Features:
MK25 EVO First Stage
- Hand-made carbon fiber front cover, metal casing and metal valve housing
(barrel) make for a rugged second stage able to withstand years of
aggressive diving.
- Carbon fiber is virtually bulletproof and also extremely lightweight.
The A700 Carbon's cover weighs only 10 grams, compared to the 42-gram weight
of the original A700's metal cover, resulting in more comfortable diving.
- DLC Black Tech coating protects from corrosion and scratches and lends a
technical look to the regulator.
- Special Torx cover screws are able to support a higher tightening torque
without damage.
Metal case construction enables the use of a larger diaphragm inside a
compact casing, increasing breathing sensitivity.
- Air-balancing smoothes out the inhalation effort when diving at varying
depths and supply pressures.
- User controls include a diver-adjustable inhalation effort knob and
coaxial Venturi-Initiated Vacuum Assist (VIVA) switch.
- Super-flow hose features an oversized bore that allows more air to flow
on each inhalation.
- Ultra-comfortable orthodontic mouthpiece is easy to grip yet doesn't
inhibit airflow.
- Weight (without mouthpiece): 8.0oz/228g.
- Airflow at 2900psi/200bar: 2000 l/ min - 71 SCFM.
A700 CARBON BLACK TECH Second Stage
- Air balanced flow-through piston in a Black Tech-coated brass body
provides constant and effortless airflow unaffected by depth, tank pressure,
or breathing rate.
- DLC Black Tech coating protects from corrosion and scratches and lends a
technical look to the regulator.
- Patented XTIS (Extended thermal Insulating system) fully insulates the
inner mechanism from the environment, improving cold-water resistance by 30%
and delaying ice formation in extreme cold-water conditions without
compromising breathing performance. Key insulation system components are
visible in blue.
- New spring insulating coating, body insulating bushing, anti-freeze cap,
bigger body and cap thread all work in concert with the XTIS to improve
cold-water performance.
- Anti-freeze protection radically increases breathing reliability when
diving in the most extreme water temperatures.
- Two opposing high pressure ports allow the first stage to be positioned
either up or down.
- Five high-flow low pressure ports on a swivel turret maximize hose
routing options.
- External intermediate pressure adjustment enables technicians to
fine-tune performance quickly and easily.
- Available in either a 3364psi/232bar INT or 4350psi/300bar DIN
configurations.
- DIN version comes with a new dual-compound wheel that features a new
ergo shape and soft grip on a rugged black nylon frame.
- Weight: INT 232 (oz/g): 27.9/790; DIN 300 (oz/g): 20.1/570.
- Airflow at 2900psi/200bar: (l/min/ SCFM): >8500/301.
- Intermediate pressure (psi/bar): 133-142/9.2-9.8
Description:
The premium high-performance MK25 EVO/CARBON BLACK TECH is not only the
best-breathing reg in SCUBAPRO's line, it's also the leader in advanced design
and materials and the toughest in terms of high-tech durability.
Like the original A700, the A700 CARBON's casing is full metal to take advantage
of the extremely high heat exchange rate that makes this second stage such a
great choice for cold-water diving. However, the screw-down front cover, in
place of metal, is hand-made out of carbon fiber - the same material you find on
aircraft and high-speed race cars. Carbon fiber is extremely lightweight and,
unlike metal that can change shape when dropped or struck against a hard object,
carbon fiber can resist substantial shocks without damage.
Performance-wise, the A700 CARBON retains the same muscular performance as the
all-metal A700. Its air-balanced valve technology and oversized exhaust valve
work in conjunction with a well designed sectional exhaust tee, a first-rate
purge and responsive user controls to create a tech-tough breather with
effortless inhalation and an ease of exhalation that is unmatched. It's now just
lighter and tougher.
The A700 CARBON is teamed with the MK25 EVO, widely considered the gold standard
in first stage performance. This air-balanced flow-through piston design
delivers consistent and effortless airflow, regardless of depth, tank pressure,
or breathing rate. With its ultra-freeze-resistant Extended Thermal Insulating
System (XTIS) the MK25 EVO offers excellent thermal insulation by fully
isolating the mechanical elements of the first stage from the cold, all without
compromising breathing performance.
Finishing off this premium air delivery system is a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon)
BLACK TECH coating that's applied to both first and second stages. This unique
coating not only lends a sleek technical look to the system, its scratch- and
corrosion-resistant properties perform an important function in protecting the
reg against the strains and stresses of technical diving as well as the ravages
of the saltwater environment.
Put it all together and you have the MK25 EVO/A700 CARBON BLACK TECH, diving's
ultimate muscle reg, built with high-tech materials and sporting race-car-sleek
styling. It looks great, is ultra-durable, and delivers the best breathing
performance around.
