The Vortex 200V is Camco's new flagship, the latest addition to the company's line of pioneering digital amplifier products. Specified at more than 3kW per channel RMS at 4 Ohms, the Vortex 200V delivers voltage at the output of 200V per channel. It shares the standard features of the Vortex Series, such as on-board Remote Control; power transistor control with emergency shutdown in case of extreme malfunctions; reliable over-voltage protection; thermal protective circuitry for the transistors, and hum-free operation in case of extreme under-voltage (instead of sound-deteriorating limiters).
Camco's Tecton Series, launched last year, is a range of power amps featuring the latest developments in the company's High-Efficient-SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply). The latest addition to the line is the Tecton 36:2, which produces 2 x 1800W at 2 Ohms at full duty cycle. Targeted at the sound contractor and rental company market, the Tecton Series delivers the same standards of high-level performance, low dynamic distortion and superior sound quality that characterise the Vortex range, but in a more accessible price bracket, say Camco. With seven models, from 2 x 420W/4 Ohms, the range is optimized for use with either higher or lower impedances, and all models offer three operational modes: parallel mono, bridged mono and stereo. All Tecton amplifiers are compact and light, weighing just 10kg in a 2U chassis.
Finally, Camco will also unveil new Wincai remote control software, which has been completely redesigned at the front end. Improved graphics, a modern ergonomic user interface, the new package supports multi-threading for simultaneous use of multiple Ethercai servers.
