Chevin Research was established in 1989 with its headquarters in Otley, West Yorkshire. Initially the company designed equipment for the laboratory/scientific market. During this period, the company developed and proved the compact and lightweight Chevin power supply — small enough to fit in the palm of the hand.

In 1992, Chevin launched its A Series range of hand-made, high-spec audio amplifiers incorporating its innovative power supply. Designed specifically for the professional user, A Series amplifiers offer outstanding sonic performance, build quality and reliability in a compact and lightweight package.

Since then, the company has launched the ec Series, a range of mid-power amplifiers designed for budget PA applications, and the LINE Series, a range of music quality 100v/70v line amplifiers.

New to the market in 2005 is the audioElements Pro range of amplifiers modules for powered loudspeaker applications. The range includes mono and bi-amp modules rated from 100 to 1000 watts per channel.

Also new in 2005 is the S Range of mid-price amplifiers for PA and installation applications. This range includes power ratings from 250 to 1600 watts per channel featuring DSP, computer control port, etc etc

Late in 2005, Chevin will launch its audioElements Home Cinema amplifier, a very highly specified model featuring 2 to 7 channels designed specifically for high-end home cinema installation.

Chevin Research has emerged a global player in the Pro Audio marketplace, providing audio professionals with a comprehensive range of high performance amplifier products for a variety of audio applications.

Chevin amplifiers enjoy an unequalled reputation for sonic performance, reliability and longevity. The sonic performance is of such a high standard that the amplifiers are as successful in studio monitoring applications as in fixed installation and on the road. Reliability is among the best in the industry, with a failure rate below 2%. The standard lifetime of a Chevin amplifier is over 10 years.

Add to this power-to-weight ratios that are among the best in the business: 300 wpc stereo fit neatly into a 1U 5kg/9lbs chassis while power ratings from 450 to 1600 wpc stereo & quad are housed in a 2U 12k/27.5lbs chassis. Even the ‘Big End’ of the range - total output powers of 6000 watts - fit in 4U, weight just 23.5kg/5lbs.

Chevin products are distributed worldwide, with over 60% of sales to export markets.
