Designed for the most extreme operating environments, the updated MKII models build on the hard-working reputation of this reliable, high-performance product series.

Huntingdon UK, June 2024

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

Technical features

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.

Peck continues, “The original hardware design of MP always proved popular with users, so with the new MKII models we have ensured the familiar hard-working look and feel remains the same, with the benefit of updated technologies within.”

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 2 Ohms and feature comprehensive protection features.
