Trek Introduces 2200 Series of High-Voltage 40 Watt Amplifiers

New Series Addresses Market Need for Cost-Effective High Performance in Electro-optic, MEMS, Piezoelectric and Other Applications 

14 July 2010 (Medina, NY, USA) – TREK, INC., a designer and manufacturer of high-voltage power amplifiers and high-performance electrostatic instrumentation, introduced its 2200 Series of 40 Watt High Voltage Amplifiers. Trek’s 2200 Series offers a desirable combination of high performance and attractive pricing. The three initial models of the 2200 Series – Model 2205, 2210 and 2220 – provide output voltage ranges of ±500 V, ±1 kV, ±2 kV (respectively). The 40 Watt reference equates to 40 watts peak, 20 watts RMS.

Trek developed this new series with proprietary technology – leveraging the company’s more than 40 years of amplifier design expertise – to address the market need for cost-effective units which deliver reliable, robust performance.

The 2200 Series delivers additional value since the units are CE marked, RoHS compliant, and HALT tested. The company is also providing a 2 year warranty on these units, doubling the typical 1 year warranty offered by other suppliers.
