Vestax Vda 1000

#1 Post by Kenny Kaos »

So i bought 3 of them. i originally had 4 titan48s 3015 24/wide on a QSC-2450 2 per side. now running 2 titans per VDA. bridged mono at 1500. The 2 of these amps push 4 titans better than the QSC did. Noticeable improvement in sound. The VDA has so much power, it is amazing. BUT...... one of the amps had a channel out. sent it back. Got another bad one, didn't work at all. Sent it back. Finally got a good one. Decided to test the ones i have. one of them had a louder channel then the other. sent that one back. The only one that worked fine....I plugged a mic cord in the jack..... and it never came out. so back to the shop for that one. So out of 3, 4 of them where bad.... how does that work??? Anyway, I think i have some good amps now. Already pushed heavy loads through them for a few shows. no problems. see what happens. I will post any failure. I really like the amp when it works. It doesn't seem unreliable. just getting a good one is tricky.
here are some specs i could find on it.

So this is an amp kit you buy and assemble yourself?

I guess digimod is a good brand. from what i can tell.??? I guess they marketed an unfinished amp. just add a case. ? So Vestax Bought a bunch and made there own case. nobody wanted them because of the format. This design has potential. Vestax discontinued it and has The VDA-1000MKII with holes in the side for ventilation. but not available. ?? All this info is just assumption on my part.
