Wharfedale Amplifier CPD 4800 – Sound Equipment

The Wharfedale Pro CPD4800 is a high-power, two-channel Class H professional power amplifier designed for live sound reinforcement, touring, gigging musicians and fixed installations. Delivering 1000W per channel at 8Ω and 1500W per channel at 4Ω in stereo mode, it provides substantial amplification for demanding professional loudspeaker systems. In bridged mono operation, it delivers up to 4800W RMS into 4Ω. Its selectable Stereo, Parallel and Bridge operating modes provide flexibility for different sound system configurations. Featuring independent channel gain controls, a limiter switch, status indicators and comprehensive protection circuitry, the CPD4800 combines high output capability with operational reliability. Its variable-speed cooling fan and removable front grille with accessible air filters also support maintenance in demanding working environments.
