In keeping with US Amps’ (parent company of RE Audio) 25-year tradition of building amplifiers that consistently set a new reference standard in amplifier design, the XTX 1500.1 offers half the size for the equivalent power of past designs as well as greater dampening factor and improved efficiency. Despite its tiny 7.9- x 7.5- x 2- inch footprint, RE Audio Engineers were able to produce an impressive 500 Wrms into one ohm and offer features like variable subsonic filter, bass boost circuitry and low pass crossover. In addition, the XTX 1500.1 is master/slaveable and comes with a remote bass control knob.
