Description
Technology
Working in stereo, parallel, and bridged modes, the CPD4800 is built for a multitude of sound-system formations. Brand-new Class H topology has resulted in a dynamic, high-headroom amp made for propelling your loudspeakers through thick and thin with complete clarity.
Precision Control
Large rotary dials accurately adjust gain levels, and you will know when to do so from the clear and simple front panel. A 4-segment LED display shows vital power status, level, limit, and protect information, keeping the sound engineer in the know.
Easy Cleaning
Amplifiers often work in hot and dusty environments and, over time, the fans of an amplifier can easily suck this in.
Dirty cooling fans reduce efficiency and can lead to overheating. It’s for this reason that Wharfedale made the CPD series easy to clean. Simply unscrew the front grille, brush off the air filters, and put the grille back on.
This easy maintenance means that a CPD amplifier can survive in the most hostile of working environments.
