; are not beyond us mere fiscal mortals. Sony's recognition for making high-end products at affordable prices didn't occur without just cause, with ranges like the RS range demonstrating why. Not overly keen on venturing off into the twilight zone fiscally speaking; most realistic price points have seen Sony products dominate the market for decades now. This is despite ever-growing pressure from competing brands, both within the Japanese domestic market and far abroad. The Sony car audio stable is a considerable one, offering everything from receivers and amplifiers through to speakers and subwoofers. Put succinctly; if you're facing audio challenge, Sony will have the answer for you.

Design Ideologies
Sony’s marketing spiel starts with the usual “bring new life to your in-car listening experience with the Sony’s superb ES series” and so on. Blah, blah, blah; we’ve heard this all before. However as a company that tests and reviews amplifiers aplenty here can we strongly recommend you stop, take a breath and actually take a good look at this new ES range? Because to say they’re incredible would be underselling them. Featuring a robustly designed topology jam packed with actual high quality components; these powerhouses will give you greater accuracy and articulation in your sound quality, fuller bodied vocals, incredibly detailed instrument textures and of course plenty of hard kicking bass. Seriously people; at this price point these may be the best amplifiers Sony has ever produced.

Design Features
When listening to the beautiful tones of Sony’s exquisite ES range you can tell immediate there is some unique and groundbreaking about them. Their clarity, their cleanliness, their power and their superb response. Just everything about the range just reeks with aural superiority. Ergo without further ado let’s have a look at what makes them so special shall we?

As The Artists Truly Intended
Listen to the subtlest nuances of studio-quality sound in higher than CD quality with high-resolution audio. Feel as if the artist was performing right in front of you. The ES range of amplifiers are engineered to enhance every track; including high-resolution audio files. A whole range of premium circuit components work together for ultimate efficiency and pitch-perfect sound reproduction, giving every road trip the soundtrack it deserves.

Power And Clarity
Experience powerful sound with astonishing clarity. Sony’s expertise and long years of engineering experience with digital amplifiers has made it possible to realize a compact and powerful amplifier, with uncompromising sound quality.

Optimised Power Blocks
The power supply block is optimally designed for low-noise, highly efficient electric power transmission, where the DC converter with a toroidal core transformer is chosen for less electro-magnetic interference. To reproduce delicate ultra-high-frequency sound each channel block and the class-D amplification are all isolated with their own ground circuitry, minimising any signal interference.

Superior Components
The upgraded inductors with OFC wires are selected for lower internal resistance and improved sound character, while the high-capacity electrolytic capacitors contribute to precise and responsive bass.

Sturdy Structures
The bottom plate features a 1.2 mm thickness and updated cross-bracing press design which improve chassis rigidity by approximately 50%. This provides a reduction in the resonance by shifting the resonance peak out of the vehicle’s harsh vibration frequency band while improving damping performance dramatically.

Logical Layouts
The controls for adjustments and placement of connections are logically placed for easy understanding and use. The carefully considered layout ensures both intuitive operation and installation simplicity. The redesigned control panel is logically grouped and clearly labeled for set up.

High-Quality Speaker Terminals
The speaker terminal features hex-key screws, providing a durable method of tightening the wire connections while accepting bare wire or wire ferrules up to 8 Awg for superior electrical performance, high-quality sound and safe connection.

Signal Summing
The new signal summing feature combines filtered audio signals from modern factory car audio systems, such as those for the separate tweeter, woofer and subwoofer. This allows you to accurately amplify the full stereo frequency range easily. And you can even send the consolidated line-level signal onto other mono or stereo amps in the chain, allowing for flexible installation in various types of vehicles and audio system setups.
