W Audio Zenith 3000 Amplifier Ref: AMP05 The Zenith amplifier range from W Audio has been designed and engineered to work in any demanding installation or touring environment with military endurance.
Oversized multi-speed fans and large heat sinks will keep the output stage cool even under the most extreme conditions. Service and maintenance is easy as the internal architecture is laid out for easy access by qualified technicians. Made with a heavy gauge welded steel chassis with vibration proof fittings and an emphasis on over engineering guarantees years of trouble free service in demanding environments.
Many amplifiers distort with both channels loaded and driven before they hit full output power. Even some expensive "brand" name amplifiers will do this when presented with multiple drivers at low impedance (inductive load). The dirty signal makes it sound loud, but it will reduce speaker life. The Zenith amplifiers are designed to handle low impedance and inductive loads and when driven to excessive levels will "soft clip". The switchable limiter system is controlled by a high speed VCA chip that will limit both PEAK and RMS power to prevent clipping of the output stages. Price: £503.70 (£604.44 Including VAT at 20%)

W Audio Horizon 300 Amplifier Ref: AMP40 The Horizon Series uses the company's patented circuitry to provide unprecedented power in a single rack space package. Its austere case is no indication of the sophisticated design that lies inside.
A large PCB spans the full width of the rugged steel chassis, housing the power supply and extensive filtering components required by a switch-mode amplifier whilst a low-profile cooling fan draws air through the back panel and forces it through a channel shaped heatsink, exhausting it through a front-panel vent.
W Audio placed all the control functions conveniently on the front panel. Two solid-feeling knobs adjust each channel's input sensitivity whilst front panel LEDs indicate the amplifiers operational and signal level status. The rear panel accepts a wide variety of input and output connectors including Jack, XLR and Speakon.
Tremendous headroom in either bridged mono or stereo modes offers a punchier and tight bottom end and dynamics are effortless at high volumes, with crisp and snappy transients. The fan speed with no signal present idles slowly, but it speeds up immediately to match the demand of even moderate signal levels, returning to idle the instant as soon as demand is reduced.
Pound for pound the Horizon Series punches well above its own weight.
