Analog Processing the right way...the Zapco way...

From SQ Audio exclusively.

The finest preamp on the market...



  • This new Zapco EQ has a lot to live up to. Zapco has been bringing you the top Sound Quality processors since the PEQ was introduced in 1978. From the first SX equalizer model in 1992 to the SX-SL and SX-SLll, the Zapco SX in-dash processors have built a reputation for unsurpassed sound quality. The new ASP-Q1 will continue Zapco's reign as the leader in high performance analog processors. In re-designing the SX we had 3 goals. First and foremost was to set a new standard for sound quality. Secondly we added some features that were missing from the previous models. And third, we wanted to simplify the operation of the EQ's features. Here are some feature highlights:
  • • Overall System volume - To control the 9.5 volt preamp output • Separate bass level control - to balance the bass output to the rest of the system • Fader control - to balance front output to rear output, or midrange or mid-bass to the highs • Auxiliary input for your iPod or other portable source • Five bands of semi-parametric equalization - Each of the five bands has a variable center frequency so you can fix response problems anywhere in the frequency spectrum • Top panel controls allow you to set the system up for Sub + Front and Rear full range or Sub + dual high pass outs, or for an active 3-way system with a bandpass on the mid-range or Mid-bass • Individual channel gains for both Main-in and Auxiliary-in. • 9.5 Volts of preamp output to make your amps sound their very best. • The EQ knobs push in to stay out of way when you're not using them

Limited Edition Amplifiers from ZAPCO...Own a part of the LEGEND!

  • Well what Zapco did, was to take the best sounding amplifier we had ever made, and take it to insane new levels of performance. In 2011 Zapco produced the new Z-Series amps, and the response was incredible. Testers thought it was out best effort ever. Here’s what they said:
    "These are the best sounding amps Zapco has ever produced imo!!! They are absolutely beautiful too. The board layout is way better and the signal path is more direct. Better output devices and op-amps, this amp is doing it for me!!!!““ Or how about this... “This is one of the finest amplifiers I have ever heard. It is an SQ monster. And not just the bass. You really hear the difference in sound quality in the clarity and openness of the entire bandwidth. Every thing is right there and crystal clear."
    Which amps are they talking about? The first reviewer is talking about the Z-150.2. The second is speaking of the 150.4. Considered by most to be the best we’ve ever offered, these amps are the framework on which we built our next sound quality legend, the Z-series LE amplifiers. These will set the sound quality standards for years to come.
