Ultra-light, built on a legacy
Power amps have always been
heavy, mainly because of the massive
transformers and huge banks of
capacitors needed for high-power
operation. In fact, six conventional
power amps in a rack can easily top
250 pounds. The same number of
EPX Series amps come in at just under
134 lbs / 61 kg, and they pack all the
power of their conventional counterparts!
In a class of their own
The secret to the EPX series' incredible
power-to-weight ratio is their use of a
switching-mode power supply combined
with Class-H topology. Switching-mode
power supplies work on demand. Instead
of constantly working at full power
and dissipating excess power as heat,
they only ramp up the power output
when needed—thousands of times per
second. Considerably more efficient than
traditional power supplies, switching-
mode power supplies are small and light,
yet deliver ample power.
Think of a Class H amp as a car with
two engines (in amps, you call them
"rails"). One engine runs all the time.
The other runs only when musical
peaks demand 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 efficiency all the time.
And just like in today's hybrid cars, the
efficiency of this dual system is far greater
than having one engine or rail that must
operate all the time. EPX amps don't
waste power. Class H amps don't waste
power, require much smaller heat sinks
and much lighter power transformers.
