Epifani 902UL....Finally

Hou said:
Does anyone have any news on this amp? I wish that Epifani would update their website! There is still no info on the PS series and yet you read about the PS in bassplayer!

Looks like the website has been updated, with more info on the new lower priced amp and cab line, and the 902.

The 902 specs look interesting... however the description is quite confusing. One of the things that was disappointing to me in the original 902 specs was that it was not able to be bridged, which resulted in either having to use two cabs, or only using half the amp.

Now the specs list 1800 watts at 8ohms, and say that the amp can be run in 'series or parallel' mode. Given that the amp puts out 900 watts per side into 4 ohms, the 1800 watt into 8ohm spec suggests that the amp will now be designed to be able to be bridged. If that is the case, this amp at 18 pounds (according to the spec) is becoming MUCH more interesting to me:)

Edit: I'm still rather confused as to why they aren't upgrading the 502 to 1/2 the 902 specs... i.e., 900 watts into 4ohms and lighter weight??????? Now THAT would be a big seller, since very few of us need 1800 watts IMO.

I also get a kick out out the blurb about this being the latest version of the 902... I guess it's the latest version of the non-existing 902. I can't wait for the next updated, non-introduced version of this amp!
 
Website looks nice! I just saw the description for the PS600 and I think they have a misprint because it has the specs of the 902 on it????

Anyway the site is cool. can't wait to play the PS 112.
I know the T112 has to be pushed in order for the cabinet to speak comfortably (it's potential). It's cool for me but the other guys in the band think it's a little loud sometimes.
If anyone has let me know if the PS has the same response.

Hehe funny!
I posted yesterday just before they update their website.
Does that mean I should get the 902?:smug:

I noticed that also. It is my understanding that the 600 is virtually identical to the 502 without the second channel.
 
There are a couple of extra buttons on the face. I really can't tell and they allow you a real close up of the amp face. But it looks like???? Well I can't see it. I wish they showed the back panel also. I'm pretty sure they have the mid selector switch and level adjustment, maybe even a treble switch per the 502.

If they show a close up please advise how to check it out.

It looks like a Limiter will be on both the new 902 and 502, unless that is not the case. But there's one in the picture. . .
