voltage), C or D curve, 10KA.
▶
Contact the authorized service center for ordinary and
extraordinary maintenance.
1.4 Speaker Damage
!
Powersof t Class D ampliers are among the most powerful
professional ampliers available and are capable of producing
much more power than many loudspeakers can handle. It is the
user’s responsibility to use speakers suitable to the amplier and
to use them in a sensible way that will not cause damage.
Powersof t will not be held responsible for damaged speakers.
Consult the speaker manufacturer for power handling
recommendations.
Even if you reduce the gain using the amplier’s front panel
attenuation controls, it is still possible to reach full output power if
the input signal level is high enough.
A single high-power tone can damage high frequency drivers
almost instantaneously, while low frequency drivers can usually
withstand very high, continuous power levels for a few seconds
before they fail. Reduce power immediately if you hear any
speaker “bottoming out” - harsh pops or cracking distortion that
indicate that the speaker voice coil or diaphragm is striking the
magnet assembly.
Powersof t recommends that you use ampliers of this power
range for more headroom (cleaner sound) rather than for
increased volume.
1.5 Speaker Output Shock Hazard
A Class D amplier is capable of producing hazardous output
voltages. To avoid electrical shock, do not touch any exposed
speaker wiring while the amplier is operating.
This manual contains important information on operating your
Powersoft amplier correctly and safely. Please read it carefully
before operating your amplier. If you have any questions,
contact your Powersoft dealer.

3.1 Introduction
Congratulations on buying a Powersoft Ottocanali amplier!
Powersof t is a leading company in the eld of high efciency
audio power management. The Powersoft Class D technology
has changed the way the world looks at professional audio
amplication: no other amplier’s per formance comes close for
applications demanding high power and long term reliability.
Thanks to amazing reductions in heat output and weight, without
sacricing output powers, Powersoft ampliers can be used in an
unlimited range of PA applications such as opera houses, theaters,
churches, cinema, and theme parks.
3.2 The Ottocanali Series
The Ottocanali series of ampliers are specically designed for
installation applications. The ampliers in this series offer smaller
dimensions, lighter weight and the traditionally amazing sound
quality and reliability of all Powersoft products. The PFC (Power
Factor Correction) feature allows awless worldwide operation
with any AC mains voltage, including110V and 220V.
3.3 More Sound and Less Weight
Class D technology based ampliers are highly efcient, delivering
greater power to speakers with reduced heat dissipation: typical
running efciency of output stages is 95%, with only 5% of input
energy dissipated as heat. This allows for smaller dimensions,
weight and power consumptions.
Contrary to conventional ampliers which achieve highest
efciency only at full rated power output, Class D efciency is
almost independent of output level. Music has an average power
density of 40% of its peak value; this means that other (nonclass D) ampliers can easily generate 10 times more heat than
Powersof t products for the same sound pressure level. This unit
is designed to work with lo-Z (from 4 Ω) and with 70V/100V
distributed lines. It can deliver up to 150 W per channel (at 4 Ω)
or 300 W in bridge mode on 8 Ω. The DSP + ETH version allows
single channel processing and remote control of the amplier.
Powersof t ampliers deliver crystal-clear highs, and a tight, welldened low end: the most accurate reproduction of an audio
signal. Solid time proven design features ensure extremely high
performance in terms of super low total harmonic distor tion,
optimal frequency response, high power bandwidth and damping
factor across a vast number of application scenarios. Powersoft’s
multi patented application of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
high frequency sampling techniques is just one of the many factors
contributing to the Ottocanali’s high per formance ratings across
the audio bandwidth.
The Show Always Goes On
The Ottocanali series offers complete protection against any
possible operation error. Every amplier in this series is designed
to work under a large range of possible conditions, delivering
maximum power with maximum safety and an outstanding long
term reliability. Anticipating potential problems at the design stage
means your show always goes on!
4 Installation
4.1 Unpacking
Carefully open the shipping carton and check for any noticeable
damage; the gure below (FIGURE 1) shows the packing view.
Every Powersof t amplier is completely tested and inspected
before leaving the factory and should arrive in pristine condition.
In the unlikely event that you should encounter any damage,
please notify the shipping company immediately. Be sure to save
all packing materials for the carrier’s inspection.
The Ottocanali box contains the following:
▶
1 Ottocanali amplier
▶
1 x AC Mains cord with 3-pin plug 15A for US, IEC ‘Schuko’
16A for every other nation.
▶
6 x 12 pin Phoenix MC 1.5/12-ST-3.81 1803675 connectors
▶
2 x 4 pin Phoenix MC 1.5/4-ST-3.81 1803594 connectors
▶
1 x 16 pin Phoenix MSTB 2.5/16-ST-5.08 1757158 connectors
FIGURE 1: Ottocanali box
4.2 Mounting
All Powersoft ampliers are designed for standard 19” rack
mounting; there are four front panel holes and two rear-lateral
holes. In order to limit the risk of mechanical damages, ampliers
must be xed to the rack using both frontal as well as rear
mounting holes (FIGURE 2).
▶

Ottocanali 1204 User Guide
FIGURE 2: Amplier rack mounting holes, front and back
4.3 Cooling
All Powersoft ampliers implement a forced-air cooling system to
maintain low and constant operating temperatures. Drawn by an
internal fan, air enters through the slots in the front panel and is
forced over all components, exiting at the back of the amplier.
The amplier’s cooling system features an “intelligent” variable-
speed DC fan which is controlled by heat sink temperature sensing
circuits: the fan speed will increase only when the temperature
recorded by the sensors rises over carefully predetermined values.
This ensures that fan noise and internal dust accumulation are kept
to a strict minimum. Should however the amplier be subject to
an extreme thermal load, the fan will force a very large volume
of air through the heat sink. In the extremely rare event that the
amplier should dangerously overheat, sensing circuits shut down
all channels until the amplier cools down to a safe operating
temperature. Normal operation is resumed automatically without
the need for user intervention.
When mounting Ottocanali ampliers, the exhaust heat should
be taken into consideration.. Exhaust cooling air is forced out
through the rear of the chassis (FIGURE 3); make sure there
is enough space around the back of the amplier for this air to
escape. Ottocanali ampliers can be stacked one on top of the
other due to the efcient cooling system they are equipped with.
There is however a safety limit to be observed: in case a rack with
closed back panels is used, leave one rack unit empty every four
Ottocanali ampliers installed to guarantee adequate air ow.
FIGURE 3: Forced air cooling: front to back airow
4.4 Operating Precautions
Make sure the power switch is off before attempting to make any
input or output connections.
Make sure the AC mains voltage used is within the acceptable
operating voltage range specied in the Ottocanali documentation
(100V-240V ±10%). Damage caused by connecting the amplier
to an improper AC mains voltage is not covered by the warranty.
By using good quality input and speaker cables, the likelihood of
erratic signal behavior is reduced to a minimum. Whether you
make them or buy them, look for good quality wires, connectors
and soldering techniques.
4.5 Grounding
There is no ground switch or terminal on the Ottocanali Series
ampliers. All shield terminals of input connections are directly
connec ted to the chassis. This means that the unit’s signal grounding
system is automatic. In order to limit hum and/or inter ference
entering the signal path, use balanced input connections.
In the interests of safety, the unit MUST always operate with
electrical safety ear th connected to the chassis via the dedicated
wire in the 3-wire cable. Never disconnect the ground pin on the
AC mains power cord.
4.6 AC Mains Connection
The AC Mains connection is made via the IEC type connector on
the back of the amplier. The PFC feature allows the Ottocanali
to work within a range of different AC mains voltages without the
need to adjust any settings; however, make sure your AC mains
power source operates within the voltage limits indicated on this
manual (100V-240V ±10%). The 10A mains fuse and spare fuse
are located between the on/off switch and the IEC type mains
connector. Please see REF. FIGURE 3.
FIGURE 4: Mains connector and on/off switch
SAFETY WARNING! Ground wires must be connected! Do not
use adapters that disable grounding.
4.7 BatFormer®
It is possible to connect any Ottocanali channel directly to a
70V/100V distributed line using an optional BatFormer. BatFor mers
are specically designed to be easily installed by an authorized
service center.
▶

5 Connections and Operation
5.1 Introduction
This section provides information on amplier connection and
operation. For optimal amplier performance, it is important to
understand the meaning of the information that the Ottocanali
amplier can provide regarding its status and conguration.
This information is available to the user both via front panel
indicators as well as through specic alarm signals broadcasted
from dedicated connectors on the back of the unit. This chapter
will break down all the front panel operations and monitoring
functions the Ottocanali is capable of. The remaining par t of
the chapter will explain how to correctly connect the amplier’s
inputs and outputs.
5.2 Front Panel Controls Access
A number of impor tant controls can be accessed by removing
the front left hand side protective panel bearing the Powersoft
logo. Both silver colored metal panels are attached to the chassis
magnetically and can therefore be removed quickly without the
aid of any specic tool.
The following procedure can be used to remove both the left as
well as the right hand front panels. Removing the right hand panel,
however, does not grant access to any controls and is useful only
for air lter access (see Section 8.3).
To remove the left hand side front panel bearing the Powersoft
logo:
1. Firmly grip the outermost left hand side of the silver colored
panel and pull outwards at an angle, as if opening a door
hinged on the right hand side
2. Carefully slide the metal panel away from the chassis. When
the front panel is removed, the air lter (looking like a shiny
black plastic sponge) will be exposed.
FIGURE 11: Magnetic side panel removal
To reposition the left hand side silver panel:
1. Secure the air lter to the amplier chassis by placing it in its
designated area and press lightly, so that the lter’s central cut
hole can brace the magnetic snap mechanism
2. Align the silver panel’s right hand side to the chassis at the
same angle used to remove it
3. When correctly positioned, the magnetic snap mechanism
will automatically secure the metal panel in place.
The controls positioned behind the lef t hand side silver colored
Powersof t logo panel allow access to a series of important features:
▶
Output channel attenuation adjustment (see Section 5.3.1)
▶
Preset selection, one per channel pair (DSP version only)
▶
AUX Input/Line Input toggle (see Section 5.5)
▶
GPIO operations (see Section 5.10)
▶
Channel pair energy save mode selection (see Section 5.3.2)
5.3 Front Panel Adjustments
There are two types of adjustments that are possible from the
Ottocanali front panel: output level attenuation and energy save
mode.
5.3.1 Output Level Adjustments
Removing the left hand side metallic panel exposes one attenuator
knob for each channel, numbered one through eight starting from
the left hand side. Each channel’s output attenuation level can
be set to any value from 0 to ∞. Attenuation level decreases by
rotating the blue knob clockwise.
FIGURE 12: Front panel left hand side output attenuator s
5.3.2 Energy Save
Energy save capabilities can be activated for each channel pair.
When the energy save mode is activated on a channel pair, the
Ottocanali enters a low power consumption idle state when
no signal activity is detected for more than 4 seconds. Normal
operation is resumed in a matter of milliseconds when an incoming
signal is detected on the channel pair.

The Ottocanali front panel provides important information on the
state of the amplier. It is important to know and understand the
meaning of every front panel indicator in order to have crucial
information on the operational state of the amplier.
There are two sets of LEDs on the Ottocanali front panel. On the
upper portion of the left hand side of the front panel are 16 LEDs,
4 for each channel pair, available for DSP functions.

For models including a DSP: the lighted LED indicates which preset
is active for that specic channel pair. The rst lef tmost set of 4
LEDs refers to channels 1 and 2, the second set of 4 LEDs refers to
channels 3 and 4 and so on. Preset parameters are dened, set and
modied by connecting the Ottocanali amplier to a computer
using the Armonía Pro Audio Suite software. The pushbutton
on the lef t of each set of 4 LEDs allows to manually select the
preset for that particular channel pair. Pushing the button will cycle
between all 4 available presets.
On the central portion of the front panel of the Ottocanali are 8
columns of 7 LEDs, one column for each channel.

Some of these LEDs have multiple signaling modes, e.g. metering
or alarm modes. Their function is summarized in the following
chart:
LED Color Solid ON Blinking
Red Channel output level has
reached clipping limits
OR
Channel has been muted
due to heat sink temperature
rising above 80°C
1)
Yell o w Channel output level is
above -6dB of max output
level
OR
Thermal warning: heat sink
temperature is above 70°C
2)
Green Channel output level is
above -12dB of max output
level
Green Channel output level is
above -24dB of max output
level
Green Input signal is above -60dBV
Green Channel is ready
Green -- AUX inputs
are selected

Even if only one channel causes thermal overload, all channels
are muted and all red LEDs are on.
