ZED Audio

Found this link, and I am trying to find out if this is the guy that used to work for Mr Mantz. http://stores.ebay.com/Audio-Clinic

Just wondering when the new amps are scheduled to come out, and when the if you have any progress on the tube amps.

There doesn't seen to be any markings (to show the version) on leviathan amps.Can anybody tell me how I could verify a used leviathan is version 1,2 or 3? Thank you

i found a website that sold CDT amps for pretty much almost Zed prices... http://www.lightav.com/car/cdt/cdtamplifiers.html im debating on whether or not to get the SQA-1600 since there are no miniliths left... but im not sure since the amp would be a different color then my Zed Glads

Can anobody confirm is this board layout authentic? I looks some part nex to power suply is missing but maybe i am wrong? I realy like this amp, and if this is ok i will buy it for my sub.

Hi! Everyone! I'm a new member here in Cali., I'm so glad I've found this site! A lot of guys here are very knowledgeable.Not only brand specific but any brand in particular. Yesterday, I drop by Zed Audio, to have my Us acoustics 4065 fix, & spent some time with Mr. Mantz.Happy to say He's doing really well. Right now he's concentrating on home pro audio set-ups. anyways, I bought a Deuce amp to feed my Solo's.All I can say is this amp is wow! "SIMPLY AWESOME!", I'll be adding it to my Zed amps collection, namely, lanzar optidrive 1000.1d,Lanzar opyidrive 100.4, Lanzar opti sl50, US Acoustics usf 1000f and 4065, All in mint like brand new condition.Thank you!

Hey guys, I didn't even know this forum was here until someone posted a link elsewhere. Yo Stevo, you should inform your loyal customers of these things. I've had the Zed Audio Draconia for months now and am really happy I bought it. I'll have to take it back over to Zed so Stephen can hear it again with the new Oz Audio speakers. I replaced one of those $1,000 amps that don't tru-ly stand up to their name. The Draconia is very clean with no noise, rarely gets warm, is detailed, and has great control. I've had the bug to go active, just haven't decided between adding a Minilith for the sub, or a BB'd Gladius for the tweeters.

i currently have a us acoustics USA4050 (50x4 @ 4 ohms) running my mids and tweets active, and it just isnt enough power for them. my mids are 8 ohm coils. unless i find a good deal on a big power, small footprint amp, i'll be picking up either a USA4080 (80x4 @ 4, 240x2 4 ohm bridged) or a USA2150 (2x150 @ 4 ohm) to run the mids, and bridge the 4050 to my tweets. how would those 2 options compare efficiency wise? the 4080 bridged would run the 8 ohm mids with a lot more headroom than the 2150 right? how does running 2 amps for my mids/tweets compare in efficiency to running one big amplifier with dual power supplies, along the lines of a DD S4 or a zuki eleets? any zed …

I usually hang around phoenix phorum. I have an account here and since i just ordered some stuff I thought I would pose a question to someone who may actually be able to answer it correctly :-) I'm getting rid of a few things and posted up my USA 2150. Almost immediately the thread went south with someone wanting to know how this amp could possibly have these ratings with only a 35 amp fuse. Of course my reply, which may shock some of you was " If you run anything other than 4 ohm stereo pop in a 50 amp fuse just like hifonics" . Is this the right answer? OR ...Can the USA 2150 do rated power with a 35 amp fuse? Now for amp porn....

I am using a Dual 1 Ohm Fi Q that I want to wire up to a 2 Ohm load so I can have 1200 watts available, bridging two minilith. So I would wire in series. amp + to sub + amp - to sub - sub + to sub - However I am looking at the manual and it shows the two amps bridged and the picture show the negative terminals are to only connect to each other with the positives terminals going to the amp. amp + to sub amp - to slave amp - (interconnect ground) slave amp + to sub So how am I supposed to wire this? Am I to assume that since it is bridged, that the slave amp + is now the - and hook it up that way? Thanks for the help!

I'm in the market for a new amp to go in the house, and I got to thinking... Anyone know if Steve ever had his hand in making any home audio amplifiers? I know he does A LOT of contracting and designing for other companies and I figured he must have made some over the years. I'll probably give him a shout during the week and ask him personally, but thought someone on here might know as well. I'd love to have a Zed amp in the house.

Stephen & I have been working on the overhauling of his old website for around 6 months now. We have made it to this point. The launch of the new site. There are still some changes in the works, like a brand new fresh page, and professional product photos of his awesome 2011 amplifiers! Once those photos come back in about a week or so, the site will come alive! In the mean time, feel free to check it out, comment, rate, share on the zedaudiocorp.com website! Thanks for looking! http://www.zedaudiocorp.com Front Page Online Catalog Product Page Tech Talk

the title says it all. the funny thing is its used and priced more than it cost new. Z

Hello! I've bought my Draconia (2 pcs) in Jan 2013 at Ebay,WoofersEtc store. It was sold as NEW. Few days ago, there was a problem, so I had to disassemble one of my amps (short circuit in two mosfets at 2nd channel btw...my fault, never mind). Here is the picture of back side of PCB. There is soldering traces, flux, some kind of resistors etc. And it all look not like factory view. Is it normal for Zed amps? If it is not normal, I want to warn you, apparently, Woofers Etc store sells repaired (maybe even badly) amplifiers under the guise of new. P. S. Sorry for any mistakes, english is not my native language)

Disregard. Sorry.

Will you please explain function of this component and how it is different than the Epicenter. Thanks.

I am sure this is an easy one. I don't even know if it's a dumb question but ... On the ZED Leviathan amp, what is the FLAT button on Channels 5+6? What does it do on and off? I see it has something to do with running channels five and six in low pass, but that's the extent of my knowledge as to what that button does. TIA

I have a dealer news letter from Ian Castell dated Feb.9 1993 talking VERY Excitedly about some of the New Series VIII products to newly be launched. Lastly listed is "NEW DDAP processor-AURORA VIII launches a new era in automotive sound recreation. Incorperated in a 3 piece design (din size,dash mounted menu driven controller, and trunk mounted central processor unit and power supply) are Two equalizers (one parametric, one graphic) a totally variable 6 way electronic crossover, preset and customizable surround sound fields and delays, compensation for automotive speaker time smears by deploying digital time alignment, and built in noise gate technology. BEST of all Sug…

I just want to know if I can run 6 mid drivers from it. I want to cross at 63Hz and 2800hz Each driver would be on a separate channel. Tried contacting ZED Audio through pm never got an answer. Nobody answered me on the group sale either so I hope I get an answer this time.

So I hear that ZED is coming out with new amps? I am planning to get the Leviathan BUT if there is maybe some new product coming out, specifically in the 5-6 channel amp department then maybe I should wait and see. Can anyone give me any clues as to if what I heard was correct and about the possibility of new 5-6 channel ZED amp? TIA

I know this is not the right place and I just registered finally (So these are not officially listed as for sale with the 25 post forsale requirement) but thought I would just give the heads up that a Q175.2 and Q120.4 are going on Ebay soon. Both were sent in to Zed about a year ago for updates and bench tested. And are 8/10 cosmetically. My Draconia and Deuce are serving me well until the next release (; Since this is the Zed forum I just wanted to mention it here and am not soliciting in any way... I am only mentioning this here as I know this is where the diehard Mantz people are....(; azmcrae.

Ok I have an old Vulcan VIII in the garage and was thinking that it is only 4ohm stable bridged then read something about running a larger fuse for 2 ohm. What is the real deal on these? Thanks! David

Hi everyone, I need some advice! I recently took out my Zed Gladius w/Burr Brown to send it in for repair. I have the chance to buy a Zed Deuce without the B.Brown upgrade. Would there be a difference in SQ between the two amps? I know the Deuce has more power, so it might be better overall for my comps. I'm running a set of DLS UP6i's with the passive crossovers, which is rated at 150 wrms, 180 wmax. Does the Burr Brown make much of a difference, or will the extra power (without BB) make my comps sound better? I know it'll get louder, but I'm worried about the SQ. What would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance.

Proper setting for Kronos to power up Morel Ultimo 12? Should I set to flat or LP? Using a Alpine H701 processer.
