HD1500 ULTRA LIGHT 1500W POWER AMP

Carvin's value-featured HD1500 amp delivers an impressive 1500W bridged at 4 ohms providing plenty of power for subwoofers. Its clarity surprises everyone with its fast 50uv output stages delivering superb natural sound. It's designed to run at 2 ohms delivering 750 per channel, 450w at 4 ohms (1500w bridged) and 300w at 8 ohms (bridged 900w). Features include 94% efficient CLASS D amps, 100 Hz subwoofer crossover, built in limiters protecting drivers and balanced 1/4" and XLR inputs and Speakon™ and binding post outputs. The 2RU rack aluminum chassis holds the weight down to 9 pounds. Each amp is Audio Precision™ tested, which includes a burn-in under full load to assure reliability & specs.

Unlike comparable amps in this price range, the HD1500 is fused at 15 amps allowing you to get the full rated output at 2 ohms/channel or 4 ohms bridged. The best news is that it's made in the USA where nothing else in its category is manufactured.
