Detailed description

The JL Audio XDM700/5 marine amplifier is a 5-channel Class D amplification solution designed for demanding marine environments. This unit delivers audiophile-grade sound in a compact form factor, capable of powering a full audio system comprising four satellite speakers and a subwoofer.

Audio performance and power

Featuring JL Audio’s high-speed switching NexD™ amplification technology, the JL Audio XDM700/5 offers high efficiency and low distortion. At 14.4 V, it delivers 75 W RMS x 4 channels at 4 Ω, 100 W RMS x 4 channels at 2 Ω, and 200 W RMS x 2 channels in bridged mode at 4 Ω for the main channels. The subwoofer channel outputs 180 W RMS at 4 Ω and 300 W RMS at 2 Ω. At 12.5 V, the power outputs are 60 W RMS x 4 at 4 Ω, 90 W RMS x 4 at 2 Ω, and 180 W RMS x 2 in bridged mode at 4 Ω for the main channels, with the subwoofer channel maintaining 180 W RMS at 4 Ω and 300 W RMS at 2 Ω. The main channels’ frequency response ranges from 12 Hz to 22 kHz (+0, -1 dB), while the subwoofer channel’s response is 10 Hz to 1 kHz (+0, -1 dB). The signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 104 dB for the main channels, and the total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) is less than 1% at 2 Ω per channel. The amplifier accepts an RCA input voltage of 200 mV to 4 V RMS.

Marine-grade design and advanced features

The JL Audio XDM700/5 is built specifically for marine environments, incorporating marine-grade materials, an elegant black thermo-lacquered finish, a removable and watertight top cover for controls, and stainless-steel fasteners. Its advanced filtering system enables precise configuration: channels 1 and 2 feature a 12 dB/octave high-pass filter (50 Hz - 5 kHz, with a x10 multiplier for 500-5000 Hz); channels 3 and 4 include a 12 dB/octave high-pass or band-pass filter (50-500 Hz); and the subwoofer channel offers a variable-slope low-pass filter (selectable 12 dB/octave or 24 dB/octave) with a 50-500 Hz cutoff frequency. These filters can be configured for a 3-way crossover. A dual-mode input filter ensures noise-free performance in marine and automotive environments. The unit also features automatic turn-on via signal detection or DC offset, balanced differential inputs to eliminate electrical noise, and advanced thermal rollback protection to prevent shutdowns due to overheating. An optional level remote control (HD-RLC or MHD-RLC) can be added for adjustments from the helm.

Physical specifications

The amplifier dimensions are 52 mm (height), 260 mm (width), and 180 mm (depth). Its net weight is 2.79 kg. A 60 A fuse (AFS, AGU, or MaxiFuse™) is required for circuit protection.

Expert opinion

« JL Audio XDM700/5: 5-channel marine amplifier for complete systems »

The JL Audio XDM700/5 amplifier is a strategic choice for marine audio installations requiring a complete and compact amplification solution. Its 5-channel configuration efficiently drives a system comprising four satellite speakers and a subwoofer, simplifying wiring and installation compared to using multiple separate amplifiers. The NexD™ Class D technology is a major asset in marine environments, delivering high efficiency that minimizes thermal dissipation—a critical factor in the confined, poorly ventilated spaces of boats. This efficiency also reduces the load on the vessel's electrical system.

The XDM700/5’s marine-grade design, featuring a corrosion-treated chassis and a sealed top cover for controls, ensures durability against spray and humidity. The balanced differential inputs are particularly effective at countering the frequent electrical interference aboard, ensuring clear sound reproduction. The advanced active filtering system, with high-pass, band-pass, and low-pass options and 3-way crossover capability, provides acoustic adjustment flexibility to suit different speaker types and cabin layouts. Finally, the automatic turn-on function simplifies integration with existing or original audio sources.

What is the JL Audio XDM700/5 marine amplifier?

The JL Audio XDM700/5 marine amplifier is a 5-channel Class D amplifier designed specifically for demanding marine environments. It is part of the XDM series and is optimized to deliver high-quality audio performance and high energy efficiency.

What is the total output power of the XDM700/5 amplifier?

The XDM700/5 amplifier delivers a total power output of 700 watts. It is configured with 5 channels, allowing simultaneous powering of speakers and a subwoofer.

Is the XDM700/5 amplifier designed for marine use?

Yes, the JL Audio XDM700/5 amplifier is specifically designed for marine environments. Its Class D design and features make it suitable for the demanding conditions encountered on the water.

Which channels are available on the XDM700/5 amplifier?

The XDM700/5 amplifier is a 5-channel model. It has four channels for speakers (CH. 1, CH. 2, CH. 3, CH. 4) and a dedicated mono channel for a subwoofer (SUB CH.).

How effective is the Class D technology used in this amplifier?

Class D amplifiers, such as the XDM700/5, are known for their high energy efficiency. This technology converts a large portion of electrical energy into audio power, reducing both heat generation and current consumption, which is ideal for marine applications.

What are the LED status indicators on the XDM700/5 amplifier and what do they mean?

The amplifier is equipped with a status LED that indicates its operating state:

Blinking green: The amplifier is starting up; audio output is muted.Solid green: Normal operation, audio output active.Solid red: Safety mode triggered by overheating; audio output is reduced. The unit will return to normal operation once the temperature is safe.Solid amber (yellow): Safety mode triggered by overcurrent; audio output is muted.

Is the XDM700/5 amplifier protected against overheating?

Yes, the XDM700/5 amplifier includes a safety mode that activates in case of overheating. The status LED will turn red and the audio output will be reduced until the temperature returns to a safe level.

Can a volume level remote be connected to the XDM700/5 amplifier?
