Powersoft OTTOCANALI 12K4 DSP + DANTE | Up to 12 kW for powering Lo-Z and Hi-Z transducers

The Ottocanali 12K4 is a flexible and reliable 8-channel power amplifiers with up to a total of 12,000 W at 4Ω, ideal for multi-zone applications in medium to large-scale installs: Ottocanali 12K4 supports any combination of lo-Z loudspeakers, mono-bridgeable channel pairs and 70V/100V Hi-Z distributed lines with no need for output step-up transformers. The Ottocanali 12K4 features switchable main/aux signal inputs and offers a wide range of system control, alarms, GPI/O and monitoring functions as well as sound shaping options.

The Ottocanali 12K4 implements redundant universal switch mode power supplies with PFC and patented SRM (Smart Rails Management) technology maximizing reliability, efficiency and reducing power consumption.

New Ottocanali 12K4 DSP+D heralds new and innovative level of signal processing, providing non-boolean routing and mixing, multi-stage equalization with raised-cosine, IIR and FIR filters, delay up to 2 s in input processing and 100 ms for time alignment, gain and polarity adjustment, crossover, peak limiters, TruePower™ limiters and Active DampingControl™.

Powersoft’s legendary efficiency saves valuable energy, keeping both operational cost and ‘carbon footprint’ at a minimum: the Ottocanali 12K4 shines with outstandingly low power consumption and heat dissipation; This dramatically reduces costs from the AC mains supply and air conditioning/cooling systems – not to mention the benefits to the environment for a greener planet

• Redundant universal switch mode power supply up to 400VAC tolerant with Power Factor Correction
• Patented output filter with ripple cancellation network
• Low Inrush Limiting reduces AC inrush current, removing the need for expensive power sequencers
• Detachable AC mains cable with IEC C19/22.2 (16A for EU, 20 A for USA) socket
• Ac protection: shut down power supply when AC mains voltage is outside operating range
• Clip limiter: prevents severely clipped waveforms from reaching loudspeakers, while still maintaining full peak power output
• DC protection: protects against infrasonic signal at the outputs
• VHF protections: protects the loudspeakers against non audible, strong, non musical high frequency signals
• Short circuit protection: protects the amplifier from short circuit or other stressful events for the output circuits with automatic protection reset
• Long term limiter: protects the loudspeaker against steady long term rms (non audio) signals reducing maximum output
• Thermal protection: output stages operating temperature up to 80 °C (176 °F)
• Temperature controlled continous variable speed fan, front to back airflow
• Fixed frequency switchmode output stage for high grade sound accuracy
• All models 2 RU for reduced rack cost and space
• Light weight - for easier racking and shipping: 14 kg / 30.8 lbs
• Standard Phoenix connectors: analog and digital input, audio outputs, aux supply, alarms and GPIO
• Remotely switchable double input (main and aux) per channel
• Direct drive either low impedance loads or 70V / 100V Hi-Z distributed lines
• Switchable 35Hz / 70Hz high pass filter per channel
• Mixed configuration with Lo-Z/Hi-Z systems possible
• Bridged mode low impedance per channel pair
