Wharfedale Pro has announced a significant update to its MP Series amplifier range. Designed for the most extreme operating environments, the updated MKII models build on the hard-working reputation of this reliable, high-performance product series.

“Our MP Series analogue amps have been used and abused by customers around the world for decades,” Wharfedale Pro marketing manager Peter Peck explains.

“Often found in the most extreme working environments, MP series have earned their reputation as a real ‘tank’ of amplification, but updated component and technological advances now allow us to make some practical improvements.”

By optimising component selection and refining the chassis design, the updated MP amplifiers now deliver increased power output and have improved damping factors to control loudspeaker overshoot. The updated components and circuitry will also enhance the longevity of these products. Nevertheless, the MKII range will keep the same fundamental philosophies as the original MP amps: durability, ease of maintenance and hefty sonic specifications.‌

The new MP series is well suited for fixed installations and is available in two models: the MP 1800 MKII, and the more powerful MP2800 MKII. Both employ Class H topology, ensuring efficient and reliable power delivery. Versatile connectivity is achieved via two XLR and two 6.3 mm jack inputs, along with three speakON-compatible outputs. Both models are stable down to 2Ω and feature comprehensive protection features.

“The release of the new MP MKII series is a testament to our commitment to our existing customers who continue to trust in our brand to provide reliable, high-performance products that serve their long-term needs,” Peter adds.
