Germany - Brand-new from Electro-Voice, makers of the world-tour-proven Precision Series P3000 amplifier, are Q Series amplifiers, four models that offer "outstanding audio quality, reliability, and value for a wide range of mobile audio applications".

The new series continues EV's proven concepts in amplifier technology, providing "superior dynamic headroom, transient detail, and a full protection package," says the company.

Based on Class-H layout for maximized efficiency and reduced weight in a 2U design, the amp family features additional switchable LowPass Notch (LPN) filters, providing extra fundament and kick as well as protective low-cut when driving compact 12" or 15" full-range speaker cabinets without subwoofers.

The Q Series is launching with four models: Q1212 (2 x 1200W @ 4 Ohms / 2 x 1800W @ 2 Ohms) -the Q Series flagship offers the horsepower to challenge its Precision Series predecessor, the P3000. It provides the same power from a 2U case at modest weight, making it a perfect subwoofer or high-power-top-drive.

Q99 (2 x 900 Watts @ 4 Ohms / 2 x 1250W @ 2 Ohms) - with ample power headroom, the Q99 represents an "excellent combined top & sub drive for most club-sized systems," says the company.

Q66 (2 x 600W @ 4 Ohms / 2 x 900W @ 2 Ohms) - "the Q66 provides plenty of power to drive a huge variety of small-to-medium sized full-range speaker systems."

Q44 (2 x 450 W @ 4 Ohms / 2 x 650W @ 2 Ohms) - the base model. "An excellent choice for small tops and utility loudspeakers," the company adds.
