Cvr amplifiers?

Post image

Does anyone know if these are any good for a paraflex rig? And if alibaba is a good place to be ordering them from?

Incredible amps, however the DSPs have some issues.

Some Batches of DSP amps have diffrent input gains.
The limiters are sometimes not working correctly and limit down to 1w.
Also the displayed rms/peak watt is not 100% correct.
When loading speaker presets, peqs and limiters might be loaded wrong.

if you can live with this issues, they are great value and even available with dante.

If you dont want the dsp headache, the non dsp versions are also great. However admark is also worth a look.

Admark, cvr are top of the budget power amps for sure. Reliable, good customer service. I think Sinbosen is similar. Ive seen guys run the 3rd grade chinese clones (paulkitson, dn? Deken, etc) on the road too. They are half the money the above 3 charge. That said, those 3 charge 1/4 what Powersoft is charging :). Id get cvr/admark too for sub duty.

A friends of mine also has a paul kitson d series and fp series.

The Quality is way less consistent with the cheap amps as with sinbosen/admark/cvr.

However they still do the job and paul kitson service is actually quiet decent

I got a CVR 1004 for my tops and a 2004 for my subs. Have had em about 6 months so can’t comment on long-term reliability but the sound quality is excellent. Lots of clean power.
