Linea Research has added eight-channel 20kW models to its M and C Series of networked DSP amplifiers.
Optimised to deliver 2.5kW per channel into 4Ω with all eight channels driven simultaneously, the touring focused 48M20 and installation targeted 88C20 amplifiers claim ‘class-leading performance while maintaining the outstanding audio performance which defines the brand’.
‘Our existing amplifiers models delivered their highest power output into 2Ω, but of course, 2Ω isn’t always ideal and many of our users prefer to load their amps at 4Ω.’ explains Sales Manager, Peter Collins. ‘In developing these new models we’ve been able to effectively double our output and power density into 4Ω giving our customers exactly what they’ve been asking for.’
Both M and C Series versions offer networked control, 96kHz DSP signal processing and user FIR filters on every output along with analogue and AES inputs as standard and a Dante/AES67 option. With four inputs, eight outputs, and full front panel control the 48M20 is aimed at portable and touring users while the 8-input/8-output 88C20 provides all the same DSP and control features but is finished with a blank front panel for tamperproof operation.
‘Flexibility is key with all our products and these are no different,’ Collins says. ‘In one 2U-high, eight-channel amplifier we can now offer anything from a bridged pair giving 5kW into 8Ω, single channels of 2.5kW into 4Ω, and even drive 2.5KW into a 100V line.’
