Electro-Voice Q44 MKII Power Amplifier (450 Watts)

The Q44 is based on EV's reference-standard P-Series. It guarantees the same high-quality construction and output, with a maximum power capability of 2x450 watts @4 Ohms. The Q44 is designed for cost-limited, mobile applications and an excellent choice for small fullrange tops and utility loudspeakers, such as ZX1, Sx Series or EVID series.

Each new generation of Electro-Voice amplifiers inherits more than 60 years of experience in amplifier design and manufacturing. From the beginning, Electro-Voice has always considered the audio quality of and amplifier to be as important as the output power and reliability. An EV amp will do more that just work through the toughest conditions; it will ensure your system sounds its best while running safely.

In the 1990s, EV launched its Precision Series amplifiers. The flagship P3000's success was built upon its groundbreaking headroom, accomapanied by electrcal and thermal stability under all load conditions. Failure was literally not an option with the P3000.

As direct decendants of the legendary P3000, Q Series amplifiers take Electro-Voice's unique amplifier design philosophy to a new level of performance, power, effiency and value.

With Q Series' efficient Class-H design, the permanent voltage rail is designed to cover the average music signal, rather than supplying the voltage for maximum output power. If dynamic peaks require a higher output voltage, the voltage rail is switched to the maximum. This process saves up to 50% of the… read more power consumption found in conventional amplifier designs, and results in a dramatic reduction in heat output. Q Series combines the sonic excellence and ruggedness of its Precision Series predecessors with Class-H innovation, all in a compact and affordable package. read less
