HIFONICS ZEUS ZXE - The Amp-(R)Evolution

HIFONICS ZEUS ZXE - The Amp-(R)Evolution

The new HiFonics ZEUS EVOLUTION ZXE amplifiers feature highly functional features such as high-level inputs with EPS, auto turn-on, start-stop capability, fully adjustable crossovers, bandpass function, bass level remote controller and they are perfectly armed for multiple use in modern car hifi systems. No savings were made when selecting the internal components either: complex and expensive NE5532 op-amps are used, which are normally only found in much more expensive models. The result not only amazes with its high performance, but also with its incredibly fine sound. The brushed, gray aluminum heat sink is a feast for the eyes in itself. The black cast aluminum end caps also underline the value of the ZEUS EVOLUTION ZXE series. The visual highlight is the illuminated HiFonics logo, which can be switched from blue to white. But not only the logo is illuminated, the power and speaker connections also shine in HiFonics blue and provide another visual highlight.

Under the product name M5Evo it enters the stage including a cable set with loose ends, the M5 version comes with a 2.5-meter plug + play cable harness for ISO plugs.

ESX VE1300.11SP 11-Kanal Amplifier with DSP - The Masterpiece!

With an impressive output of 9 x 100 watts RMS into 4 ohms and an additional 2 x 200 watts RMS into 2 ohms, the groundbreaking VE1300.11SP sets a new benchmark in its category. It is ideal for complex sound systems, easily supplies an armada of speakers and can drive even large subwoofers via two special channels.

The exceptional quality becomes particularly clear when you take a closer look at the integrated high-end 12-channel DSP. It's hard to believe: It's none other than the EISA AWARD winning ESX QL812SP, which the ESX engineers simply transplanted 1:1! Insiders know that the QL812SP is more than generously equipped: its computing power is provided by two ADAU1452 DSP processors from the high-end manufacturer Analog Devices, controlled by a 32-bit ARM processor. High reserves and speed are guaranteed. The best Velvet Sound models from AKM are used as converters. This makes full HD audio possible. To bring the DSP power amplifier to life, the VE1300.1SP not only has 8 RCA, but also 8 high-level inputs. The latter are equipped with ESX's own “EPS PRO” so that the connection to factory radios with diagnostic systems also works in modern cars.

As is usual with the large QL and QE stand-alone DSPs, the VE1300.11SP also has Bluetooth on board as standard. With this connection you can either stream music wirelessly or - and this is really ingenious - you can control the entire DSP with a tablet or smartphone using the app called ESX DSP Toolkit, which was developed specifically for the new processors.

Made by professionals for professionals - The search for the "absolute top class" high-end DSP power amplifier is over: The brand new DSP power amplifier VE1300.11SP is the ultimate tool to transform your vehicle into a concert hall. Experience music like never before - the VISION ELITE SERIES brings emotions to every note and gives your sound setup a powerful expressiveness.
