The new VORTEX class of analogue amplifier
technology from CARPOWER. It combines the audiophile sound quality with
the power and volume capability typical of CARPOWER in a unique way.
The innovative features and the particularly effective heat sink design
emphasize this claim to top class as well as the optimum direct
connections for power capacitors.
State-of-the-art car HiFi power amplifier,
2 channels, 2 x 300W/4Ω, 1400WMAX.
The 2-channel power amplifier with enough power for extreme full range
and subwoofer applications. With a perfectly effective PSU and
high-quality Sanken transistors, this flagship of the VORTEX amplifiers
provides a level of power which is rarely reached by analogue
technology at this price. The versatile equipment is optimized with
regards to the specific applications. The power amplifier can be
switched between low-pass and full range mode. The high-pass can
additionally be switched on which is then able to
be used as a var. subsonic. Even kick bass operation for
extra high levels is also possible in the low-pass mode with high-pass
switched on. With a continuously adjustable phase control, gain control
up to 8V, and as a special feature a switchable 2-way EQ in
semiparametric design (var. level and var. frequency), almost anything
is possible. The line out can be used full range or with high-pass of
100Hz switched on. For far above 1kWRMS at 4Ω(!), this power
amplifier can, of course, be bridged. Apart from the protect LED,
an additional clip LED will ensure a higher operational
safety. The operation is indicated via a blue illuminated logo panel.
Autohifi 5/04:
"TEST WINNER. Power amplifier at the most favourable
price in the top class.
Price/perf. ***** (Best unit in the test field). Hats
off!"
