Overview

Quattrocanali 4804 offers the traditionally amazing sound quality and reliability of all Powersoft products. The patented SRM (Smart Rails Management) technology allows to maximize the efficiency of the system and drastically reduce power consumption in any load and usage condition. Quattrocanali features the lowest thermal dissipation in the industry, reducing the need for external cooling devices. Quattrocanali is designed to operate with lo-Z (from 2 Ω) and 70V/100V distributed lines or any mix of the two. This Amplifier Platform can also be trusted in mission-critical applications, such as fire alarm systems, thanks to the cleverly engineered power supply that allows reliable operation even when connected to a UPS. MyPowersoft services are available for this product

Features

Powersoft legendary universal switch mode power supply up to 400VAC tolerant with Power Factor Correction
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
Ac protection: shut down power supply when AC mains voltage is outside 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
Fixed frequency switch-mode output stage for high grade sound accuracy
Compact size - all models only 1 RU for reduced rack cost and space
Light weight - for easier racking and shipping: 7 kg (15.4 lbs)
Standard Phoenix connectors: analog audio outputs, aux supply, alarms and GPIO
Remotely switchable double input (main and aux) per channel
Built-in defeatable clip limiters for each channel
Digital gain-attenuator control
Defeatable gate selection for each channel
User selectable gain/sensitivity
NC/NO contacts per channel for alarm notifications
Remote ON/OFF switch
Remote VCA control per channel
