Zapco Studio X Series - Manual (Page 2)

Zapco has a reputation for sound reproduction and quality that is
unsurpassed. It is our dedication to sonic purity and our passion for
performance that built that reputation. With all the new amps coming into
the market, not one has been any threat to Zapco’s standing as the
premium amp and processor line. Just check the audio competition scene
and the audio forums. The pros know what to use to win.
But not everyone wants to compete. The question was this. Can Zapco
put it’s 40-yrear of audio experience to work to develop an amp for every-
day use? An amp that all can afford but that will stay true to the Zapco
heritage for sound and reliability?.
Absolutely! We can and we have! The new Studio X series is a test-
ament to the fact that you can build a quality product with great sound in
an amplifier for every-day use.
The high quality 1% metal film resistors that we used in C2K and
Reference amps? They are right here in the Studio X. The high current
5532 Op-Amps from the C2K Competition amps are in the Studio X also,
and the Studio X uses high-end KEC outputs just like the Z and ZX series
amps.
How about power? The Studio X amps may not have the power of our
big competition amps, but these little powerhouses are certainly not shy.
The A/B full range-amps have over 50 watts RMS/ch at 4Ω and about 100
watts RMS/ch at 2Ω. The Studio X bass amps are 1Ω stable at
500w,
1000w, and 1500watts RMS.
Along with all that performance, you need an amp that will actually fit in
you car, few if any modifications. The Studio X is just what you ordered.
Only 2” tall and 6.4” wide and 11” long (ST-4X). Even the longest amp
(ST-5X)is only 15”.”
Power, price, size, and performance. No it’s not designed for competition.

Of course, if you do want to jump into the competition lanes with your new
ST-X series amp, you probably won’t be alone.
So go ahead...Pop in your favorite disk, grab the volume, and see if you don’t
agree. Dedication to sonic purity is definitely a good thing
