General

The HPA series by dB Technologies delivers excellent performance and quality for a reasonable price. It was developed by the designers at the Swedish Lab.gruppen, a leading brand in the amplification world. With high-quality HD speakers you get a lot of power, outstanding sound quality and a relatively light amplifier.

The series consists of four class HD amplifiers that were developed for professional use in mobile amplification racks or fixed installations. All of the amplifiers in the series feature XLR inputs for the signal and lockable speaker connections for the speakers. You can rest assured that the amplifiers are kept safe with an expansive safety circuit, making the HPA series reliable and safe.

The HPA 1400 specifically is a quality amplifier suited for equipping satellite speakers with 300W RMS with sufficient power. The HPA 1400 delivers 2x 440 watts at 8 ohm, and is incredibly lightweight, weighing in at just under 40 lbs (17 kg). Because it is a class HD amplifier, the output is digital, and the voltage follows the input signal for optimal output. All of this results in high efficiency of about 90 percent. In short, this is a great amp for a great price.

Aangeschaft in de B-stock veiling, na 3 dagen in huis en hij deed het niet... Maar binnen 1 dag prima opgelost door de Bax jongens en meiden: Hulde!!

Ik heb nu 2 avonden met deze eindtrap gedraaid, behoorlijk gas d'r op (en de limiters aan op de achterkant) en echt een fijne eindtrap met ''echte'' watts.
Ik heb nu deze DB op 2 x 18'' subs staan van 35 tot 80 Hz en het klingt echt super dik.
De eindtrap is ook na een lange zware avond nog koud/lauw.
Ik heb de Inuke DSP 6000 verhuisd naar de 2x 2x15'' topspeakers (75 Hz - 20K Hz) omdat er toch vaak collega's zeggen dat de licht gewicht class D eindtrappen met geschakelde voeding, zoals de Inuke beter rendement hebben op het mid/hoog dan op sublaag: en ik vind het echt een super combi nu!
Van harte aanbevolen dus deze DB Technologies HPA 1400!
