HiFonics ZXE1000/2

The HiFonics ZXE1000/2 from the ZEUS EVOLUTION series is a high-performance analog 2-channel Class A/B amplifier. With up to 2 × 500 watts RMS at 2 ohms or 1 × 1,000 watts RMS in bridge mode at 4 ohms, this power amplifier is suitable for both high-power speaker systems and demanding subwoofer applications.

The ZEUS EVOLUTION ZXE Series combines high output power with high-quality sound reproduction. Inside, it features meticulously engineered NE5532 operational amplifiers that enable precise signal processing and detailed music reproduction.

Its extensive features include adjustable high-pass and low-pass filters, a bandpass function, and a switchable bass boost. Thanks to high-level inputs with EPS (Error Protection System), an automatic power-on function, and start-stop compatibility, the amplifier can also be integrated into modern vehicles equipped with factory-installed audio systems.

The ZXE1000/2 also makes a strong visual impression with its solid, brushed-gray aluminum heat sink and black cast-aluminum side panels. The illuminated HiFonics logo can be switched between blue and white. In addition, the power and speaker connections feature blue backlighting. A bass-level remote control allows you to conveniently adjust the bass level from the driver’s seat.
