A New Level Of Sound Quality; History Of The Studio Series - zapco ST-X DSP 2021 Owner's Manual

A new level of Sound Quality

Zapco has a reputation for sound quality that is unsurpassed. It is our dedication
to sonic purity and out passion for performance that built that reputation.
With all the new amplifiers coming into the market, none has been any threat
to Zapco's standing as the premiere amp and processor company for pure
sound quality.
Just check out the audio competition scene. The pros know what to use to win.
Competition amps however, do not come cheap, and not everyone wants to
compete. The challenge then, was to put Zapco's 40 plus years of experience
to use in the development of an amplifier that would bring Zapco sound a line
of products for every-day use and that everyone could afford. And the studio
line is just that amplifier. In the time it has been out it has built a reputation as
the best sounding amp in the class.
Of course, not everyone buys strictly by sound (although they should). Maybe
it's the wrong color, maybe it's too big... or too small. But one thing is constant.
Everyone who hears the studio amps agrees; it sounds better than any other
product in the class.

History of the Studio Series

Perfection cannot be achieved. But that does not make its pursuit less valuable.
Zapco is committed to making every product we make better than the last.
We introduced the ST-X amps in 2013. In 2015 we improved the PCB design
and upgraded components to make the sonically improved ST-X II.
For 2018 we developed of the Studio X SQ amplifier to take affordable sound
quality to a new level. We added the proprietary RCA connectors from the Z-LX
amplifiers, changed the capacitors to a higher end audio cap, and made a few
other small changes. All this takes take the Studio sound to a new level of sonic
performance for an affordable amplifier.
For 2019, we brought digital processing to the studio line in DSP/AMPs that can
be controlled by PC or by iOS or Android mobile apps.
For 2021 we have upgraded the ST-DSP with new features and functions to
improve your listening experience. And developed a new fan cooled aluminum
heat sink for improved efficiency and reliability under extreme temperature
and hard play.
