1600W/2-channel Flexible Amplifier with DSP and AES67
Overview
The ability to implement any configuration with ease makes the Duecanali Series extremely flexible. Powersoft's legendary efficiency saves valuable energy, keeping both operational cost and ‘carbon footprint’ at a minimum.
TheDuecanali 1604 DSP+is designed to work with Lo-Z (from 2 Ω ) and with 70V/100V distributed lines: any mixed impedance output loads can be realized.
A fully integrated state-of-the-art DSP yields extensive system management functionality. In addition to sound shaping and limiter functions in a unique Powersoft style, the DSP hardware and ArmoníaPlus software enable compliance with IEC 60849 for the crucial requirements of sound systems for emergency purposes.
DSP+ versions extend signal routing capabilities with the integration of AES67 digital audio networking architecture. MyPowersoft services are available for this product

Features
Power supply
- Powersoft legendary universal switch-mode power supply up to 400VAC tolerant with Power Factor Correction
- Patented output filter with ripple cancellation network
- Low Inrush Limiting reduces AC inrush current, removing the need for expensive power sequencers
- Detachable AC mains cable with IEC C19/22.2 (16A for EU, 20 A for USA) socket
ProtectionsFully protected circuit design with:
- Ac protection: shut down power supply when AC mains voltage is outside the operating range
- Clip limiter: prevents severely clipped waveforms from reaching loudspeakers, while still maintaining full peak power output
- DC protection: protects against infrasonic signal at the outputs
- VHF protections: protects the loudspeakers against non-audible, strong, non-musical high-frequency signals
- Short circuit protection: protects the amplifier from short circuit or other stressful events for the output circuits with automatic protection reset
- Long term limiter: protects the loudspeaker against steady long term RMS (non-audio) signals, by reducing maximum output
- Thermal protection: output stages operating temperature up to 80 °C (176 °F)
- Temperature controlled continuous variable speed fan, front to back airflow
- Temperature forecast with LCD traced historical behavior
General
- Fixed frequency switchmode output stage for high grade sound accuracy

Engineered around uptime
Powersoft’s DSP implements a complete audio management system that provides a unique level of control and can be used to set the tone of any space.
Our current line of amplifier offers Dante™ either as standard or as an option on any model, for audio over IP networking.
Powersoft has always been very focused on energy saving and the use of the Power Factor Correction (PFC) has been a trademark for improving performance and containing mains current draw and consumption.
Controlling and monitoring of a Powersoft amplifier can be done through ArmoníaPlus.
Power Sharing enables part of the power to be shared across all output channels so that it can be used where it is needed the most.
With modern systems growing larger in size, the resistance that is added by lengthy cable runs starts to become an issue.
