ISE 2017: Powersoft launches Quattrocanali Series
- Details
As in previous years they will share booth 7-K180, with their Dutch distributor, Ampco Flashlight Sales.
Powersoft’s new four-channel amplifier platform includes three models: Quattrocanali 4804: 1200 W per channel @ 8ohm; 1500 W per channel @ 2 ohm; 3000 W bridged @ 4 ohms; Quattrocanali 2404: 600 W per channel @ 8ohm; 800 W per channel @ 2 ohm; 1200 W bridged @ 4 ohms; Quattrocanali 1204: 300 W per channel @ 8 ohm; 500 W per channel @ 2 ohm; 1000 W bridged @ 4 ohms.
This completes the Powersoft Installation Series that includes Duecanali (two-channel) and Ottocanali (eight-channel) series.
“If the Ottocanali Series is purpose-designed for bigger installations with mission critical requirements, this new series addresses the requirements from small and medium applications where the channel count is limited but the need for a flexible product to work with Hi-Z and Lo-Z systems is a must,” says Marc Kocks, business development manager for Fixed Install.
“In particular, the new Quattrocanali 1204, featuring 300W per channel, can open up a new market for Powersoft that historically was recognized among the industry leaders for higher power applications. We believe that in many small installations, like leisure venues and retail spaces, where sonic quality and simplicity of use are important, this product will quickly become a best seller — because for the first time users have a competitive choice in Powersoft product’s catalogue,” summarises sales director, Luca Giorgi.
Meanwhile, Powersoft continues to reduce the impact on the environment via its patented switching mode power supply, which enables the Quattrocanali to be fitted inside a 1RU enclosure. This means that more amplifiers may be carried within a single shipment, reducing CO2 emissions generated by moving large volumes across the world. In fact, Quattrocanali's design implements clever features so that it may be installed in places that were once deemed unpractical and unsafe, while reducing the need for external outboard. In addition, the lowest thermal dissipation ratings in the industry make the use of external cooling superfluous.
Powersoft will also use ISE 2017 to present a vital addition to the Duecanali Series. Duecanali 1602 is a two-channel model and in terms of on-board technology is similar to the Quattrocanali - although it differs from the current Duecanali Series, which is based on K Series.
