Wharfedale DR4800 Power Amplifier

Pushing power, price and performance

DR4800 is a high-power 2-channel Class D amplifier from our DR Series, built for demanding live sound and installation environments where maximum output, reliability, and value are essential.

Delivering 1450 W per channel at 8 Ω and 2500 W per channel at 4 Ω, DR4800 provides powerful headroom for full-range systems or subwoofer applications. When bridged at 8 Ω, it delivers a commanding 3500 W, making it a versatile solution for large-scale PA configurations.

A heavy-duty toroidal transformer ensures rapid burst power for improved dynamics and punch, while selectable input sensitivity (0.775 V, 1 V, or 35 dB) allows seamless integration with a wide range of system setups. With a frequency response of 20 Hz – 20 kHz and THD below 0.05%, audio remains clean and consistent even at high output levels.

Equipped with XLR inputs and link outputs plus speakON™ connectors, DR4800 ensures secure connections in professional environments. A robust cooling system and built-in protection circuits guard against overheating, short circuits, and DC faults, ensuring long-term durability in touring and fixed installations.

DR4800 combines power, efficiency and resilience — a workhorse amplifier engineered for serious performance.
