High-End Amplifier BRAX RX2 PRO - Founders Edition

Overview

The Beginning of a New Era

Although digital signal processing has long made its way into the BRAX world with the legendary BRAX DSP, analog amplification has always been considered the benchmark for achieving the best sound quality and measurements. However, with the BRAX REVELATION RX2 PRO, a new era dawns – one that the name itself suggests: a new, digital sound revelation that outshines everything that has come before in the car audio segment.

"As a passionate musician with over 45 years of success in the audio industry, I never thought Class D technology could ever compete with analog. But let me be clear: The BRAX REVELATION RX2 PRO takes my breath away. The level of audiophile performance this amplifier delivers is out of this world and elevates BRAX's commitment to uncompromising sound to a new level. I am convinced that this technological masterpiece will open the eyes of even the most dedicated analog enthusiasts to a new era of high-end amplification.“ 

– Heinz Fischer

The BRAX REVELATION RX2 PRO - Founders Edition

For the first time in BRAX's illustrious history, not only is a digital amplifier being introduced, but also an exclusive limited series that exemplifies the brand’s dedication to excellence: the Founders Edition. This special edition clearly stands out with its exclusive design: The heatsink impresses with its unique "Midnight Blue" color, created through an elaborate anodizing process, making the Founders Edition a truly distinctive and unparalleled piece. Additionally, the mirror-polished stainless steel nameplate with golden laser engraving, along with the hand-signed bottom plate, further accentuates its exclusivity. To top it off, each unit is accompanied by a certificate hand-signed by both Heinz and Julian Fischer. Limited to just 888 devices worldwide, the Founders Edition is not just a piece of high-end audio equipment but a collector’s item that celebrates a new era of BRAX innovation.

The new benchmark in sound quality - with PURIFI's EIGENTAKT technology

The BRAX RX2 PRO combines compactness and efficiency in an impressive way, with technical and sonic attributes that elevate amplifier quality standards to a whole new level. In close collaboration with the Danish manufacturer PURIFI, a unique and uncompromising concept was realized based on their patented EIGENTAKT technology — a concept that dispels all previous prejudices against digital amplification.

All performance metrics, including Total Harmonic Distortion (THD+N), intermodulation, and signal-to-noise ratio, are so extraordinary that only the most expensive measurement systems can accurately capture them. The foundation of this exceptional performance is the Multi-Stage Feedback principle, in which several extremely broadband and therefore ultra-fast feedback loops in the amplifier stages compensate for all non-linearities. This even extends to the output relays, which have their own control loop to equalize their minimal contact resistance. Crucially, the LC output filter required for Class D amplifiers is incorporated into these feedback loops, completely compensating for its significant impact on distortion and output impedance. The RX2 PRO thus shines with phenomenal values for a damping factor of 10,000—not just at the typical test frequency of 1 kHz, but across the entire audio band. Additionally, the frequency response dependency on the load, typical of Class D amplifiers, is eliminated with this circuit topology. No matter which speaker the RX2 PRO drives, its amplitude response remains perfectly linear up to 60 kHz across all impedances.

Advanced Power Supply Design

Another key to the unmatched sound quality of the RX2 PRO is the extensive effort put into its power supply design. The power supply is regulated, providing a constant output voltage to the power stages that is independent of the battery voltage. This ensures full start-stop capability and allows operation in electric vehicle onboard networks, where voltages up to 18 volts can occur. Additionally, the power supply is equipped with a total of 67 electrolytic capacitors with massive total capacity, ready to deliver enormous impulse currents when needed. To ensure that the PCB does not hinder current flow, eight layers of copper minimize internal resistance. But that's not all: The high number of layers also brings other advantages, ensuring that high currents have no impact on sensitive input or feedback signals, thanks to the sophisticated layout.

Flexible Input Options with First-Class Signal Processing

The analog input module introduces the new "Super-Balanced" principle, where two extremely low-noise and low-distortion BurrBrown OPA1612 operational amplifiers form a differential input stage per channel. This not only handles amplification but also ensures an extremely high common-mode rejection ratio, providing excellent immunity to automotive-related interference on the input signals.

The digital input module, equipped with both optical and coaxial SPDIF digital inputs, shines with a state-of-the-art Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) from ESS. This DAC achieves performance metrics previously unattained in the car audio segment, with a signal-to-noise ratio of 130 dB and a distortion figure of -117 dB (equivalent to 0.00014%). These outstanding values are made possible by the meticulous design of the power supply for the DAC. A dual voltage regulator, developed specifically by ESS, supplies each channel separately with extremely low-noise and highly stable operating voltage. As part of a logical, holistic concept in line with BRAX standards, the digital input module also supports the proprietary DiSAC 2.0 protocol of the BRAX DSP for unparalleled volume control at the end of the signal chain.

Compact Design and Revolutionary Efficiency

In addition to its unbeatable technical highlights, the RX2 PRO presents itself in an exceptionally elegant and compact form. Despite its enormous output power of 2 x 300 watts at 4 ohms or 2 x 510 watts at 2 ohms (or 1 x 930 watts at 4 ohms), it has the same size as a BRAX DSP and is nearly 40% more compact than a GX2000, or even 66% smaller than an MX4 PRO. In terms of efficiency, power consumption and reduced heat generation, the RX2 PRO opens a completely new chapter for BRAX, aligning with the general trend towards higher packing density and increased efficiency.

The Award-Winning, Digital Revolution in Amplifier Design

“What was previously unthinkable is now reality: With the BRAX REVELATION RX2 PRO, Audiotec Fischer is introducing the first ‘digital’ power amplifier under the Brax brand name. In order to use Class-D technology to match or even surpass Brax’s analogue high-end amplifiers, the BRAX REVELATION RX2 PRO is the first automotive-grade version of Purifi’s innovative ‘Eigentakt’ technology, which sets new standards in terms of performance and sound. The BRAX REVELATION RX2 PRO uses the best available components; it can be equipped with either an analogue input module with TI / BurrBrown operational amplifiers or a digital module with ESS converters, ensuring the very best signal quality in every case. The result is, on one hand, the immense power of 2 x 300 watts at 4 ohms or 2 x 510 watts at 2 ohms, and, on the other and much more importantly, the absence of any distortion and noise. If you are looking for a modern, compact Class-D power amplifier with real high-end quality, you will find what you are looking for in the BRAX REVELATION RX2 PRO.”
