Wharfedale XR1500 Power Amplifier — 2-Channel Class-H 400W×2 @ 8Ω

The Wharfedale XR1500 power amplifier is built for professionals who demand clean, high-output power in demanding live sound and installation environments. Delivering 400 watts per channel into 8Ω in stereo mode, this Class-H amplifier is engineered to drive full-range cabinets, subwoofers, and PA systems with precision and headroom to spare.

Class-H Efficiency for Real-World Performance

Class-H topology sets the XR1500 apart from conventional amplifiers. By dynamically tracking the audio signal and adjusting the supply rail voltage accordingly, Class-H delivers the sonic transparency of Class-A/B designs while dramatically reducing heat generation and power consumption — a critical advantage in rack-mounted touring and fixed-installation setups.
