Electro Voice has announced it’s newest offerings in the Amp dept, the Q series.
The Q series has been around for a few years, with the Q44 and Q66, but with a complete aesthetic redesign, as well as internally, I’d call this a whole new page for the series. Also, note, this series is replacing the previously “renown” P series of amps from EV.
The Q series is all based on Class-H amp specs, which means for you and me maximized output vs size, as well as weight. Who doesn’t like a light amp! Did i mention this whole series is 2 rack spaces?
And to the details… Here are the 4 Models, as well as a few tid-bits about them.
Q1212
- 2 x 1200 Watts @ 4 Ohms, 2 x 1800 @ 2 Ohms
Q99
- 2 x 900 Watts @ 4 Ohms, 2 x 1250 @ 2 Ohms
Q66 – EV’s Site
- 2 x 600 Watts @ 4 Ohms, 2 x 900 @ 2 Ohms
Q44 – EV’s Site
- 2 x 450 Watts @ 4 Ohms, 2 x 650 @ 2 Ohms
Now we’ve yet to see the real world tests to see how long these amps can run @ 2 Ohms, but I have faith in EV’s team, and if they’re listing them to run at 2 Ohms, they’ll take the heat. Rather, they’ll get rid of the heat?
Other Points of interest on this line… Switchable Low Pass “Notch” (LPN) filters, providing lows w/ protection.
I’ve used the older version of the Q line, and must say they worked flawlessly, and transparently. Even close to the red.
