1.1 Welcome To CAMCO

Established in 1983, 

CAMCO

 has gained worldwide experience with profes-

sional sound reinforcement technology. Within the audio market, 

CAMCO

 

specialises in the production and marketing of high quality power ampli-
fiers and sound systems to be used both on tour and in static installations. 

The success of the 

LA

DL

DX

, and 

TECTON

 series power amps has 

made the name 

CAMCO

 synonymous with professional quality, high per-

formance, and utterly reliable power amps.

With the 

VORTEX

 power amp series, 

CAMCO

 has been pioneering a new 

dimension in professional power amp construction in the last decade. The 
seamless combination of ground-breaking technology with proven safety 
elements has been the hallmark of the 

VORTEX

 series.

CAMCO

’s commitment to research and development, seen not just in the 

area of materials and technology but also most importantly in its highly 
skilled and motivated workforce, is one of the keys to its ongoing success. 

The new technologies that have been developed and applied to the pro-
audio industry have been substantial over the last few years, but actually it 
is only now that we as designers, researchers, and developers are able to 
take the next steps in building a more coherent future with tools that really 
integrate together.

The ancient cultures developed an understanding of our world by a reali-
sation of the individual elements that are at the core of all things. These 
were described as the Five Elements. We see the development of technol-
ogy and the resulting products in the same way. Today 

CAMCO

 follows 

the same pattern of realisation, our five elements are ; Efficiency, Power, 
Networking, Signal Processing, and Design.

As the five elements come together to form the One, we can see that the 
evolution of amplifiers is now reaching the point where we can truly call the 
amplifier a universal audio platform, not just X-amount of power output, as 
impressive as it is in terms of true power per channel across the 

V8

, but a 

Network station, an advanced Signal Processing station, a multicore like 
distribution centre, too, allowing hundreds of channels of processing and 
data to be sent and received which all can be controlled from one platform.

Thus the efficiency of the complete package now shows itself to be much 
more than just a power amplifier. The 

CAMCO

 

VORTEX SILVER SERIES

 

V8

 

is evolving into much more; it is in fact becoming the evolution of today´s 
pro-audio needs and conditions. It will be the bench mark for building the 
future.

Welcome to the new world of professional power amplifiers –
