▶ Corporate & open-air events
Like all K Series models, the K6
DSP+AESOP is designed for, and
absolutely stable with, 2 Ω loads. Hence,
with multiple speakers/drivers in parallel,
a single K6 is well capable of powering
e.g. a major section of a medium-sized
line array, or a number of full-range
speakers, effectively reducing the number
of amps needed for powering a specic
system.
The K6 DSP+AESOP can be software
upgraded to become a K8 DSP+AESOP,
and even a K10 DSP+AESOP, making
it a safe investment that grows with
loudspeaker systems without the need
for replacing the amp hardware. This
fact reveals the otherwise hidden power
density deriving from unique Powersoft
technologies despite running off a single
mains phase, while tting into a single 19”
rack unit and weighing only 12 kg/26.5 lb,
all a result of efciency exceeding 85%.
A fully integrated state-of-the-art DSP
yields extensive system management
functionality. IIR/FIR lters, safety
features like TruePower™ limiting
and LiveImpedance™, as well as the
convenient Active DampingControl™
are intuitively manageable with the free
PC software Armonía Pro Audio Suite™.
The AESOP interface provides four
standard Ethernet ports, adding hub
functionality for two AES3 digital audio
streams equivalent to 4 analog signal
channels over the same RJ45, allowing
for a redundant ring architecture too.

Legendary Powersoft efciency:
▶
Unequaled Class D design with xed switching frequency
▶
Universal switch mode power supply with PFC (Power Factor Correction)
▶
Space and weight saving: only one rack space (1 RU) and 12 kg/26.5 lb
▶
Green Audio Power®: more amplier output power from the AC mains
power distribution due to >85% efciency
Outstanding performance and operational safety:
▶
Excellent sonic quality by design, including amp clip limiters and patented
ripple cancellation network
▶
Proven reliability, yet downloadable log le of all functional fault events with
time-related trace
▶
Numerous amp/system/venue parameters can be congured, locked, and
monitored; i.e. AC mains voltage/current draw to protect from breaker tripping
Highly integrated:
▶
Top-grade DSP with high dynamic range and ex tensive feature set
▶
Separate input/output EQ’s with numerous lters of various types up to 48
dB/oct (IIR), linear phase (FIR), and hybrid (FIR+IIR)
▶
Sophisticated limiter system comprising peak, RMS voltage, RMS current,
and TruePower™ limiting
▶
Speaker wire compensation with Active DampingControl™
▶
LiveImpedance™ load monitoring with regular musical signal
Plug & play communication and redundancy for control and digital audio:
▶
Fully digitally controlled amplier providing feedback of all status information
▶
4-port AESOP Ethernet/AES3 interface allowing daisy-chaining and
redundant ring architecture
▶
Fully manageable via Armonía Pro Audio Suite™ software, intuitive system
setup and maintenance, control and monitoring
▶
AES3 digital audio distribution over Cat-5e cable: two streams equaling four
analog channels, low latency, glitchless fallback to analog backup signal
Safe investment: Step-up program allows smooth upgrade to K10 DSP+AESOP
Practically versatile:
▶
Mono-bridgeable amplier channels; switch for linking analog signal inputs
▶
AC inrush current limiting; channel output voltage limiting
▶
Digital gain attenuator for gain/sensitivity selection
Front panel interactive LCD display for local access and conguration
Smar tCard reader/writer for rmware updates, preset storage, and Step-up
Front-to-rear airow cooling with variable-speed fan, temperature controlled
Full protection circuitry: over/under AC voltage; troublesome signals (clipping,
VHF, long-term RMS); DC; thermal; shor t circuit; mute at power on/off
Full four years warranty
Options & accessories:
▶
Smar tCard, for rmware updates or preset storage; Step-up card
