Our story

Hypex was founded in 1996 by Jan-Peter van Amerongen (1964 - 2021). The company started as a supplier of plate amplifiers for live sound loudspeakers. The products attracted the attention of HiFi loudspeaker manufacturers, resulting first in a range of active subwoofer amplifiers, followed shortly afterwards by multi-channel units with active crossover filters for the studio market.

In 2003, a full migration to Class-D was started. The newly invented ‘Universal Class-D’ technology was selected for this, later followed by the leading NCORE® technology. The decision was made not only to use UcD™ and NCORE® in end-user products, but also to market these as general amplifier modules. The quality of the UcD™ and NCORE® modules quickly became recognized as the new industry standard in both measured and subjective performance.

In 2005, Hypex decided to become a technology resource instead of a technology user. Hypex now serves many major audiophiles, HiFi and Pro Audio brands, incorporating the world-class NCORE® technology into their final products.

In 2013 Hypex built its own production facility in Malaysia, named Seetek EMS SDN BHD. This factory only manufactures Hypex products. One of Hypex’s core values is to deliver high-quality products at all times. That is why Hypex requires strict control during the production, assembly, and quality assurance process. With Seetek we can maintain our core values.

Same support, different name: In 2016, in line with its strategy to manufacture amplifiers for both the OEM and DIY markets, Hypex assessed its business model to distinguish between these markets. Hypex Electronics continues to produce OEM Class-D modules. To serve the DIY community we set up a new department, named DIYclassD.com. This department takes care of the DIY market and provides comprehensive customer support and a direct and personal approach to the DIY audio market. The company in the background that makes everything possible is Hypex Electronics, but all sales and support is facilitated through DIYclassD.com.

Hypex Electronics kicked off the year 2021 by celebrating its 25th anniversary. In the second half of the year, however, founder Jan-Peter van Amerongen lost an unwinnable battle and passed away in November. We will remember Jan-Peter as an enthusiastic and kind entrepreneur and we will miss him in our personal lives and within our company. Jan-Peter appointed the former R&D Manager Jan-Willem Winters as CEO of Hypex Electronics B.V.
