Overview

4800W/2-channel Flexible Amplifier with DSP

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 4804 DSPis 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 unique Powersoft style, the DSP hardware and ArmoníaPlus software enable compliance with IEC 60849 for the crucial requirements of sound systems for emergency purposes.

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 the 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

Technologies

Engineered around uptime

DSP Technology

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.

PFC Switch Mode Power Supply

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.

Remote Control

Controlling and monitoring of a Powersoft amplifier can be done through ArmoníaPlus.

Power Sharing

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.

Audio-Networking

Our current line of amplifier offers Dante™ either as standard or as an option on any model, for audio over IP networking.

Active Damping Control

With modern systems growing larger in size, the resistance that is added by lengthy cable runs starts to become an issue.
