A beloved powerhouse

The t.amp E-1500 is one of Thomann's best-selling stereo power amplifiers, a success that is due in no small part to the performance and features it offers for such a budget-friendly price. It features a 19"/2U rack format and provides amplification across a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz while delivering 2x1,220W into four ohms, which allows it to provide sound for an audience of 250 to 300 people depending on the location. The E-1500 features XLR inputs as well as outputs in both speaker twist and screw terminal formats, so the most commonly used connection options are covered. Safe operation is also ensured by an onboard limiter and additional protection circuits.

Reliable and user-friendly

Being a class H amplifier, the E-1500 from the t.amp delivers both a high level of efficiency and low levels of distortion, and it can operate as a power amplifier with a signal-dependent supply voltage. In stereo mode, the two channels operate independently of one another, while in parallel mode, the speakers are connected to both channels and receive the signal from channel A. Finally, bridged mode allows the input signal from channel A to be amplified at twice the power. The amplifier's safety features include DC, short-circuit, and over-temperature protection circuits, and it is also very user-friendly thanks to its LED indicators, which help the user to operate it safely: Each channel features a signal LED to indicate whether a signal is present, as well as a clipping LED to indicate that an overload is present (and the integrated limiter has been activated) or a short-circuit has occurred. Further LEDs in turn indicate whether the amplifier is in an unstable condition or is overheating, as well as providing information about the active operating mode.

Connections on the t.amp E-1500 Stereo Power Amplifier

For DJs, bands, organisers, and rental companies

A wide range of users will find the answer to their specific requirements in the t.amp E-1500. For example, it is suitable for event organisers looking for an affordable but high-performance power amplifier for use in a fixed installation. Rental companies in turn can add this reliable power amp to their portfolio at an affordable purchase price and thus provide a robust and easy-to-use rental amp. And both DJs and bands can use the E-1500 to make their home or rehearsal room setup stage-ready and suitable for bars, youth centers, and even small clubs. More generally, however, anyone who can do without a soft start function, DSP effects, an integrated crossover, or a ground lift switch and does not require two-ohm stability can definitely take a closer look at the t.amp E-1500.

About the t.amp

the t.amp is one of the many in-house brands belonging to Musikhaus Thomann, and since 1998 has offered power amplifiers, complete passive PA sets, keyboard amplifiers, and connection systems. The brand’s entire product range delivers an impressive combination of quality and reliability at attractive prices, and users can find a convincing and affordable solution for every application: From youth clubs and sports halls through to congress centres and much more.

For small clubs and on the road

Whether it's for a live gig or a mini tour, the t.amp E-1500 is a reliable component for a band's PA. For large parties and small gigs, solo entertainers and DJs can also use this amplifier as a separate power amp for one or two subwoofers. For town festivals, two E-1500s can be combined to provide sufficient sound, while small clubs and large bars can also use the amp in their fixed installations even when the room has poor heat dissipation, thanks to its two temperature-controlled fans which provide adequate cooling. Those who want to transport the amplifier from place to place will appreciate both its compact height of 2U and its relatively low weight of 16kg.

Suprisingly Awesome.

This is no qsc amplifier, however it is extremely good value for money. I use this for tops and have to say it has brought out a side to them I never knew existed.

Build quality is excellent, weighs a fair few kilos however happy to compromise on weight for the power available.

My only criticism is the fact if cannot go down to 2 ohms per channel. This of course is a power limitation that would increase the cost so all in all very happy.

Havent tried this amplifier on any subs yet, will provide an update if I do decide to test this on some. Looks to have enough power reserves inside.

Popping open the cover (the best bit) presents neat cable management with a generous toroidal transformer and a good amount of smoothing capacitors, 12 in total rated at 63v, 10000uf each.

The two 80mm cooling fans are also very quiet.

Time will tell on reliability but overall very impressed.
Also included a good quality uk power cable free of charge, awesome stuff Thomann :)

Te
big power for the price
Tamp e1500 30.12.2022
i was hesitant to buy this due to the low cost but after reading some of the comments on it i brought it and let me say this thing has some major power and i have had it for a thew months now and it is powering 2 12 inch subs on bridge mode and there is still plenty of power left in the amp i did some tests and at 8 ohms stereo i got it to do 1200w just before clipping and that is well over the ratings they provide at 8 ohms so i guess it will do rated power at 4 ohms no problems

there is some negatives i can think off and they are is that this amp is heavy but for the price it isn't a problem , the next one being is that the 120v or 240v swich is on the bottom so it can easily get swiched from the power you are using then causing it to blow up, my last negative i see is that the rubber feet on the bottom are not that strong and they ripped off when i pushed the and along the table with not much effort but they can easily be replaced with some stick on feet

so for this price you can not beat the quality of this amp it is super well build and will last a long time so if you plan on getting it i will say 100% yes to getting it just cannot beat it
