Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't MC2's new S series designed primarily for studio use? If so then weight isn't an issue, so rather than go through the expense of developing new SMPS, it'd be best to stick to what you do best.

No doubt, it's a lovely amp, and if I remember correctly, not hugely heavy either.

Indeed. Especially as most class-D amps state burst ratings. There's a reason for some people saying they use speaker rms rating x5 with class-D amps while they would only use speaker rms rating x2 for old school amps in same application ;-) Furthermore, many people refer to class-D as "digital amps" which isn't true as switch-mode output stages can be (and are in most cases) fully analogue.
lab.gruppen do the SMPS thing for years and years and there's not too many that failed I would know of. In comparison, there are quite many linear PS amps that make it to my workbench. Mostly burned output stages not PS issues though. The most critical parts in any power supply are still capacitors in my opinion. Not seen too many dead transformers (be it old school or SMPS) or rectifiers over the last years. Many small SMPS (especially in tc gear) fail due to bad capacitors. But again, this is not a general problem of SMPS but bad quality caps used for the job. |

If you want a nasty overcompressed tune to test your amps with here's one I made earlier:
I won't be releasing this version this was just a bit of an experiment really. Still trying to figure out how to mix to a decent loudness level and get the sub right as well as make the drums loud enough.

Always think bigger because your dreams might be the only thing holding you back.

just spent the last half hour of my life reading this thread. theres some serious bad blooded people out there ready to slag people/companys off at the 1st chance they get. Makes me wonder baout certain peoples input on this forum when most there replys to threads is just pure bitching...
Some guys out there are trying to acheive things, putting hard graft in time and time again, just to be blown down when somthing goes wrong, i dont know the whole story but ive seen more positive things said on here about matirix either via pm or reply to thread than i have bad.... And funily enuff the very non-constructive criticism is of the same members that find away to bitch about any other thread that they dont agree with, i thought this forum was here to help, constructive criticism is always a good thing but when your purley tryna pull people and companies down thats bad shit Tell me all the whiners out there?? can u make an amp thats gunna take the hammer your wanting to give it??? obviously not or youd be in your garden shed instead of bitching on here,..!!! Reply to this with one of your whinging in depth replys, you aint gunna get one back as your whinging and bitching has now taken 45 minutes outta my life... To all the guys tryna make a difference weather it be building the latest amp, or giving constructive critisism to help the guys that are building the amps then  to all the moaners.... well id get suspended if i put a pick up for that |

Rich old chum!
You will get people put you down on what ever you do!!! Thats just what people do for some reason they enjoy it. Everyone has made their mistakes its sorting them out and learning from them that makes a person or (company) stronger......... Personally I think any British Manufacture that is putting electronics on the Pro Audio market is good news :) And if we can support them by giving our good and bad feedback we should. BUT there is certain ways of doing things and some people are just out there to start trouble and that is WRONG........ |

agreed jase, thats what i was trying to say, rather than saying "ha that was embracing for them" why not come out with something constructive.
I agree with the remark about putting uk on map, massive thumbs up for that i cant fault em, as long as lessons are learned and faults solved, thats what its all about. Ive not seen many posts complaining of faults from people that have bought a matrix to use "not to test by spanking to death" Infact i maybe wrong, but electrikals full rack is matrix, and i saw a comment from them saying that they use matrix on bass for everything unless the full rigs out on dubstep dutys then they prefer inf8 mk 2, it goes onto say the matrix can handle it but the inf felt a bit warmer on dubstep... |

guess that will change now too... Class G amp range sounds harder than their class A/B amps. Now that they changed to all class A/B i assume the rig will sound warmer than before ;) |
