CI 16-60 DSP
The CI 16-60 DSP is a highly versatile, robust amplifier built for the demands
of professional installations. The CI 16-60 delivers a conservative 60 watts
per channel at 8 ohms into all of its 16 channels with each pair of channels
bridgeable to 140 watts per channel if more power is desired. The hybrid
digital amplifier platform delivers stable and efficient power with high
current capability all in a 2U rack space. The CI 16-60 DSP uses a customized
version of the proven Hypex UcD output stage to deliver great load invariant
power with extremely low distortion and noise in the audible range. Every
detail of this design has been carefully executed to wring out the best
possible performance. Designed to deal with the demands of the custom
installation world, the CI 16-60 can effortlessly handle long cable runs and
difficult speaker loads.
The CI 16-60 DSP is a network-controlled amplifier which allows the installer
to configure and calibrate via a web-based user interface. This user interface
offers access to multi-channel digital signal processing (DSP) providing
detailed equalisation control. A virtual patch bay permits any input to
be routed to any, or multiple outputs without the need to create physical
connections. In addition, the UI offers insight into temperature and power
status, as well as basic troubleshooting functions like power cycling, factory
resetting and updating. Rounding out the CI 16-60’s impressive feature set
are loop through jacks on all the inputs making it easy to daisy chain sources
to multiple amplifiers for larger installations.
