4 Channels 5000w Amp with DSP

IK42 DANTE

Overview

The amplifier shall provide four channels of Class D amplification with 96kHz DSP (Digital Signal Processing) on all inputs and outputs. It shall have both analogue and AES3 digital inputs and shall incorporate capabilities for remote system control and monitoring via Ethernet. A front panel user interface with a backlit display shall provide local control.

It shall be equipped with four analogue input connectors, four analogue link connectors, a dual-channel AES3 input connector and a dual-channel AES3 link connector, as well as an Ethernet port. Dante™ digital audio network primary and secondary connectors shall also be provided for digital audio distribution and control. Four output connectors shall be of the Neutrik Speakon™ NL4 type, with output duplication within two connectors to facilitate bi-amp operation with a 4-core cable.

Analog inputs shall each have an input impedance of 20kΩ, electronically balanced to ground.

The amplifier shall be equipped with a switch mode power supply with auto-sensing global mains operation from 85 -240 V AC, 47 - 63Hz. Dual vari-speed fans with front-to-back airflow shall be employed for cooling and the amplifier shall incorporate comprehensive monitoring and protection functions to maintain safe operating conditions of both itself and the loudspeaker systems driven.

The output power shall be 4 x 5000W into 2 ohms with a crest factor of 4 (12dB), 4 x 3000W into 4 ohms with a crest factor of 2.8 (9dB) and 4 x 1500W into 8 ohms with a crest factor of 2 (6dB), all channels driven.

Dimensions (W x H x D) shall be 483mm x 2U/89mm x 357mm (19in x 2U/3.5in x 14.1in). Weight shall be 12.5kg (27.5lbs).

The amplifier shall be the Martin Audio iKON iK42.
