In a Class of its Own
The secret to the EPX2800’s incredible power-toweight ratio is the use of a switch-mode power
supply combined with Class-H topology. Because
it works on demand, instead of operating
continuously at full power, a switch-mode power
supply is much more e cient than a traditional
power supply. And since it doesn’t need the
massive transformer and heat sink typically found
in a conventional power amp, the switch-mode
supply in the EPX2800 is signi cantly smaller and
lighter, yet still delivers massive 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 only
runs when musical peaks demand the extra power output. An EPX2800 Class-H amp only
generates a fraction more power than is immediately needed, while the output stage operates
at its maximum e ciency all the time. And just like in today’s hybrid cars, the e ciency
of the EPX2800’s dual system is far greater than having just one engine (or rail) that has to
operate continuously.

Accelerated Transient
Response Delivers the
Knockout Punch
It takes huge pulses of energy (current and
voltage) to propel a woofer cone out fast enough
to match a bass beat. That’s called Transient
Response and it’s the holy grail of amp design.
By carefully selecting transistors with extremely
high slew rates and optimizing other proprietary
parts of our circuitry, our amps are able to react
instantly to even the most demanding electronic
bass impulses. If the woofers in your PA system
can keep up, your audience will hear a tighter,
crisper, more natural sound.
Instead of operating relatively continuously like
most power amps, the EPX2800 features rail
tracking for e ectively modulating the power
supply rails with only the peaks of the input signal. This technology has revolutionized pro audio
amp designs with its outstanding performance and e ciency. When combined with switchingmode power supplies that do away with heavy toroid transformers, our new designs provide
more dynamic punch and, since they are so much more e cient, run cooler and don’t require
huge, heavy heat sinks.
