Great sound, reliability, and power density are of paramount importance
when on tour. This is why leading tour companies opt for Powersoft
Amplication. Small in size and light in weight, Powersoft ampliers are easy
to haul around, yet their efciency enables amazing amounts of reliable and
great sounding power, no matter if it’s for stadium shows or club gigs.

Choose from a wide range of models with 2, 4, and 8 channels, state-of­the-art DSP and networking options, and many more features useful on the
road.

WHY
WE
ROCK.

®

GREEN AUDIO POWER

At Powersoft, we take pride in our
commitment to produce in a more
sustainable way, and in delivering
more efcient products by exploiting
the full potential of class D
amplication. The PFC technology
grants extremely high efciency
values: our touring line amplier
platforms transform all the energy
drawn from the mains into usable
power. The Smart Rail Management
recycles the reactive energy coming
back from the loudspeakers. Without

AUDIO NETWORK

Our high-performance amplier
platforms seamlessly integrate
within networking environments.
Basic remote control is available in
non DSP models through Armonìa,
whilst comprehensive remote control
is available in DSP+D models.
DSP+D versions are equipped
with Dante™ inputs, offering an
even wider range of compatibility,

monitoring and sound shaping

capabilities. The whole line may
be controlled by third party

SAFETY AND RELIABILITY

Our Touring Line Amplier Platforms
can be trusted in the most demanding
situations.
Some safety features include:

• Live Impedance Monitoring

• Pilot tone Monitoring

• 5 Independent Limiter types

• Fold Back Audio Routing

• Input and Output Monitoring

AUDIO QUALITY

Powersoft’s renowned sound quality
has its roots in the experience
matured in more than 20 years of
being at the forefront of the Class D
Revolution.
Our rened DSP has outstanding
digital sound processing capabilities
allowing the engineer to tailor the
sound to specic needs.
By recycling the otherwise wasted
reactive energy gathered from the

“For the music we play you need headroom, and theoretically this will take 8,000W.
Dub music requires sustained bass notes and the amps we have used in the past would
sometimes struggle.” - Jerome Joly, Mungo’s Hi Fi.

MUNGO’S HI-FI SOUNDSYSTEM

CHALLENGE

Reducing the power to weight ratio of the
ampliers and processing platforms, while
granting output power consistency for the
heavily sustained bass notes.

SOLUTION

One X8 Amplier Platform driving the stereo
mid-top enclosures, and one K20 Amplier
Platform assigned to the subwoofers.

RESULT

A smaller and lighter amplier rack with in built
sound processing capabilities, provinding
massive amounts of sustained and controlled
power.

THE PINNACLE OF POWERSOFT’S KNOW-HOW
IN AMPLIFIER PLATFORM DESIGN

The X Series is no longer simply a power amplifier but a complete loudspeaker
management system, including all signal processing functions.
It innovates and evolves the concept of the amplification platform through the
integration of a worldwide compatible three-phase powerbox, routing matrix,
and a full feature DSP inside the amplifier.

Depending on the application, the X Series amplifier platform is also available
with redundant Brooklyn II based Dante™ solution digital streams. It natively
supports AES3, and traditional analogue inputs, providing up to four different
selectable input sources per channel.
