Next Audiocom has introduced the A504DSP amplifier, combining a lightweight, 4x 500W (2x 1kW) amplifier, with a DSP engine that can be configured to drive a wide range of loudspeaker systems in a wide range of applications in for touring and installation.
While being simple to use, the integration of processing and amplification allows the DSP to monitor and better adapt to amplifier behaviour, making dynamics processing more accurate and effective than typically achieved with separate components.
The A504DSP flexibly distributes the total amplifier power in various combinations across four, three or two outputs to drive, for example: four full-range loudspeakers or subwoofers, high-power subwoofer plus two full-range loudspeakers, a high-power subwoofer plus bi-amplified loudspeaker, or high-power full-range loudspeaker plus high-power subwoofer.
The onboard DSP, controlled by built-in OLED screen with an encoder or by a PC, provides input/output routing, high-pass and low-pass filters, parametric EQ filters, compressors/limiters, noise gates and alignment delays.
The integrated DSP controlled by built-in OLED screen with an encoder eliminates the need for outboard loudspeaker processors.
