Powersoft has announced the new T Series line of power amplifiers – an ultra-reliable and efficient amplifier platform designed with the rental market in mind.
‘We’re setting a new benchmark for the type of reliability and audio performance you can expect from a product at this price level,’ asserts Product Manager, Klas Dalbjörn. ‘The T Series is Powersoft’s solution for rental companies with small to medium-size sound systems, and it features next generation processing and networking capabilities, but at lower price point. It is also perfect for small touring bands, DJs and a range of other applications.’
The T Series offers both two- and four-channel models, available in 3kW and 6kW versions supporting channel powers from 750 W to 3kW in a single rack unit. All models can deliver the same high peak voltage and can drive single 8/16Ω cabinets at full SPL, making the T Series a cost-effective solution for small systems without boxes in parallel. The high voltage can also be used for power sharing between channels for applications such as bi-amped loudspeakers or subwoofers with passive tops.
In addition to analogue inputs, the T Series includes AES3 and Dante inputs, which are optimised for daisychained distribution of two-channel audio to multiple amplifiers with no need for external switches or splitters. Each model features group controllable advanced EQ to let users equalize multiple amplifiers in a chain, as well as a robust preset library with FIR processing.
The T Series offers remote control and advanced signal processing abilities via Powersoft’s ArmoníaPlus System Manager as well as onboard DSP. Each amplifier platform in the T Series is fully operable from the front panel display, ensuring ease of set up and control. The display includes features like preset recall, gain, delay and mute, plus it also shows available headroom, as well as other status monitoring.
In addition, the T Series lets users configure presets, so that – if, for example, a T Series amplifier platform is included in a rental package – the user can limit the amplifier platform’s functionality to ensure reliable and safe performance prior to renting out the amplifier platform.
‘We spent a lot of time working on a display with a navigation that’s very easy to understand and to configure,’ Dalbjörn says of the new amplifiers’ operation. ‘We have included context sensitive buttons with back lighting that lights up only when the button is functional, which makes it really easy for end-users to control the system using the front panel.
‘Our decision to include the option for daisychained Dante networking on the T Series was based on customer feedback,’ he adds. ‘The T Series is really a game changer, I think, in terms of reliable performance, usability and audio quality. We’re raising the bar on what you can expect in a small to medium-size rental system.’
