DD AUDIO PROUDLY RELEASES NEW Z13000 COMPETITION GRADE AMPLIFIER

Tuesday, April 28th, 2026 - Oklahoma City, OK - DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products is proud to release the Z13000 Half-Bridge Monoblock Amplifier. The Z13000 replaces the Z12000, and is the latest offering in DD’s legendary Z Series, top-of-the-line powerhouse amplifiers. New upgrades were engineered to maximize the durability and ease of long term service of the two section PCB.

For the Z13000, DD upgraded to larger, higher current power supply Mosfets, increasing current delivery by over 30%. PCB components were upgraded from surface mount to high-capacity through-hole mounted parts. The total number of output section Mosfets went from 12 to 16 and the overall heat sink length was increased for the most demanding thermal applications.

The Z13000’s chassis features DD Audio’s exclusive High Volume Air Circulation (HVAC) heat management system. The mass and intelligent fin design of the super heavy-duty extruded aluminum heatsink constantly conducts heat away from internal components. An internal brushless fan pulls in cooler air through an elevated bottom panel and end panel vents to maximize air flow. Additionally it features quadruple power terminal blocks, variable 24dB/Oct bandpass filters, and an input for DD’s ZVL linking module.

The 13000W rated Z Series Half-Bridge Monoblock is in every way Competition Grade. As with its predecessor, the Z13k has been optimized for 16V and is produced in limited runs only, and generally sells through Authorized DD AUDIO Dealers, but will be made available online for in limited quantities.
