Dynacord IPX10:8 DSP Power Amplifier

Dynacord’s IPX10:8 is a dedicated amplifier for fixed install applications that require high power multichannel amplifiers with sophisticated speaker processing.

The IPX series from Dynacord, heard in stadiums, arenas, concert halls, and houses of worship, delivers high-power, multi channel amplification for fixed install applications with the added touch of sophisticated speaker processing. Featuring smart Eco Mode, digitally controlled interleaved PFC supply, comprehensive fallback options, and integrated DSP, the IPX series can run in 48 kHz or true 96 kHz (including FIR Drive). Operate each channel individually in low impedance mode or 70 V/ 100 V Direct Drive Mode, or bridge to 140 V/ 200 V Direct Drive for greater expansion to drive all kinds of loudspeakers. Besides analog inputs, Dante, and OCA via OMNEO, network inputs are available. Fully integrated with IRIS-NET, local control and supervision are simple with the front panel OLED display. The IPX Series streamlines the needs of your fixed install system.
