    Description

    Quattrocanali 1204 offers the traditionally amazing sound quality and reliability of all Powersoft products.

    Quattrocanali is designed to operate with Lo-Z (from 2 ?) and 70V/100V distributed lines or any mix of the two. DSP+ versions of the Quattrocanali grant in-depth control and monitoring via ArmoníaPlus, tailoring the sound and managing the system can be done in a remote, decentralized location.

    DSP+ versions extend signal routing capabilities with the integration of AES67 digital audio networking architecture.

    This Amplifier Platform can also be trusted in mission-critical applications, such as fire alarm systems, thanks to the cleverly engineered power supply that allows reliable operation even when connected to a UPS.

    Power supply

    • Patented output filter with ripple cancellation network
    • Low Inrush Limiting reduces AC inrush current, removing the need for expensive power sequencers
    • Detachable AC mains cable with IEC C19/22.2 (16A for EU, 20 A for USA) socket

    Protections

    • Ac protection: shut down power supply when AC mains voltage is outside operating range
    • Clip limiter: prevents severely clipped waveforms from reaching loudspeakers, while still maintaining full peak power output
    • DC protection: protects against infrasonic signal at the outputs
    • VHF protections: protects the loudspeakers against non audible, strong, non musical high frequency signals
    • Short circuit protection: protects the amplifier from short circuit or other stressful events for the output circuits with automatic protection reset
    • Long term limiter: protects the loudspeaker against steady long term RMS (non audio) signals, by reducing maximum output
    • Thermal protection: output stages operating temperature up to 80 °C (176 °F)
    • Temperature controlled continuous variable speed fan, front to back airflow
    • Temperature forecast with LCD traced historical behavior

    General

    • Fixed frequency switch-mode output stage for high grade sound accuracy
    • Compact size – all models only 1 RU for reduced rack cost and space
    • Light weight – for easier racking and shipping: 7 kg (15.4 lbs)
    • Standard Phoenix connectors: analog audio outputs, aux supply, alarms and GPIO
    • Remotely switchable double input (main and aux) per channel

    Settings

    • Built-in defeatable clip limiters for each channel
    • Digital gain-attenuator control
    • Defeatable gate selection for each channel
    • User selectable gain/sensitivity
    • User selectable maximum output power for each channel
    • User selectable maximum mains current draw
    • Lockable set-up by user selectable access key code
    • Built in remote control via the RS-485 interface provides full diagnostic, operational setting and system monitoring

    Digital Signal Processing

    • TI C6000 DSP platform
    • AD/DA converter: dual 24bit @ 48 kHz Tandem® architecture
    • Input/output independent equalizers per channel providing PEQ, raised cosine, shelving IIR filters as well as custom output FIR filters
    • Delay up to 100 ms for time alignment
    • Active DampingControl™ for cable compensation
    • Peak, RMS voltage, RMS current, TruePower™ limiters
