Powersoft has unveiled additions to both its Duecanali range of two-channel amplifiers and Quattrocanali series of four-channel amps. The new additions include the Duecanali 6404 DSP+D and Quattrocanali 8804 DSP+D, addressing the requirement for small and large fixed install applications where channel count is limited but flexibility and high- and low-Z compatibility is crucial.
Both new models integrate Dante digital audio networking architecture and onboard signal processing, as well as being able to deliver 175 Vpeak – suitable for high-SPL applications such as clubs, performance venues and stadiums. They also both feature Powersoft’s switch-mode power supply with Power Factor Correction (PFC), Smart Rail Management (SRM) and bridgeable switch mode fixed-frequency Class-D circuit topology.
The Duecanali 6404 DSP+D offers the highest power output in the Duecanali series to date – 4,600W, 3,200W or 1,800W per-channel at 2?, 4? and 8?, respectively. In bridged mode, it’s capable of outputting 9,200W and 4? or 6,400W and 8?. Fully integrated DSP yields system management functionality. In addition to sound shaping and limiter functions, the DSP hardware and ArmonÃaPlus software enable sound system compliance emergency purposes.
Occupying just 1U, the Quattrocanali 8804 DSP+D promises smaller dimensions and lighter weight with no trade-off in performance. The unit implements a microprocessor-controlled power supply with built-in PFC that allows worldwide operation with any AC mains voltage in the range 85–275 VAC (tolerant to peaks of up to 400V). Power specifications for the Quattrocanali 8804 DSP+D are 1,800W at 2?, 2,400W at 4? or 1,600W at 8?.
Both of the products can be connected to networks through standard Cat-5 cables or Wi-Fi. Remote access via the ArmonÃa Plus allows for full operability, including monitoring and diagnostics, from a decentralised location.
In brief, Powersoft has announced that its full line of amplifiers will be available for specification within its D-Tools software for system integrators. As a result, Powersoft dealers will be eligible for an exclusive free 45-day trial of D-Tools Cloud. The Italian manufacturer has also released new plug-ins supporting Mezzo Series and its non-DSP install dedicated amplifier platforms ranges for the Q-Sys and Crestron control ecosystems. The free-to-download plug-ins reportedly provide user-friendly, network-based control of amplifier functionality via third-party systems. In addition, a new Q-Sys plug-in supporting DSP+D versions of Duecanali, Quattrocanali, Ottocanali, X and T series will be released shortly.
