Pro audio speakers are more popular in car audio with the increased bit depth and bit rate available in music now. 16-bit, 24 bit and even 32 bit is becoming more available.  Making traditional car audio gear obsolete for it cannot reproduce all the amount of content clarity. The higher the bit depth, the more music tones are available at the same time, thus having more content in the signal produces more realistic sound, more music and better imagining. While the faster bit rate adds to the detail, clarity, and precision of music reproduction.

Unfortunately, much of car audio, “pro audio”, is car audio product disguised to look like pro audio product but doesn't have the full performance benefit or loudness, hence why Italian pro audio is so much more expensive and well regarded as the standard. Massive Audio collaborated with world renowned Italian engineer, Zuccatti to produce our hi end Loudspeakers which are Kipple tested and manufactured by a Pro audio manufacture that supplies some of the top home and pro audio brands.

For Guaranteed Performance** upgrade to the new generation of sound. To get the most of this new trend pair the ultra-efficient Massive Audio Loudspeakers with a Primo series high speed digital (class-d) amplifiers. High-speed amplifiers have replaced the Class A/B amplifiers, even in Pro Audio, for they have overcome limitations of the past.  Like electric cars vs gas powered cars, they outperform much of their A/B counterparts. Their high switching speed makes them operate more like class A amplifiers and they don’t have the limited signal to noise ratio or bandwidth reduction of the past. For the low frequency, the Primo series bass amplifier was expertly crafted as single ended, optically couple design for the most accurate bass reproduction.

Massive Audio customers, or our end user do not pay for our marketing, we believe in grass roots marketing and offer authentic sustainable pricing. We give our customers and our end users: More Performance, More Value. More Loud Music--Not Loud Noise.

Looking for a few select dealers; we have unique programs to make sure our partners are profitable. If you want to make a difference in the future of Car audio, contact our Sales Department.

METAIRIE, La., Oct. 31, 2023 – ORACLE Lighting, an innovator in automotive LED solutions, announces its new 2021-24 Ford Bronco Off Road LASER + LED Fog Light Kit for steel-bumper Broncos. Featuring both a DOT/SAE-compliant fog light and an off-road laser module, the new combo lights provide unparalleled lighting power for current-generation Broncos in a rugged and easy-to-install package. The kits will be available beginning in December of this year.

The combination of LED and laser technology in a single unit delivers unmatched long-distance lighting power while being able to control each module separately for on and off-road driving. The LED-only on-road mode projects light to 980 feet, while the hyper-focused off-road laser projection distance is an astounding 3,250 feet. The fog lights produce 7,000 total raw lumens while drawing just 1.8 amps in LED and 3.6 amps in laser mode. Each beam level can be individually adjusted to account for vehicle lifts and desired beam angle.

“We’ve combined the two best lighting technologies into a single unit to deliver a truly unparalleled lighting solution,” said Justin Hartenstein, ORACLE Lighting's director of development. “Laser really is the next evolution in lighting, and these combination lights are perfect for those looking for maximum visibility, especially when driving at higher speeds off road where visibility over longer distances is critical.”

As rugged as they are functional, the new ORACLE fog lights feature polycarbonate lenses with unique skeletonized carbon-steel brackets and die-cast aluminum housings. The tactical blacked-out design is further enhanced by the laser-etched bezels around each projector lens. The lights are IP67 rated, making them both waterproof and protected from dust over an extended period of time. The kit mounts easily using factory hardware.

The fog light module has separate cables that can be connected to the factory fog light switch or an auxiliary switch. If the Bronco is not equipped with optional auxiliary switches, ORACLE offers a harness (part number 2088-504) for easy wiring installation. The laser lights are intended for off-road use only and should be connected to an auxiliary switch.

The ORACLE Lighting Ford Bronco Off Road LASER + LED Fog Light Kit fits 2021-24 models with a factory steel bumper. The kit includes two light modules and two dual Deutsch DT 2M cable connectors. MSRP is $1,449.95 and a two-year replacement warranty is included.
