| Intelligent Surface Mount Technology (ISMT) |
The Technology
At MTX Audio, we're technology freaks and manufacturing geeks - from the first time a new product idea is generated, through to the manufacturing and shipping process. That's why, on the new Thunder amplifiers, we use Intelligent Surface Mount Technology.
ISMT is a method of designing and manufacturing products. The parts in ISMT are actually mounted on the Surface of the amplifier circuit board, rather than through the board.

Intelligent Surface Mount Technology
  The components surface mounted on the amplifier circuit board during the ISMT process are highly resistant to vibration and can withstand the abuse of the automotive environment.
ISMT is a whole lot more than just a new cool way to put parts on a circuit board. Our MTX electrical engineering brainiacs use ISMT to its greatest potential - from board layout, to the selection of components. Technology is the tool that makes sure that your amplifier is the best it can be.
An example of the advantage of ISMT can be seen on the circuit board on the right (click for a larger picture). You can easily see the unique "cellular" approach to the circuit board layout. By isolating each section of the amplifier in its own "cell", the amplifier has low, to non-existent, noise.
- Advanced Computerized Protection Circuit for maximum power output and protection
- Class A 100% Discrete Driver Circuit Topology is linear, resulting in low distortion and a high damping factor
for tight, controlled bass
- Patented PWM Mosfet Switching Power Supply for superior sonic performance
- Low Impedance, High Power Transformers provide more power and produce less heat
