Powersoft is to expand its Ottocanali power amplifier series, with the addition of three high-performance eight-channel models for fixed installations applications lined up for release at the forthcoming ISE show in Amsterdam.
The Ottocanali 4K4, 8K4 and 12K4 have been designed to work at low or high impedance, can run at 2Ω as a standard operational parameter and can power 70V and 100V distributed lines without the need for external transformers.
Powersoft’s approach to class-D amplification gives the amplifiers high output power – up to 12kW over eight channels for the largest model. In addition, each amplifier in the series has two universal switch-mode power supplies with PFC (Power Factor Correction), each independently powering a set of four channels. In addition, patented SRM (Smart Rails Management) technology maximises the efficiency of the system, significanrlt reducing the power consumption at any load and usage condition.
‘In designing the Ottocanali series, we have concentrated on three main features – efficiency, flexibility and reliability,’ says Powersoft R&D Director, Claudio Lastrucci. ‘The result is a series that minimizes power consumption, can be used in a vast array of different applications and that can be trusted to perform year after year – a valuable asset for system integrators and one less thing to worry about.’
Ottocanali 4K4, Ottocanali 8K4 and Ottocanali 12K4 installation amplifiers join the smaller Ottocanali 1204 and the high-powered Duecanali amplifiers.
