Powersoft Extends Duecanali and Quattrocanali Ranges

Powersoft has extended two of its most popular fixed install ranges with the introduction of the two-channel Duecanali 6404 DSP+D and the four-channel Quattrocanali 8804 DSP+D.

Both products feature Dante digital audio networking architecture and on-board signal processing, as well as being able to deliver 175 Vpeak, making them appropriate for applications where high SPL is required, such as clubs, performance venues and stadiums.

As with the other models in their respective ranges, the new amplifier platforms are reportedly able to deliver this high level of performance at a competitive price point.

With this new extension, the new Duecanali 6404 DSP+D and Quattrocanali 8804 DSP+D series now sits coherently alongside Powersoft’s install dedicated amplifier platforms, addressing the requirement for small and large size applications where the channel count is limited and the need for a flexible product to work with Hi-Z and Lo-Z systems is a must.

The new Duecanali and Quattrocanali models all feature a switch-mode power supply with Power Factor Correction (PFC), Smart Rail Management (SRM) and bridgeable switch mode fixed frequency Class D output circuit topology.


Duecanali 6404 DSP+D
Tatest member of the Duecanali range features a fully integrated DSP with extensive system management functionality. In addition to sound shaping and limiter functions, the DSP hardware and ArmoníaPlus software enable compliance with the requirements of sound systems for emergency purposes.

The Duecanali range is able to drive low impedance loads (2/4/8 Ohm) and 70V/100V distributed lines selectable per channel delivering a maximum output power per channel of: 1800 W at 8 Ω; 3200 W at 4 Ω; 4600 W at 2 Ω; 9200 W at 4 Ω bridged; 6400 W at 8 Ω bridged; 4000 W at 100 Volt and 3200 W 70 Volt.

The series provides status feedback via its front panel LED display or a connected PC running ArmoníaPlus software.


Quattrocanali 8804 DSP+D
In just 1 RU, the Quattrocanali series offers smaller dimensions and lighter weight.

Quattrocanali Series amplifiers implement a microprocessor-controlled power supply with built in PFC (Power Factor Correction) that allows worldwide operation with any AC mains voltage in the range 85-275 VAC tolerant to peaks up to 400 V. The patented SRM (Smart Rails Management) technology reportedly allows to maximise the efficiency of the system and drastically reduce power consumption at any load and usage condition.


With this latest extension, the Duecanali, Quattrocanali, and Ottocanali Series of fixed installation solutions can address a full spectrum of applications, particularly where the channel count is limited and the need for a flexible product to work with Hi-Z and Lo-Z systems is a must.

Both of the products can integrate within a networking environment through standard Cat5-cabled and Wi-Fi networks. Remote access via the Armonía Plus allows for full operability, including monitoring and diagnostics, from a decentralised location — via laptop, PC, tablet or smartphone. The fully-customisable interface seamlessly integrates all devices in one easy-to-manage screen, so that everything displayed can be monitored at a glance.

The range extension will be shipping in July.
