Powersoft has launched Nota, a versatile, ultra-compact PoE/PoE+ amplifier, ‘designed to meet the varied needs of A/V system integrators and integrate seamlessly into a diverse range of networked audio environments’.
Nota joins Powersoft’s growing portfolio of high-end audio solutions for the fixed-installation market, which also includes the cloud-based Unica amplifier platform and the compact Mezzo series.
Nota provides 140W of power across two channels in a pocked-sized footprint, making it suited to commercial, conferencing and retrofit installations. Its ability to transmit power and data via a single Ethernet connection streamlines installation, reducing costs and minimising wiring complexity – meaning it is also well suited to IT integrators without in-depth technical knowledge.
Nota’s headline features include onboard DSP capabilities, loudspeaker health monitoring and full control via both Powersoft’s ArmoníaPlus software and third-party APIs. The amplifier’s USB-C connectivity allows ready integration with external multimedia devices, doubling as a USB-to-AES67 converter for enhanced system flexibility, while its automated set-up automatically matches the impedance curve of connected speakers and applies a high-pass filter – optimising sound quality and protecting loudspeakers from potential damage by ensuring efficient power transfer.
‘With Nota, we set out to create a versatile amplifier that could expand existing systems by integrating seamlessly with existing networked installations while also enabling the easy and cost-effective creation of new systems, regardless of your level of expertise,’ explains Powersoft co-founder and R&D Director, Claudio Lastrucci. ‘By offering streamlined set-up, modularity, flexibility and efficient operation in an ultra-compact form factor, Nota is a significant breakthrough for integrators working in environments where space is at a premium.’
