In support of its Cinema Line, Danley Sound Labs has announced the 10K8c and 3K8c amplifiers.

Both models are 2U-high rack units and provide eight independent inputs and eight independent amplifier channels (though any pair of channels can be bridged), comprehensive 96kHz digital processing, presets for every Cinema Line loudspeaker and subwoofer, and loudspeaker and circuit protection. The principal difference between them is that the 10K8c delivers 1250W/channel, while the 3K8c delivers 400W/channel (2Ω, 4Ω or 8Ω or 70V for both units). All amplifiers are engineered and manufactured in the United Kingdom.

Power-saving features result in significant reductions in waste heat generation. System integration with Ethernet or GPIO ports allows remote system monitoring and power sequencing. Phoenix-style input and GPIO terminals make installation straightforward. Analog and optional Dante digital networked audio inputs can make installation even simpler when working with AES67 or Dante-enabled output devices.

‘The 10K8c and 3K8c are true next-generation amplifiers that deliver high-impact, crystal-clear sound for mind-blowing cinematic experiences,’ says National Accounts Manager for Cinema Systems, Skip Welch. ‘At the same time, they have all of the behind-the-scenes protections, connectivity, and class-D energy efficiency that make them a big win with integrators. Unlike the Danley DNA 10K8 Pro and 3K8 Pro, which are four-in by eight-output amplifiers, the Cinema Line DNA 10K8c and 3K8c are eight-in by eight-out.’
