REF 500.1
1-Ch. Class AB High-End Amplifier
Conceived several years ago to replace the Studio Series, the first Reference Series amplifier range was completed in 2001.
The Reference Series (originally called AG) marked ZAPCO's first attempt to bring the qualities that had built the ZAPCO legend to a line of amplifiers accessible to all. The response exceeded the company's wildest expectations.
ZAPCO presents today the new Reference Series, not to offer an amplifier accessible to everyone, but to offer the best amplifier in its price range, with four new models of 1, 2, 4, and 6 channels, with a classy new design and selected internal components, to obtain the best audio performance. The new Reference Series amplifiers sound as good as, or better than, other companies’ most expensive amps.

FAQs
Q: How do I choose the right amplifier for my speakers or subwoofer?
A: Match the amplifier's RMS output per channel to the RMS handling of your speakers or subwoofer at the same impedance. The Specification tab lists the power figures. If in doubt, contact CEN with your setup and we will recommend a match.
Q: What wiring do I need to install this amplifier?
A: You will need an amplifier wiring kit sized to the amplifier's power draw, typically including power and earth cable, a fuse, RCA leads and a remote wire. CEN stocks complete wiring kits, and the amplifier's fuse rating is the guide to the cable gauge required.
Q: What class of amplifier is this and does it matter?
A: Class D amplifiers are compact and efficient, ideal for subwoofers and modern installs. Class AB designs are traditionally favoured for outright sound quality on mid and high frequencies. The class is listed in the Specification tab where provided.
Q: Will an amplifier work with my factory head unit?
A: Yes, in most cases. If your head unit has no RCA outputs you will need a line output converter to feed the amplifier a clean signal. CEN stocks line output converters and can advise the right one for your vehicle.
Q: Can CEN install this amplifier?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional amplifier installation from our Nottingham premises, including secure mounting, wiring and setup. Contact us to book.
