Hifonics BRL1600.4 BRUTUS BRL 1600 Watt Four Channel Amplifier
Description
Description
The Hifonics BRUTUS BRL1600.4 four-channel amplifier delivers up to 1600 watts of high-efficiency output with Super D-Class topology. Engineered with Ultra-Fi MOSFETs and a mass-loaded extruded aluminum heat sink, it provides superior thermal management and high power output with minimal EMI interference.
Featuring multi-channel flexibility, this unit allows standard stereo operation or mono bridged configurations, supported by nickel-plated corrosion-resistant RCA inputs and variable 12dB electronic crossovers. A built-in delayed turn-on function eliminates pops and hisses across compatible audio source units.
Equipped with stylized backlit badging that toggles between constant blue illumination, off, or active VU Meter mode for visual gain monitoring, the amplifier is safeguarded by integrated triple protection circuitry against voltage, short circuits, and thermal overloads.

Highlights
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Ultra-High Efficient Design | A thoughtful power supply design coupled with carefully selected parts results in ultra-high efficient amplifier. |
| Half Bridge Design | A more efficient design with fewer components results in higher power output. |
| Ultra-Low EMI Design | Minimal interface with other vehicle electronic systems. |
| Mass-Loaded Heat Sink | The mass-loaded extruded aluminum heat sink results in better thermal management and output performance. |
| 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. |
| High Tolerance Output Device | Ultra-Fi MOSFETS are designed for high output power and thermal dissipation through a proprietary coupling method. |
| Operation Mode | 4 channel operation mode allows either stereo or mono bridged operation. |
| Clean Board Construction | Multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCB) with surface mount components require fewer parts and result in a cleaner design. |
| Class / Topology | BRL amplifiers feature a Class-D chipset, making them more efficient and allowing for a wide frequency range. |
| Power Supply | Iron core transformer assists in the ultra-low EMI design while providing high power at an unmatched value. |
| Delayed Turn-On Function | Ensures compatibility with a wide range of source units to eliminate any unwanted turn-on/off noises like hisses and pops. |
| Connection Type | Secure molded connection terminal for all Power, Ground and Speaker connections. Angled for ease of access while creating a clean wire mangement profile. |
| Stylized Badging | Switch between full constant blue LED lights, VU Meter mode, or full off. When switched to VU Meter mode, the amplifier’s logo reflects the audio level, making it useful for gain adjustment. |
| Triple Protection Circuits | Over/under voltage, short circuit, overcurrent, and thermal protection circuits are built-in safe guards to protect your audio system and vehicle under most circumstances. |
