Power amplification specialists Powersoft and Crestron have collaborated to make Powersoft’s Duecanali and Quattrocanali amplifier platforms an option to power Crestron’s new Vector Performance loudspeaker series. This announcement represents the first collaboration between the two companies.

Both Duecanali and Quattrocanali are one rack unit, two and four-channel amplifiers for small- to medium-size applications where the channel count is limited and the need for a flexible product to work with Hi-Z and Lo-Z systems is a must. The series are available in a variety of power configurations, all of which boasting a serious punch, making them the perfect solutions for venues who are looking for crisp sound, full control and sustained output. Crestron’s Vector Performance loudspeakers are optimised for large performance spaces such as auditoria, lecture halls and divisible rooms.

‘We are pleased to partner with Powersoft by pairing their class leading power amplifiers with our Vector Performance speakers, and are confident that this will bring more options to our customers in the professional performance markets,’ says Crestron Partnerships Manager, Bob Bavolacco. ‘Powersoft’s reputation speaks for itself and these amplifier platforms became a natural choice as we explored dependable, constant voltage systems to scale our portfolio in this demanding category.’

Vector Performance loudspeakers are available with a 6-inch coaxial up to 12-inch and 15-inch models, and dual 18-inch subwoofers are also available for high-impact systems. Each of these loudspeakers, which are now available with either Powersoft Duecanali or Quattrocanali amplification options, feature an innovative coaxial transducer design that delivers optimal sound, clarity, and intelligibility for speech reinforcement and media reproduction in enterprise environments.

The transducer in Vector Performance loudspeakers represents a revolutionary advancement in coaxial speaker design. Its large titanium diaphragm compression driver allows for smoother transition to the woofer providing better high/low alignment, smoother beamwidth performance and increased sound pressure levels without distortion. The compact high-frequency horn design reduces shadowing to produce incredibly clear and dynamic sound for both voice and music. Co-located high and low drivers results in less crossover interaction within the coverage pattern and smooth response.
