Ultra-light, Built on a Legacy

Power amps have always been

heavy, mainly because of their
massive transformers and heat sinks.
Our new EPX Series amps are based on
groundbreaking switch-mode power
supply technology, which eliminates
the heavy transformer. As a result,
these amps weigh about 40% less
than their conventional counterparts.
In fact, the EPX2800 and EPX4000 are
just 22.3 lbs (10.1 kg) each, so you
can practically lift them with just one
fi nger. Best of all, EPX Series amps are
super-reliable and provide even tighter
bass performance than their predecessors,
since they can deliver ultra-high peak
currents on demand.

In a Class of Their Own

The secret to the EPX Series’ incredible

power-to-weight ratio is the use of a
switch-mode power supply combined
with Class-H topology. Because they

work on demand, instead of operating
continuously at full power, switch-mode
power supplies are much more effi

cient

than traditional power supplies.
And since they don’t require the massive
transformers and heat sinks typically
found in conventional power amps,
they are signifi cantly smaller and lighter,
yet still deliver ample power.

Think of a Class-H amp as being similar

to a car with two engines (in amps, we call
them “rails”). One engine runs all the time.
The other runs only when musical peaks
demand the extra power output. An EPX
Class-H amp only generates a fraction
more power than is immediately needed,
while the output stage operates at its
maximum effi

ciency all the time. And just

like in today’s hybrid cars, the effi

ciency

of this dual system is far greater than
having just one engine or rail that has to
operate continuously.
