Configurable Power Amplifier with Ethernet Connectivity for Network Control

Series: PowerMatch

Model: PowerMatch PM8500N

Part #: 343546-1310

PowerMatch® Class-D amplifier - New, proprietary design combines Class-D efficiency with a dual-feedback circuit that continuously monitors and controls both the current and voltage of the output devices
This combination provides the PowerMatch amplifier with the highest-quality output power, audio performance, reliability and efficiency
QuadBridge™ output mode - Outputs can be configured as single, dual, or quad channel modes, which allows 4 kW of power to be allocated between 2 to 8 channels
These software-selectable configurations range from 8 channels at 500 watts, 4 channels at 1000 watts, 2 channels at 2000 watts or mixed combinations
Dual or quad modes can drive either low-impedance or 70 V or 100 V loads
