FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MH Instruments' Raw40 Mini-Amplifier Opens Market for Big Sound From Personal Stereos Used on Fairing-Based Motorcycles, Scooters — Developers of original Rumble Road™ amplified stereo speakers for motorcycles design compact, versatile DIY product for tight-space applications
TRABUCO CANYON, CALIF., Oct. 28, 2003 – Powersports electronics manufacturer MH Instruments (MHI), home of the original Rumble Road™ stereo speakers for motorcycles, has introduced a mini-amplifier that enables riders of fairing-based bikes, scooters and other powersports vehicles to join the ranks of thousands of Rumble Road™ riders who plug into big, bike-mounted stereo sound using their personal stereos – including MP3, cassette and CD players, satellite and marine radios, and even car stereos.
"While our cornerstone Rumble Road™ Premium amplified speakers were designed originally for cruisers that could be rigged out and still look great, the Raw40 mini-amp zeros in on riders looking for a more discreet portable-sound solution for their fairing-based bikes or scooters," said Mauro Dresti, MHI co-founding partner.
"The Raw40 works with any powersports vehicle where minimal space and maximum sound are equally important," Dresti said. "MHI's versatile mini-amp is ideal for the do-it-yourself (DIY) rider who wants to upgrade an existing sound system, design a new one or add a second set of speakers. Getting your bike wired for sound is a great off-season DIY project in anticipation of some glorious riding next spring," he added.
Weighing in at just 8 ounces, the mini-amplifier's small-footprint forged metal case, externally mounted aluminum heatsinks and integrated mounting bracket measure 4.5 inches wide by 3 inches high by 1 inch deep overall. The Raw40's high-gain, stereo-bridged amplifiers produce approximately 32 Watts continuous (46 Watts peak) output into 4 ohms at 13.6 VDC, with impedences ranging from 4 to 8 ohms.
Engineered for the demanding environments of motorcycles and other powersports vehicles, including all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and snowmobiles, the all-weather Raw40's sleek, industrial design makes it suitable for mounting out in the open, as well as under wraps.
The Raw40's state-of-the-art but still "off-the-shelf" surface-mounted internal circuitry promotes equipment compatibility, reliability and durability. It can be wired directly to any onboard 12-Volt source using standard RCA connectors bundled with the amplifier. And, a designed-in universal line-level input feature facilitates compatible hookup with most stereo installations, including CD changers, satellite radios and marine radios.
MSRP for the Raw40 mini-amplifier is US $179.95. For additional product information, including how to order, visit www.mhinstruments.com, or call toll-free +1.866.713.2173; local 949.713.2173.
