The new STUDIO Series

The Studio-X line of amplifiers from Zapco was designed specifically for today’s car audio market. The Studio-X compact chassis makes it an easy fit in any car and even in motorcycle fairings.

The square, low profile chassis also means it will be easy to trim out for a great looking installation so your system will look as awesome as it sounds. And speaking of sound...This is a Zapco amplifier and sound is what it’s all about. These are Class A/B Zapco amplifiers.

The Studio-X have the same high quality caps, op-amps, and bi-polar outputs that made the C2K and Reference series amps the industry standard for sound quality. 

Reliability? Zapco defines reliability. It’s not at all unusual to see Zapco amps moved from car to car and from generation to generation. Zapco Amps produced in the ‘90 are still being traded and bought on the internet by sound quality fans world wide. The Studio-x will be no different.

 

These amps are built to last. See the Studio-X amps at a dealer today.

It is hard to tell where science ends and passion begins, when they are running together with the same goal. Zapco's fifth generation processors were born to this area. The passion behind this project, and the driving force behind the required research, has been to create a digital system that had the sound of the best digital and analog systems available today. After all, listening to live music is absolutely an analog experience. The projects goal is not just the purest sound reproduction, but rather the purest sound reproduction in the listening environment, regardless of whether it is in a car, a home room or a concert hall. We brought together scientists from electronics, acoustics and digital processing, united in the effort to bring this to realization.

Zapco introduces the next generation of in-car processing. The Zapco Gen-V. The V-Series of HDSPs bring tuning features and sound quality never before offered in a car DSP. Up to 16 channels means you can build active systems at every corner of a multichannel sound system. HD means these are available with HD audio players as well. In fact, Zapco HD processors go beyond today's normal 24bit, 96/192 Khz high resolution standard. This means that today you can reproduce music superior to MP3, and even superior to CD quality. And when the next step in HD reproduction comes the Zapco HDSP will be ready to play it.

Included Wi-Fi and optional APTX HD Bluetooth allow the HDSP to connect to all auxiliary “smart” devices.

Elevated To Perfection

 

The 8000 Series can be considered the direct heir to the 7000 Series. The goal was to renew a variety of speakers in itself exceptional, with the help of the latest technologies and the use of the best materials available today, always with installation versatility in mind. Key to the development of this type of car speaker system was to build on their exceptional musicality. In the 8000 Series, every detail was treated with the utmost care, from the choice of materials, the forms, construction and finishing of the baskets, to the ventilation systems of the magnets and  voice coils. We have improved what was thought to be difficult to improve and we strongly believe we have laid the foundation for a new series of exceptional car speakers.

Main Construction Features

 

• Multi-amp or single amp connection.
• Clear acrylic cover for better ventilation and component protection.
• Gold-plated spacers and screws.
• Gold-plated, large diameter parameter adjustment jumpers for zero resistance and ultra-high load capacity.
• Air wound coils to minimize distortion.
• Large diameter (1.5 mm), 99.9% pure copper coil wire. 
• Anti-inductive resistors with dissipating aluminum body helps to manage very high power while remaining relatively cool and maintaining consistent resistance.
• Very high quality bi-metallized capacitors for maximum transparency of details in the mid/high frequencies. To increase the response speed, the tweeter uses a configuration of lower value capacitors in parallel.
• Compact size and practical mounting system with 4 screws.
