NEW for 2020, Premium Series speakers take the top tier in the mobile lineup

SEMA, Las Vegas – MB Quart is showcasing the new, top of the line, Premium Series speakers at SEMA 2019 (booth #60012). Included in the new line is a reintroduction of a classic MB Quart configuration that we have not offered for several years, the PS1-316 400 Watt, 3-Way component system. This Premium audiophile system is a 3-Way component package complete with a pair of newly designed 1” Magnesium dome Widesphere technology tweeters that deliver exceptional musical reproduction of high frequencies (with a large sweet spot or off-axis listening area) plus two pairs of mid-range and mid-bass drivers. 

The larger drivers start with a pair of 4” mid-range speakers (to handle higher midrange tones) and a pair of 6.5” mid-bass drivers for drums and high sub frequencies. These drivers utilize the curvilinear cone shape that MB Quart made famous and are constructed from a lightweight aerated pop paper with Mica blend. The mids and mid-bass speakers are housed in an innovative frame which is engineered with PA66 composite with 30% glass fiber added. This material renders the frame inert, eliminating harmonic distortion from vibration.

PS1-316 Premium 3-Way Component System

The entire package is controlled by an external three-way crossover network that will be appreciated by any audiophile for its ability to guide the proper frequencies from the amplifier into the appropriate drivers without coloring the sound. This is accomplished through the use of high tolerance, private label parts. Every model in the Premium line is engineered with the same meticulous care that we put into the PS1-316.

Brian Sherman, Vice President of Product & Marketing for Maxxsonics USA said, “At MB Quart, we put sound quality above everything else and our new Premium Series speakers are just the latest example of this approach. The use of exotic materials, like lightweight aerated pop paper cones with Mica blend and real magnesium tweeter domes, is yet another big step in performance for the MB Quart brand.” 

About the Premium Series Speakers

FEATURES ACROSS THE LINE INCLUDE:

Magnesium Dome Tweeters: 1-Inch Magnesium dome tweeter for musical reproduction of high frequencies

WideSphere Technology: Tunable waveguide tweeter housing with removable phase lens to create a largerthan-life soundstage

Curvilinear Cone: Lightweight aerated pop paper cone with Mica blend for strength and superior bass frequency reproduction

Low Resonant Frame: Aerospace grade PA66 composite with 30% glass fiber speaker frame to assure that no harmonic distortions affect the tone of the speaker

Audiophile Crossover: The crossover network, which guides the frequencies to each driver, is designed with tight tolerance components for superb sound quality

“These are some of the best sounding speakers MB Quart has ever offered. We’re excited to offer these speakers in new sizes and configurations in an effort to make life easier for installers,” concluded Sherman.

Three models to choose from including NA3-1000.5, NA3-600.6, and the NA3-560.4

Libertyville, Ill. – MB Quart has designed a new Marine amplifier line (to our successful NA series) to stand up to the toughest conditions on the water. Nautic Series 3 (known as NA3) Amplifiers are the upgrade to the NA Amplifier line, and they use conformal coated PC boards to protect against the elements.

The Nautic Series 3 line offers 3 choices including a 5 channel amplifier to run a full system (with 4 full range channels) and a 5th channel to power the subwoofer as low as 1 ohm. The 5 channel amplifier includes a bass remote for fine tuning. Additionally, a full range, 6 channel amplifier can run several more sets of speakers around the vessel and a full range 4 channel amplifier to round out the line.

Brian Sherman, Vice President of Product & Marketing for Maxxsonics USA said, “These amplifiers represent a huge leap forward for high-power marine amplifiers and are built on an all-new architecture that you’ll soon see in other MB Quart products. A 360° heat sink design ensures best in class thermal stability, while top mounted controls and modular connectors make install and setup a breeze.”

IPX Certified

The Nautic amplifiers are engineered to handle the harshest conditions of marine installations with both salt and fresh water.

Top Mounted Controls

The NA3 Series includes Sound Contouring, which includes features like bass controls, crossover functions, and gain adjustments among others which are conveniently located on top of the amplifier.
Every control is easily positioned on the amplifier and away from end panels where they might have been exposed to water and leakage from the boat. With the use of these modular connectors for audio, connections, power, ground, and turn-on circuits, everything is sealed at the amplifier.

360° Heat Sink Design

If you could look inside the amplifier, you would see that the amplifier PC board is floating and designed with components in a 360 degree layout. This gives the NA3 amplifiers best-in-class, thermal stability due to the fact that each output device (MOSFET) has ample aluminum heat sink area for cooling.

Screenshot 2019 08 24 18.47.57

Nautic Series 3 Amplifiers are not automotive amplifiers, while they will work just fine in a car or truck, they are purpose built to very strict standards set forth for marine electronics by the American Society for Testing and Materials, ASTM International, and NMMA.
