Devine is the instore brand of BAX shop and their budget gear has a good price/quality comparison. Bought this one for 80 euros' but still sells new for 220 euro. 



Apart from the single fan, looks exactly the same as a Dare DJ900 i bought a few years back.
Be seeing you.

And down here, RAM made some that look the same as well. Obviously a common design - with a horrible design fault. 

The RAM one's I've seen have slots above the fan. Cover that and they overheat - and go POP! One company here installed those in a few bars - where it can get really hot anyway. In the end - and after several repairs, I just swapped out for other amps. Really stupid.   Ouch

the same as master audio MQA 3100 rated as 2x300 watts in 4 ohm but the transformer is a joke..is only about 180 watts. i replace all the crap caps inside and now is sounding very sweet on 2 inc compression drivers.

And now for the one million dollar question.. where originated the design :) 

regarding the design flaw; it will go nicely with my other amps then.. Dynacord PAA's. in which the designers had the radical idea to let air flow from side to side....

From memory the Dynacord PAA range would draw cold air in at the front and out through the sides... this isn't that uncommon.... Crest used to do this on amongst others the LA, V and VS ranges.

I stand corrected.. indeed from front to sides.

 It's a silly design for a 'pro' amp that's more than likely going to live in a rack IMO, they could've just turned the PCB by 90 degrees and mounted the fan in the front or rear panel (or both!)...?  

 Edit; The Behringer km750 and T Amp e400 appear to use a very similar design;

Yup.

And do those also have slots in the top plate? Or do they rely on air flow from the sides? In any case - a really stupid design.

Someone is always going to put something on top of the amp and block the flow, never mind the obvious danger from spilt liquids, etc. The last amp I'd stick in a bar....   Dead

8 different brands selling an OEM design, with 8 different specifications, and all of them rather optimistic, with the devine pricey compared to other ones .. the wonderfull world of low-end gear always is interesting :)

Yes,agreed,very odd,given there would have been no additional cost in turning the pcb 90 degrees.

Dare were obviously aware of the overheating issue in fitting two fans to their version.

And here it is yet again, a Biema W220 this time.
