Features

Technology

Working in stereo, parallel and bridged modes CPD4800 is built for a multitude of sound system formations. Brand new class H topology has resulted in a dynamic, high headroom amp made for propelling your loudspeakers through thick and thin with complete clarity.

Precision Control

Large rotary dials accurately adjust gain levels, and you will know when to do so from the clear and simple front panel. A 4 segment led formation displays shows vital power status, level, limit and protect information, keeping the sound engineer in the know.

Easy cleaning

Amplifiers often work in hot and dusty environments and, over time, the fans of an amplifier can easily suck this in. Dirty cooling fans reduce efficiency and can lead to overheating. Its for this reason that we made the CPD series easy to clean. Simply unscrew the front grille, bush off the air filters, and put the grille back on. This easy maintenance means that a CPD amplifier can survive in the most hostile of working environments.
