Spanish manufacturer Equipson has introduced new features to its range of Synthea multi-purpose amplifiers.
Specifically designed for A/V installations, Synthea amplifiers allow users to offer integrated DSP and web control particularly suited to applications where an intuitive configuration process is required – bars, cafes, hotels and restaurants, fitness centres, retail outlets and conference rooms, as well as places of worship.
Available in a variety of configurations, all Synthea amplifiers have an in-built web server that can be accessed from any Wi-Fi or Ethernet connected device without needing to install additional software. This allows users to adjust and control every aspect of their loudspeaker system from any location and at any time.
Operating in low impedance (4-16Ω) and high impedance (70V/100V), the range includes several different channel and power output options. Fully integrated DSP is controlled via TCP/IP, GPIOs and S/PDIF in/out, which means that signals can be mixed to any output, making it straightforward to link multiple amplifiers in a larger installation.
Since launching Synthea, Equipson has responded to customer feedback and improved both the firmware and software so that the entire range now offers greater flexibility. Alongside existing DSP functionality, users can now combine input sources in two or four separate mixes and configure any output to high or low impedance.
Other new features include Talk Over (Ducking) with Priority Routing and the inclusion of an Input High Pass Filter and Output Routing (SPDIF). Equipson has also updated Synthea’s generator to include pink noise and sine wave, and incorporated a Band Pass Filter and five-band parametric EQ on each analogue input.
There are four Synthea models available, all of which are now in stock and ready to ship. Synthea 2125 offers two channels with 125W of power each or one channel with 250W, suited to use in smaller sound systems. Synthea 2500 also has two channels but with a higher power output of 500W/channel or one channel of 1kW. Synthea 4125 provides four channels of 125W each or two channels of 250W. This amplifier is for sound systems that require multiple speakers. Synthea 4500 provides four channels of 500W each or two channels of 1kW. This is the most powerful amplifier in the range and is suited to large venues where a high volume and powerful sound are required.
