Wharfedale S1500 Amplifier

The new "S-Series" amplifiers are the latest dual channel sound reinforcement amplifier line offering from Wharfedale Pro. The range consists of three models: S-1000, S-1500 and S-2500.

Each model is packed into a convenient, two rack space unit with identical functional layout. Each model offers a different power rating allowing for varied and flexible sound reinforcement applications.

The front panel of the S-Series models provides simple, real-time status conditions with LED indicators for Power, Protect, Bridge, Peak and Signal Present along with convenient operating controls that include a power switch and volume controls for each of the two input channels.

Various mode assignments are provided on the rear panel with easy-to-use MODE SWITCHES that provide assignment options such as signal limiting, low cut filter engagement and frequency selection, stereo and mono input mode selection and output bridging.

Also featured are industry standard XLR and ¼" balanced input jacks along with 4 pin, NL-4 style Speakon™ output jacks and standard binding post output connectors. Multiple wiring output configurations are available.

The S-Series amps are fan-cooled with a cage-protected, rear panel mounted fan that provides adequate air-flow to internal components. An integral AC power circuit breaker is provided on the rear panel and a standard IEC power connector is provided.
