Hypex Electronics

Hypex Electronics Hypex Electronics is a specialist supplier of power amplifier subassemblies for the audio industry.

Company history
Hypex was founded in 1996 by Jan-Peter van Amerongen as a supplier of plate amplifiers for live sound loudspeakers. The products drew the attention of hi-fi speaker manufacturers, resulting first in a line of active subwoofer amplifier subassemblies, shortly followed by multichannel units with active cross-over filters for the studio market.
2003 saw the start of a complete migrati

on to class D. For this purpose the newly invented 'Universal Class D' technology was selected. Realising the market potential, Hypex decided not only to use UcD® in end-user products, but also to offer it to the market as general-purpose amplifier modules. The UcD180/400/700 modules have quickly established themselves as the new standard, both in terms of measured and subjective performance. In 2005, Hypex took the strategic decision to move from being a technology user to being a technology source and hired UcD's inventor, Bruno Putzeys. Hypex now serves many big name audiophile brands which previously couldn't find class D amplifiers meeting their stringent sound quality requirements. Standard products now span the range from 50W to 3kW and a line of switch-mode power supplies to match and DSP platforms for active loudspeaker control have been introduced.

Meet Dennis Schrikkema — Sales & Marketing Manager at Hypex Electronics! 🚀

For the past 1.5 years, Dennis has been connecting people, ideas, and opportunities to help share the power of sound with the world. As a true generalist, he bridges the gap between customers, colleagues, and the technical experts who make Hypex shine.

🎯 His mission:

“To make the world a better place by making the power of sound accessible to everyone.”

🧠 What does he actually do?

“I’m more of a generalist. I learn something new about our technology every day, but I rely on the expertise of our engineers. That way, customers always get the right answer; complete, clear, and technically spot-on.”

⚙️ A typical day?

Talking to customers, colleagues, and partners. Making sure everyone gets to do what they love and do best. And on Thursday afternoons: a beer and a game of darts with colleagues. 🎯🍻

💪 What keeps him sharp?

Taking a breather outside of work; playing soccer with friends, sailing, surfing, or spending quality time with his family. 🌊⚽

🌟 Proudest moment:

“The progress we’ve made as a company in the past months and the steps still ahead as we continue to grow and professionalize.”

🎶 Fun fact:

“I can be quite impulsive. Sometimes I just think: let’s go for it and see what happens! Whatever comes up, I’ll gladly figure it out along the way.”

🥁 If his work style were a musical instrument:

“A drum kit. I keep the rhythm, connect the people and departments and occasionally hit the drums hard to drive things forward.”

💬 What makes Hypex unique for him:

“The freedom, the passion of the people, and the feeling that we’re truly building something together.”

Meet Jeffrey, Technical Support Engineer at Hypex Electronics 🎧

Jeffrey is already eight years part of the team. His goal is clear and simple: making sure every customer can enjoy their music again without worry or interruption.

🎯 His mission
“Ensuring our customers can once again enjoy their music the way it was meant to be heard.”

🧠 What does he actually do
“I help people solve issues with their audio gear and bring their products back to life so they can listen again.” Turning something that first seems impossible into something that works flawlessly gives him a true euphoric kick.

⚙️ A typical day
It starts with coffee stronger than his WiFi, followed by testing Hypex products. When a unit refuses to cooperate, Jeffrey channels his inner Frankenstein to bring it back to life. He ends the day with documentation and a quick chat with colleagues.

💪 What keeps him sharp
Knowing he can always rely on his team. “I just need to make clear what needs to be done and someone will always have my back.” Compliments from happy customers make him proudest of all.

🌟 What makes Hypex unique for him
Even though Hypex runs like a well-oiled machine it still feels like a family company.

🎸 Outside of work
Jeffrey enjoys walking with his daughter, gaming, and playing guitar in his death metal band. “By day I am the friendly guy helping customers. By night I am headbanging on stage.” Despite his strong appearance he is known for being very kind and approachable.

🎶 Fun fact
His favorite (background) music is pure loud metal. But his daily anthem is Mr Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra, a cheerful twist to his heavy riffs .

🚀 Looking ahead
Jeffrey wants to deepen his expertise in problem analysis and technical investigation, the kind of work that challenges him most.

💬 What he would say to anyone considering joining Hypex
“You do not have to be crazy to work here but it helps.”

Thanks Jeffrey, for keeping the music alive and making sure every amplifier finds its voice again.
