HiFonics ZXE3000/1

The HiFonics ZXE3000/1 from the ZEUS EVOLUTION series is a high-performance digital Class D mono amplifier designed specifically for demanding subwoofer applications. With up to 1,500 watts RMS at 1 ohm, the amplifier offers ample power reserves for powerful and controlled bass reproduction.

Its extensive features include high-level inputs with EPS® (Error Protection System), an automatic power-on function, start-stop compatibility, and numerous adjustment options for optimizing the subwoofer’s performance. An adjustable low-pass filter, subsonic filter, bass boost, and continuously variable phase control allow for precise tuning to the specific sound system.

One notable feature is the built-in master/slave function. This allows two identical ZXE3000/1 amplifiers to be connected and controlled together to increase the available amplifier power.

The ZEUS EVOLUTION series also impresses visually with its brushed aluminum heat sink in gray, high-quality cast aluminum side panels, and screw-mounted RCA connectors. The illuminated HiFonics logo can be switched between blue and white. In addition, blue-illuminated power and speaker terminals contribute to a striking appearance.
