I've just been advised by the Thomann export team shipping of the Proline3000 to Australia is not available due to it being too heavy for normal international shipment.

Can anyone suggest an alternative in power and price?

Edit: forgot to mention what they will be powering, the mids are 2 X12 style reflex cabs loaded with 2 x Fane Colossus 12MB per side, and the subs are 2 PD.186 loaded G Subs (hoping to drive one G sub per amp channel).

For the Fane Colossus 12MB : PKN XD4000 (minimum)
For the PDs a PKN XD6000 ;-)

You should check other quality lihghtweigt amps like Powersofts,etc..
If you need long range transport may save something with more expensive device but less bulky/far lighter package!

If he was going to buy Proline, doubt he can afford Powersoft/PKN... LOL

The Proline 3000 is just rebranded Deton Aone 3600 from China.

Should be no problem getting amp direct from Deton.

Well with Thomann's T-Amps you get some decent service ! So nothing to complain and to worry about service and so on !

Alternative to T3000:
 
More power & service & waranty included.
 
I would not consider importing stuff from China if you do not know how to repair any amp.

The OP said Thomann won't ship to Australia, because of cost, so mentioning Thomann's warranty & service again is irrelevant.

All dude needs to do is ask Deton for circuit diagram of the Amp.

If amp ever needs repairing or servicing, competent local engineer can do the job, with circuit diagram/parts list.

Importing Chinese amps from Australia/Asia is completely different to doing it from UK, due to distance/shipping costs. Chances are OP might even find Deton amps on Australian eBay.

Probably most ridiculous statement I've read on here this year. Confused

You import chinese amp, get local engineer to give look over before you use it, the end.

There is risk it might be DOA, or fail first gig, that's the risk you take for buying amp really cheaply. Doesn't suit everyone, but works for some.

Sorry, did not notice it needs to be shipped to Australia.
But anyway for the persons overhere in Europe a decent alternative is the Pronomic, for sure..
 
Well might be ridiculous to you but I would stay on the safe side.
If you call that ridiculous well then no offense and fine with me :)
China works if you get a proper working unit. But most of us know that the failure rate is simply high...
If you do not get a proper working one, then lots of fun. Find parts, find some engineer and pay for the servicing hours. Cheap buy then turns out to be less cheap...

Might be able to stretch for a PKN XD4000 on the subs if I eat noodles for a few months LOL

Something like this is my best bet, although I tried the email on their website last week and I got a bounce back, something about the mail box not existing anymore?

I also found a website called Made In China, "connecting buyers with China suppliers", and it has a fair few options, CA20 included...

Other than that I guess I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for something second hand on ebay...

I've been looking into some PKN's too vert. Maybe we should follow this up to see if we can cut costs somewhere.

Couple of 3 phase's running the whole east coast should do the trick LOL would never need to lift another amp rack, just plug in our 800km long cables and 16000ohm speakers LOLLOL

dB-Mark do a nice 3U unit that would fit the bill, I will see about shipment from them to Oz.

Thanks Tony, that'd be great.



On the subject of Chinese amps, anyone know how running one (220v/50hz/10a) would working from a Australian power outlet (250v/50hz/10a)?

I've read Chinese wall sockets are rated to 250v but their plugs and devices use 220v.... same physical socket as Australia though so I'm assuming there won't be any issues?

Just received a quote on both the Soundstandard CA18 and the CA20 - Freight's expensive but the total is pretty cheap all up, very tempted. Will wait for a few other quotes to come in before I decide which way to go.
