Power Amplifiers

Start with your speakers' power handling and impedance, then look for an amp that delivers matching output power without pushing past the loudspeaker's limits. Trigger inputs, front panel metering, and bay console space also factor into the decision for both touring racks and fixed installs. Some clients know the exact amp they want, and others want our help picking the right match before they buy.

Our stock changes as gear comes through our facility, but we regularly carry amplifiers from the manufacturers touring, install, and studio professionals already rely on. We also stock hi-fi names like Chord Electronics, including their Ultima series, and Schiit Audio for home audio and turntable setups. Contact our team if you're looking for a specific amp.

Yes. If you have power amplifiers, amp racks, or other pro audio gear you no longer need, we can buy it outright, trade it toward other inventory, or list and sell it through our managed selling program. Our team handles inspection, pricing, marketing, and shipping so you don't have to spend the bandwidth on it.

Every amplifier we sell is inspected and reconditioned by our technicians before it ships. We test each unit for output power, check trigger inputs and connections, and clean up the front panel and chassis. That's the standard we hold on every piece of amplification that leaves our facility.

Yes. Vacuum tubes are less common in pro touring racks today, but they still show up in studios, home audio setups, and some home theater builds where engineers want that particular warmth and character. Solid-state amps remain the standard for most live sound and install work because of their efficiency and absolute control over gain.

A switched-mode power supply is what makes most class D amps lighter and more efficient than older linear designs. It converts and regulates power at high frequency instead of relying on a heavy transformer, cutting down on size and heat and still delivering effortless power, with the flexibility to fit a tighter bay console.

Output power, measured in watts, tells you how much clean amplification an amp can send to a speaker or loudspeaker before it starts to distort. A higher wattage rating gives you more headroom, but matching an amp's output power to your speakers and sources matters more than chasing the biggest number on the front panel.

A linear amplifier, often solid-state, scales a signal up directly rather than switching it on and off the way a class D amp does. Linear amps tend to run hotter and larger for a given amount of output power, but many pro audio engineers still favor them for accurate sound through the digital domain and beyond.
