158 GUIDE - AMPLIFIERS
OUTLINE | M5000-4 www.outline.it
Equally versatile in both portable and installed system configurations, and with its four channels delivering up to 5,000W (2,500W when running in bridge mode into a minimum eight ohm load) all neatly packed in one single rack unit weighing just over 7.3kg / 16lb, Outline’s M5000-4 is a flexible solution for small to medium sound systems. The flexible two / four channel format is ideal for installations where space is at a premium, but where output power is essential. The M5000-4 is capable of driving 100V line systems, making this an ideal choice for installation challenges. Users of portable systems are also well served by the M5000-4: they will appreciate the compact design, high power output, lightweight format and the ease of matching Outline loudspeaker systems, using carefully designed factory preset files.
PEAVEY | IPR 1600 DSP www.peavey.com
The IPR 1600 DSP power amplifier combines user-friendly loudspeaker management with the lightweight power and performance of its IPR digital power amplifiers. The onboard digital signal processing system includes preset banks for popular loudspeaker types and configurations, as well as Waves MaxxBass psycho-acoustic processing for the first time in any power amplifier. The IPR DSP takes users through an intuitive set-up wizard to set their EQ curves, delay speakers, crossover (full-range or full-range with sub), high pass and low pass; adjust a four-band parametric EQ and horn EQ; and specify the amount of Waves MaxxBass processing from 0-100%. MaxxBass uses psycho-acoustics to calculate precise harmonics that are related to the fundamental tones of sound. When these harmonics are combined, it creates the effect of deeper low frequencies.
POWERSOFT | OTTOCANALI SERIES www.powersoft-audio.com
Powersoft builds on the successful Ottocanali range of installation amplifiers with three new models: Ottocanali 4K4, 8K4 and 12K4. The series focuses on high channel and power density, with up to 12,000W output power over eight channels, distributed line or combination systems, neatly packed into a double rack unit. Excellent sound quality and ample output power stem from Powersoft’s unique approach to Class D amplification, making the Ottocanali Series the ideal main system in any venue where performance is priority. Powersoft’s legendary efficiency keeps the operational cost and carbon footprint at a minimum: each Ottocanali model shines with outstandingly low power consumption and heat dissipation; dramatically reducing costs from the AC mains supply and air conditioning / cooling systems - not to mention the benefits to the environment for a greener planet. The dual power supply ensures the maximum output is available across all channels as well as providing redundancy.
QSC | CXD SERIES www.qscaudio.com
The CXD Series for installed sound applications features advanced signal processing combined with a unique power distribution configuration. Housed in a 2U chassis, the CXD Series features new QSC proprietary Class-D power devices, which enable multi-channel, high performance power. The innovative Flexible Amplifier Summing Technology (FAST), provides better power allocation by actively distributing the total amplifier power across one, two, three or all four outputs enabling amplifier channels to be combined for maximum current or voltage output; the largest models capable of up to 5,000W. Every channel features independent DSP processing and a preset wizard streamlines the setup process. Advanced DSP includes cross-over filters, parametric EQ, alignment delay and other settings, and when paired with QSC loudspeakers, Intrinsic Correction may be employed to ensure optimum sonic performance. Amplifier / DSP integration ensures accurate dynamic processing and circuitry protection and power saving modes combined with the Class-D design ensures high efficiency and low weight.
