Fosi Audio V3 Mono Amplifier Review

#1873 Shipped: 2× Amps & 2× 5A, destination EU.

Backer 5, 2x V3 with single 10A. No confirmation yet. Bummer. Hoping they arrive around the same time as my WiiM Ultra.

Damn. Backer 35 3x mono with 3 5A supplies and no info yet.

 

[PacketofCrisps]

2 x 5a or 1 x 10a with splitter? will either option give full power?

2 x 5a or 1 x 10a with splitter? will either option give full power?

Fosi have produced measurements that show both options will.

thanks, I wonder why so many have went for the 2 x 5a over the 1 x 10a?

Early reviews noted noise with the single power supply when only one of the connected amps was switched on, and there was the beat frequency panic a couple of weeks ago.

I think there is no right or wrong answer but I choose 2× 5A because if I am going for mono amps I want them to truly be decoupled from each other. Drawing power from the same adapter seems – to me – to be opposed to that idea.

Exact same logic for me as well. Not using the splitter allows me to spread the amps farther apart, as they are in my current setup with ZA3s:

How did you confirm your shipping info? I saw Fosi talked about sending out a survey but I haven’t seen that yet.

Perhaps check your Spam folder — survey went out late last month (received mine on the 31st).

They sent me a link with a survey to fill out on the kickstarter page

I was interested to see your dual sub setup until I realized the one on the right is a cat box.

That's not a typo. My amps should have arrived two years before I ordered them.

That is a humorous bug. Perhaps they recycled the tracking code originally issued back in April of 2022.

My cats do love good music!

This is getting really annoying for those who ordered early ...
Fosi should make a statement here.

 

[GoDawgs]

Maybe I shouldn't have joked about the Muse02 op-amps..... It might have been the shipping departments idea to offer them as rewards and maybe I've ticked them off. It might be as late as Christmas before they ship mine. Sorry if I offended you shipping folks, it was just internet talk.

I had the same question. For me, the survey was unavailable on thr kickstarter app. Once I logged in from a web browser, I could view and complete it.

Thanks. Not able to find it anywhere. I was a late sponsor, only pledging right after the formal campaign was closed. I just reached out to fosi but I’m sure I just need to be patient.
