HiFonics ZXE1000/4

The HiFonics ZXE1000/4 from the ZEUS EVOLUTION series is a powerful Class A/B analog 4-channel amplifier that combines high output power with precise sound reproduction and versatile connectivity options.

With up to 4 x 250 watts RMS at 2 ohms or 2 x 500 watts RMS in bridge mode at 4 ohms, the power amplifier provides ample power reserves for high-performance speaker systems and subwoofers.

Inside, high-quality NE5532 operational amplifiers are used, ensuring clean signal processing and detailed sound reproduction. The built-in, fully adjustable crossovers allow for flexible adaptation to different speaker configurations. In addition, a bandpass function and an adjustable bass boost are available for the rear channels.

Thanks to its high-level inputs with EPS® (Error Protection System), automatic power-on function, and start-stop compatibility, the amplifier can also be integrated into modern vehicles equipped with factory-installed radio systems.

The high-quality enclosure features a brushed aluminum heat sink in gray and solid cast aluminum side panels. A HiFonics logo that can be switched between blue and white, as well as blue-illuminated connection terminals, give the unit its distinctive ZEUS look.
