Audio Centron power amplifier provides a unique combination of power and audio performance, seamlessly integrating advanced DSP and network control, CP series multi-channel power amplifier, each channel power is between 400W and 2500W (bridge connection can reach 5000W) . The ultra-high power design of the power supply ensures that each channel can still operate at full power and high efficiency at 2 ohms. What is unusual is that these are not "instantaneous" "burst" or "peak" power figures. They are output by all channels, even under the same dense program signal. With the Audio Centron amplifier, there is no need for power matching between channels, and you can continue to use all power.
The CP series multi-channel power amplifier is the best choice for live sound reinforcement applications. The unique DSP provides the perfect combination of high power and unparalleled audio performance. The CP series represents an unparalleled advancement in power amplifier technology.
Audio Centron can do this, derived from the technical development level of the supplier's internal components and finely optimized design, providing 7% to 10% more efficiency than any competitive product. Obviously, these additional efficiency gains converted to energy are half of the energy wasted (heat). In addition to ensuring a large amount of power reserve, the high efficiency caused by reduced energy loss also keeps the sound pure in the most extreme use environment.
The difference is that the maximum power of each channel can be output for 2Ω, 4Ω and 8Ω constant resistance, and it can also be output for 25V, 75V and 100V constant voltage. This provides designers and integrators with unparalleled flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
Ethernet is used for remote control and monitoring, while the front panel allows full local control of all functions for challenging field environment optimization. Through the intuitive control of Audio Centron System Engineer PC software, many convenient and quick parameter settings are provided, such as flexible preset management, duplication mute group, gain, delay and EQ of the entire system.
The advanced 96khz DSP is fully integrated into the product and provides a unique array of truly useful functions. Because DSP's omni-directional algorithm is designed and manufactured by Audio Centron, it cannot be used on other manufacturers' products. For example, LIR linear phase divider filters are as simple to use as other traditional filters and have less time lag than FIR filters. There is also a powerful VX limiter set that can limit the peak value (Peak), root mean square (RMS) and stroke (Excursion). In addition, there are multi-segment restrictions for passive two-way frequency.
