🏭 About Zapco
An American Legend Since 1974
Zapco began its journey in 1974 as a pioneer of car audio. In 1978 the company released the first genuine parametric equaliser for the car — the PEQ. Today Zapco is part of APEX Group (Italy) and remains the industry benchmark.
Competition Series
The highest tier for car audio competitions and audiophiles: HDSP-V (DSP processors), Z-AP and Z-II (Class A/B amplifiers), REF (Reference Series), ST-X, ST-D, ST-B, ST-A.
Studio Series (HB)
HB Series — DSP/Amp combos and A/V players for daily use. Powerful sound, intuitive control, Bluetooth and a built-in HD player. The optimum price-to-performance ratio.
DSP Processing Leader
Zapco was first to bring a digital processor to the car audio market in 2004. Every generation sets a new standard: from the DC Line to ADSP-Z8, ADSP-IV, and today's HDSP-V flagship.
🖥️ HDSP-V Series — Zapco's Flagship DSP Processor
Fifth-generation Zapco digital processors. Nearly three years in development by a team of electronics, acoustics and signal-processing engineers — all united by one goal: to reproduce live music in a car with absolute accuracy.
912 MHz · 64-Bit DSP
The most powerful processor in class. 64-bit signal processing at 912 MHz clock speed delivers infinitely precise calculations for every parameter — EQ, time alignment, crossovers.
–140 dB Noise Floor
Record-low noise for a 16-channel DSP device. Crosstalk: –115 dB. Analogue input S/N: 109 dB, digital: 114 dB. THD below 0.001% at 4 V output.
Up to 16 Output Channels
Full active per-channel speaker management. 456 MHz HD Audio Player supports 24 bit / 192 kHz files. Wi-Fi and optional aptX HD Bluetooth for smartphone control.
Modular Architecture
The HDSP-Z16 V is made up of 18 individual modules — ADC/DAC, power supply, processor. Each block can be replaced or upgraded independently. Touchscreen Display and wireless control via smart device.
🔊 Z-AP and Z-II Series — Audiophile Amplifiers
Z-AP Series (Audiophile)
The pinnacle of the Zapco amplifier line. Class A/B, developed by ear as much as by measurement. WIMA poly caps in the signal path, proprietary custom electrolytics in the power supply, low-noise input op-amp. Outperforms home amplifiers costing twice as much.
Z-II Series (SQ)
Class A/B and Class D amplifiers for SQ competitions and demanding enthusiasts. The direct descendant of the legendary Z-Series LX. Competition-proven and beloved by audiophiles worldwide.
For Car and Home
Thanks to its circuit topology, the Z-AP Series can also be used at home — with an AC/DC power supply. One amplifier, two environments. Zapco's claim: your car can sound better than your home system.
📻 REF, ST-X and ST-D Series
REF Series (Reference)
The legend returns: the new Reference Series delivers 1, 2, 4 and 6-channel amplifiers with the best sound in their price bracket. Hand-selected internal components, a refined design. Sounds as good as — or better than — competitors' most expensive amps.
ST-X III Series
Class A/B and Class D amplifiers for those who want competition-level sound at a sensible price. Wide model range: from 2-channel stereo to mono subwoofer blocks.
ST-D Compact & Mini
ST-D Compact — powerful Class D amplifiers in a compact chassis for tight-space installs. ST-D Mini — ultra-compact amplifiers for vehicles where every centimetre counts.
ST-B and ST-A Series
ST-B — excellent sound for daily use at an accessible price point. ST-A — amplifiers optimised for Android head units with correct signal-level matching.
🎛️ HB Series & A/V Player — Studio Line
HB Series — DSP/Amp combos and media players in the Studio line for listeners who want the best sound without the complexity of Competition-class setup.
HB DSP/Amp Combos
The range includes: HB 68 II (8-ch DSP, 31 bands), HB 46 4A II (6-ch DSP + 4-ch Class AB), HB 48 4A II (8-ch DSP + 4-ch), HB 410 8A II (10-ch DSP + 8-ch), HB 810 II 8AD (8-ch DSP + Class AB + Class D). All in a single unit.
HB MS Series — A/V Player
High-resolution A/V players for HD video and audio playback. HD BT Streaming (aptX HD), OTG input. The ideal signal source to pair with HB DSP/Amp units.
Shared HB Series Features
31-band parametric EQ, HD Bluetooth streaming, OTG input, integrated music player, full GUI for tuning from any smart device.
🎚️ The Evolution of Zapco DSP Processing
Over 45 years, Zapco has set the standards for in-car digital signal processing.
1978 — PEQ (The First)
The first true parametric equaliser for the car: 9 bands, 2 channels, balanced input, military-grade components, high-voltage outputs. A new era in car audio.
2004 — DC Line
The first computer-controlled digital processing network for the car. 6-channel DSP plus amplifiers with built-in DSP. DPN Network: control every amplifier from a single screen.
2017 — ADSP-IV (DSP-Z8 IV)
An affordable DSP delivering audiophile sound quality superior to units costing twice as much. A newly designed user interface makes system tuning intuitive and fast.
2020+ — HDSP-V Series
Fifth generation. 912 MHz / 64 Bit / –140 dB noise / 16 channels / HD Player / Wi-Fi / aptX HD. Three years of development. Sets new industry benchmarks.
