Dynacord has announced the IPX series multichannel power amplifiers, targeting concert halls, art centres, theatres, houses of worship, distributed sound systems in stadia and entertainment centres with their Omneo IP networking architecture.
The IPX series from Dynacord comprises three four-channel models and one eight-channel model, offering a power density of 5kW, 10kW and 20kW from a single amplifier with all channels driven. All models feature with energy savings via the Dynacord Eco Rail mode. The models include the IPX 5:4 (4 x 1.25kW @ 4Ω), IPX 10:8 (8 x 1.25kW @ 4Ω), IPX 10:4 (4 x 2.5kW @ 4Ω) and IPX 20:4 (4 x 5kW @ 4Ω).
High flexibility is ensured by several power drive options using Dynacord’s VLD (Variable Load Drive) technology, as well as the newly developed parallel and bridged parallel operation modes. VLD technology (IPX5:4 and IPX10:8) allows the available output power of 1.25kW/channel to be used at either 4Ω or 8Ω, or via 70V or 100V lines in direct drive mode.
The integrated Omneo interface with a primary and secondary port allows the use of eight channels from a Dante audio network, while remote and supervision parameters run on OCA protocol (AES70), open for third-party integration. Redundancy options include glitch-free and RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) to suit individual requirements and existing infrastructure.
Eco Rail technology helps to reduce overall power consumption up to 50 per cent, both protecting the environment and significantly lowering the total cost of ownership, while maintaining high-quality audio and operational safety at all times. The fully DSP-controlled amplifier and power supply constantly monitors up to 280 parameters simultaneously to assure that even under operating conditions such as mains power fluctuations, IPX amplifiers continue to perform at highest possible level, rather than switching into a protect mode and stop operation.
The IPX series offers advanced 96kHz digital signal processing and internal analogue-to-digital conversion with ultra-low latency. The three DSP blocks are split into user, array and speaker processing controls, each featuring a wide range of equalisation, delay, level options and asymmetric filters. Complete remote control and supervision is available via Iris-Net software and allows the IPX series to be seamlessly integrated into existing and new installations.
