INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your purchase of Orion's HP-2800, or HP-4800 power amplifier. Each Orion amplifier is designed to be the leader in its class offering the most power, advanced fea- tures, and extreme ease of use. In high-end sound systems or high SPL systems, Orion ampli- fiers will give you years of trouble-free performance.

HP-2800 - 125 Watts per channel, two-channel amplifier with dual built-in high- pass and low-pass 12dB/octave crossover centered at 100Hz and INTELLi-Q, ESP2, and remote bass. The 2800 is capable of 1 channel operation with a maximum power of 400 Watts into 4W mono.
