ZED Audio

ive only ever really ran Rodek amps, ive had a couple 2150's to a couple 15''s and still have a 280 to a couple B-52 12''s and i also have a rodek cross over, now i got a 2300i and would like to know if i can run it down to 2ohm mono, ive had my 280 blow up at least 5 or 6 times and rebuilt, now it will run 2 ohm mono load all day, ive got 2 gauge wire going right to the board and dual fans on it, what an ugly looking beast now but i can hit 145 db on the termpro mic (pad) and ill pop any fuse smaller then 60amp, my cross over needs some work though, im only getting one channel out put, and im no longer in touch with the asian tech that had been servicing my amps before…

I'm thinking about using one of these babies for my next setup but im a little confused about the power ratings... in the two reviews here: http://www.zedaudiocorp.com/Products/leviathan.html the reviewers say it's rated 500w @ 4ohms 2 channels bridged and tested likewise here its says 600w: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/ZED-Audio-Leviathan.html i would like to run my 2 sundown subs at 300/per but im not sure if i should go with 1 or 2 due to power ratings. edit: subs are the SD-1 v2's rated at 400w

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

Are the current Nakamichi amplifiers made by Zed?

Anyone members interested in a June 2011 group purchase so We can get a discount on some Awesome products? I personally want to get a RA for the daily driver. I have a couple fellow audiophiles that have bought them & said the difference in fa nominal. After speaking with Steve about it I'm ready. "RA is a dedicated sub woofer control preamplifier. It interfaces between the signal source and the amplifier. There are four circuit blocks within RA, the low pass crossover, the sub-harmonic synthesizer, the compressor and the final gain stage. Specifications -Stereo input to mono output -24dB per octave Linkwitz Riley Low Pass crossover. -Twin band Sub-Harmonic Synthesize…

I'm getting ready to run this on a set of midbasses, it used to push the hell out of some Orion XTR's. I love it, just wanting some info. Any you may have... Thanks.

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 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 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.

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!

It's an '87 amp. I bought this amp several years ago for ten bucks, along with a buttload of old tapes and some wireless house speakers from my girlfriend's boss. Didn't have a use for it, and sold it to my cousin with a first run RF HE 8" sub. I now have the sub and amp back. Is this amp, in fact, a Zed amp?

Are the USX series of amp built by ZED? If so, Any thoughts on them. I've seen some around and thought I might buy one some time for the heck of it.

On Ebay and not the SSA store? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZED-AUDIO-MIKRO-IV-440W-RMS-4-CHANNEL-ADVANCED-CLASS-D-MINI-SMALL-AMPLIFIER-NEW-/400596438529?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item5d45688e01&vxp=mtr

Stephen, What do you remember about the Cadence amps you designed in the 90's? Did these amps have anything particular about them (design, technology) that you were trying at the time? Also, did you build the amps or just design them and have Cadence build them? As always, thank you for your time and knowledge.

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

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

Well, since there is a forum here now, I guess I'll be the first to post an actual question What's the efficieny like on the Miniliths? At both 2ohm and 1ohm?

I am looking to buy up some old school Zed HiFonics amps. I am only interested in the series VIII and VII. Let me know if you have any your willing to part with. Thanks, Eric [email protected]

I am about to place an order with ZED and was hoping to get some feedback from those who might be using the NEW Series of ZED amplifiers... Please share your thought's ....

Your site lists the Minilith and it states that it is the smallest suggesting that there are larger mono amps available. What are the larger amps, what are the specs and what are the prices? Thanks Jerry

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

Ok im in the market for a new amp... i was running a Zapco 360.4 but that was recently stolen so ive decided to try something new... i wanted the Draconia but from what i hear its going to be a LONG time before they are available again... my question is will 2 gladius work the same as 1 draconia in an active setup? if so: WTB x2 Gladius w/ BB chipset, but preferably 1 Draconia w/ BB (i know its a long shot but some1 maybe willing to part with one lol) i posted WTB here since i cant in sell/wanted

Ever since all of the discussion on ECA about Zed's new big six channel amplifier I have been interested. I couldn't seem to find the very first thread but here are the second and third. (from February 2005) second third I participated in the contest to pick the names for the new and large 6 and 4 channel amps. I actually won the six channel naming contest naming it the Leviathan. (no prize claimed yet) Been quite awhile since I have herad any news of how the building and testing of the prototypes are coming along. I realize good things take time, but I'm just curious if there are any developments. The Hammer

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.
