For a new generation of sound, ultra-efficient, super 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 toroid’s/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, tested as they are placed on the board, to help optimize the signal paths and minimize the need for point-to-point wiring while keeping the board temperature even for more predictable operations.

Thanks to an extended frequency response range from 34KHz up to 50KHz and an architecture that has been meticulously designed for the ultimate sound quality. One problem that amplifiers 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, bias and heat are adjusted in real-time. This eliminates the thermal lag often encountered in conventional designs.

Most 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.

The HIPPO amplifiers are incredibly stable under difficult low-impedance speaker loads and deliver MASSIVE power with audiophile-quality sound. Additionally, a short path design and redundant systems (with Reactive Load Monitoring and other exclusive protective technologies) ensure that peaks are effortless reproduces and guarantee a long life of high performance.

The HIPPO series of amplifiers can deliver stable, continuous power at maximum output without affecting one and another, even when driving the lowest impedances. While some amplifiers oscillate or run out of power under these conditions, the HIPPO amplifiers remain perfectly stable. Conservatively rated, in a compact design shaped to minimize hum, the low-impedance oversized toroid’s/transformers make no sacrifices in delivering a continuous supply of pure, clean, low-noise power.

Furthermore, the amplifiers sections are connected to the power supply capacitor bank with minimized power supply impedance and internal cabling inductance, providing a clear path for maximum power. This keeps the output impedance remarkably low while making more power available to the amplifier. Even when driving lower or complex impedance loads, the result is audibly superior performance. Reactive Load Monitoring with 7 Way Sentinel Protection Circuitry: Exclusive RLM technology monitors internal temperature, current, and voltage to ensure safe and uninterrupted long-term operation. RLM is not in the signal path, so it never interferes. Instead, RLM engages instantly, but only under the most extreme circumstances, to protect the amplifiers and speakers from damage, while lowering the chance of a line fuse blowing during an over-current condition.

The HIPPO amplifiers were designed and engineered in the USA with the help of Dirk Ecker, the original U.S. Amps engineer. From the idea stage to thermal manufacturing specs, Massive Audio has complete control over the entire intricate process. Massive Audio takes pride in this personal attention to detail, using only the highest quality components, many designed and engineered exclusively for Massive Audio. 1-Year Warranty we believe the HIPPO amplifiers deliver the best value we've ever offered in a competition-quality, high-performance amplifier!
