the t.amp Proline 3000

Everything about this amplifier is heavy, from its physical weight to the sound it produces.

I bought this amplifier to run bass (2 drivers per channel) and it more than met my expectations. Running at 4 ohms per channel the amplifier more than meets its rated spec and pushes serious sub bass with apparent ease.

The inputs on the amplifier are quite sensitive so if using a Behringer Ultradrive with a '0dB' reference equivalent to +22dBu it's worth dropping a compressor in between the Ultradrive and the amplifier to act as a more reliable limiter. AVOID CLIPPING THIS AMPLIFIER! The clip circuitry is not the best and it can cook speaker coils fairly rapidly if the amplifier isn't kept under control.

The physical weight of the amplifier is a down side but then again its older technology which is how they can achieve such performance at the price.

Highly recommended but use with care to avoid blown speakers and hernias!

I have to admit that i was afrait of that im going to buy an other cheap amplifier with overestimated and overrated capabilities. Now i have been using this amp for months and i have to tell that im not too gentle to it. Im driving 2x2000W rms double 18" bass bin each side (4 ohms) or 2x double 15" 1000w x2 each side (2 ohms) I was like if it fails i will live with the warranty, but it never lets me down. Even on 2 ohms, the performance wouldnt drop, and wouldnt overheat. Yes, it is a very heavy amp to carry around, but if you want serious power to come out of it, you have to deal with!!!

I have been using the Proline 3000 for a while now, 4 ohm stereo into two cubo15s per channel.

It is very good on medium power, the sound quality is great and it impresses every time. I never let it reach the clip lights however when nearing 0db, 1-2db down the sound quality does degrade slightly, it doesn't matter though, it is still good and when it gets to that point it outputs a lot of power.

it is really heavy as well, a two man lift up stairs and I have to take it out of my amp rack to take it anywhere. It is definitely worth it though.

It would probably be a good idea to buy a separate 3u case to carry this amplifier around in.

Very heavy amplifier, so not easy to carry around, but build quality is very good. So far only tested it at low volumes and the sound quality is good. The fan is a bit loud if it is used in a quiet environment or at low volumes, but for its intend use as a PA amplifier to which this is ideally geared, this is not an issue. The real test will be when it is connected to 4x 18 inch P.Audio and used as subs (for which it was purchased). If it performs better than the 2x PV2600 that it is replacing, we will be very happy. If given the opportunity to do so, we will update our review after the first uses as a PA sub amplifier in a true PA setting.
