Powersoft has furthered its longstanding collaboration with US-based high-performance outdoor audio systems company Coastal Source, in what is described as ‘the next phase’ of a multi-year OEM partnership focused on developing a purpose-built amplifier platform.
The new amplifier line is engineered to deliver ‘exceptional performance in the harshest outdoor environments’, combining power management, durable construction and AES67 network integration.
‘Powersoft and Coastal Source share the same passion for amazing sound, reliability and efficiency – customised for each unique application,’ says Coastal Source founder and CEO, Franco D’Ascanio. ‘Achieving high performance in harsh outdoor environments is no small feat, which is why our partnership is so special and rewarding. As we continue to innovate across diverse markets, we remain committed to delivering best-in-class solutions through thoughtful engineering and collaboration.’
At the heart of the new line are eight custom models. These amplifiers are known for their efficiency, durability, and advanced power management – qualities that align seamlessly with Coastal Source’s rigorous standards for outdoor installations, where moisture, salt air and temperature extremes are constant challenges.
‘We are excited to take our collaboration with Coastal Source to the next level and this partnership represents the evolution of a shared technological vision,’ says Powersoft CEO, Luca Lastrucci. ‘We have always valued Coastal Source’s innovative approach to outdoor audio. By combining our respective expertise, we are not just developing a product, but a solution specifically engineered to deliver outstanding performance where it is most critical.’
Now in the final stages of development, the new amplifier family will begin shipping in Q2 2025 as part of Coastal Source’s premium product portfolio, reinforcing the companies’ shared mission to ‘elevate the standard for outdoor audio’.
