INTRODUCTION
The One is a truly unique amplifier that follows in the legendary footsteps of Limited Edition amplifiers from Phoenix
Gold. While the external function of this monoblock amplifier is fairly simple its very important to respect the immense
amount of power it can produce. Be sure the proper subwoofers are selected as this amplifier will easily damage low to
mid powered subwoofers. Phoenix Gold is not responsible for speaker failures or damage.
Phoenix Gold has taken special care to make sure each amplifier is of the highest quality possible. After the electrical
components are pre-tested and inserted into the circuit boards then each amplifier is carefully hand assembled one
by one. Once assembled the amplifiers are rigorously tested. The first testing stage is performed by a state of art Audio
Precision computerized program. Specifically designed by the Phoenix Gold engineering team, this testing program
is powerful and complex. It immediately and accurately measures distortion levels, power output, crossover functions
and numerous other specifications.
Once the amplifier has passed the Audio Precision testing, its then ‘burned in’ for a minimum of two hours to verify all
part temperatures are within specification and all systems are working properly. After the unit passes burn in, it is then
retested with the Audio Precision again to verify it still meets the original testing criteria. Once it passes this test for a
second time it then undergoes a final visible inspection and human listening test. Rest assured this amplifier has been
fully tested before its laid to rest in its custom made wood crate.
As mentioned throughout this manual, the proper electrical system is REQUIRED not optional. The amplifier can be
damaged and will not reach its full potential without the proper electrical system. Stinger accessories and power wiring
are heavily recommended due to their high quality. For example, Stinger power wire is 100% OFC copper and adheres
to a Tru-Spec wire gauge standard. Many low quality power wires may look like 1/0 gauge from the outer jacket, but the
internal copper is actually closer to 4 gauge to save costs. Also do not use CCAW or Copper Clad Aluminum Wire as it
does not conduct current as well as copper.
Congratulations on purchasing the most powerful and one of the rarest amplifiers ever built by Phoenix Gold. Be sure
to keep all of the documentation, certificate of authenticity and shipping crate as this amplifier is truly a collector’s
dream.
