Description
The Unica T amplifier platform is designed to deliver top-tier performance in the most demanding live applications. With an ultra-compact 1RU form factor and exceptional power density, it reduces operational costs and streamlines setup times in touring environments. Its third-generation architecture, shared across the Unica platform, ensures reliability and future-proof operation, setting a new benchmark for live sound amplification. Unica T is the ideal choice for rental companies seeking superior sound quality and maximum efficiency.
Sound Quality
Powersoft’s 3rd generation architecture ensures exceptional sound quality, boasting newly designed input and output sections for the highest signal-to-noise ratio (116 dBA) among Powersoft amplifiers. The studio-grade insulated analog inputs provide outstanding immunity to noise coupling, allowing extraordinary common mode interference and abuse tolerance on the analog input lines, up to 100 VRMS (pat. pending).
Streamlined Operations
With an 8-channel model delivering up to 10 kW and a 4-channel model capable of harnessing a phenomenal 20.8 kW in a single rack unit, extreme power sharing capabilities, and featuring comprehensive processing, Unica T optimizes rental companies’ operations by simplifying their catalog, benefitting everything from efficient and effective deployment to logistics and warehousing.
Build Quality
Unica T is built and field-tested to thrive in the most demanding touring conditions. Made to last as all its predecessors, its rugged construction and patent-pending connectors’ shields are a testament to Powersoft’s experience building some of the most reliable and lasting tour-grade amplifiers in the market.
Time Saver
The Euroblock connectors are ruggedized through a patent-pending shield that takes less space and time to fit on the amplifier than those traditionally employed and are perfect for use both as cable-ends terminations or in break-out boxes.
Straightforward maintenance
Warehouse operations and regular maintenance are simple. The design of the front grille allows quick cleaning of the air filter. In the unlikely event of a malfunction, downtime is kept to a minimum through Easy Swap. This automatic USB backup system allows nearly on-the-fly replacement of the unit.
Simplified Control
The UI has been redesigned with touring operations in mind, allowing access to the most relevant parameters and commands. The full display blinks for quick identification of the amplifier, and the LEDs provide at-a-glance feedback on the Status, Network, and Signal statuses. The configurable GPIOs allow maximum flexibility for interfacing with third-party processors and monitoring systems.
