H1000 - 1050 Watt RMS @ 1 Ohm Mono Block Hippo Series Amplifier

The Hippo Series High-Performance Amplifiers are the perfect match to our Hippo Series Subwoofers! 

For a new generation of sound, ultra-efficient, compact design with Massive Audio’s exclusive Massive Core design that adds tons of headroom for clean, undistorted pure sound. The Massive Core power supply with oversized toroids/ transformers delivers plenty of current to drive even the most demanding woofers and speakers. Top-quality parts and construction throughout ensure years of reliable, trouble-free service. Four-layered circuit boards, with surface-mount computer-assembled parts that are tested as they are placed on the board, help optimize the signal paths and minimize the need for point-to-point wiring while keeping the board temperature even for more predictable operations.

Despite their impressive output power, the Hippo amplifiers are not only subwoofer amplifiers. Thanks to an extended frequency response range of up to 40 kHz and an architecture that has been meticulously designed for the ultimate sound quality. One problem that amplifier designers encounter is thermal runaway, which impacts an amplifier's reliability and performance. Transistors used as output devices for audio amplifiers, are directly affected by temperature and voltage fluctuations. HIPPO amplifiers' transistors employ thermal sensing so that bias and heat are adjusted in real-time. This eliminates the thermal lag often encountered in conventional designs.

Select HIPPO amplifiers use a hybrid system of cooling, utilizing both convection cooling, with cool air coming from below, and active cooling using a state-of-the-art fan. This hybrid system makes the design exponentially more efficient. With the heat sinks constantly keeping amplifiers cool, the fans will normally operate at their lower, quieter speed, most of the time.

An optional Remote Gain control (UR1) is available for purchase.
