Description

The DSP Series include DSP and are intended for use with ASCENDO passive subwoofer models.


This powerful amplifier range from ASCENDO features state-of-the-art amplification technology, utilizing a very efficient and green design, without diminishing the quality of sound and dynamics that ASCENDO amplifiers are known for. This new generation of power supplies use Power Factor Correction (PFC) to improve efficiency, with the design also featuring high-efficiency audio modules in class D, and a very high capacity for instantaneous power.

 

  • Ultra-compact and lightweight 2-U high
  • Temperature controlled, front to back cooling fan, upside-down design to avoid fan dust accumulation
  • Temperature and signal dependent, intelligent cooling system for minimal noise
  • Highly oversized thermal dissipation design for maximum reliability
  • Detented sealed potentiometers for easy recall of volume settings
  • Protections include Soft-start, Turn-on Turn-off transients, Over-heating, DC, RF, Short-circuit, Open or mismatched loads. ICL clip-limiters
  • 70V/100V Line Direct/Drive Output
  • Neutrik® XLR and Speakon® connectors, see models with DANTE input option
  • No 12V trigger included. External 12V (TRI-AS) available.
