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.

STRAIGHT WIRE: SPEAKER CABLES
  

These are used to connect power (amps, receiver) to speakers. They carry both signal change and power compared to interconnects which only carry signal change. Premium speaker cables should be designed with abundant high quality conductors and insulation to maintain signal integrity and have low enough resistance to not limit current flow.& Most premium speaker cables have multiple insulated conductor groups in a non parallel con- figuration to minimize and control electromagnetic and electrostatic distortions.
Length, power and sonic tendencies of related components and the room environment should be considered in the selection process. Termination options include gold plated spades, banana plugs and pins as well as silver solder tinned ends.
Many speakers are designed with multiple binding posts to enable bi-wiring or tri-wiring. Based upon the crossover design, power source(s) chosen and other technical factors, this option should be considered with the aid of a knowledgeable AV professional.

Class D efficiency with Class AB Sound. Only at Zapco.

  • Zapco introduced the industry to great sounding Class D amplifiers some 10 years ago with the famous 9.0XD. In those days, the filtering and control systems needed to make Zapco sound quality in a Class D amplifier meant it had to be expensive and it had to be big.
    Today's technology, however, has allowed us to develop a line of great sounding full range Class D amps at an affordable price range and in a size that's an easy fit in today's smaller cars. Small car doesn't have to mean small sound, and you won't have to give up the back seat for an amplifier. And even motorcycles. In fact, at only 6.3" x 6.7", the ST2D is the ideal amplifier for a motorcycle faring. Small size, big power. And talk about POWER! This tiny little monster is going to give you 400watts RMS. With that kind of power in your faring, you're going to need louder pipes, and, since these little power houses are Zapco amps, you know they're going to sound great.
