Features
INTEGRATED DANTE™ / AES67 NETWORKED AUDIO – Simplifies installation by enabling Dante / AES67 networked audio signals to be sent directly to the amplifier. Provides flexibility of installation options available with our expansive line-up of DriveCore Install amplifiers.
NETWORK CONFIGURATION, MONITORING & CONTROL – Better monitoring, control and audio manipulation with the HiQnet™ protocol over standard TCP/IP network. The HiQnet Audio Architect software allows for remote configuration, monitoring, and control of all aspects of the DCi-DA Series amplifiers.
PROGRAMMABLE GENERAL PURPOSE INPUT/OUTPUT PORT – GPIO ports can be configured in many different ways, such as volume controls, recall presets, or to report errors to third-party control system.
DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING – DSP capabilities include the following:
LevelMAX Limiters
Input/Output EQ
Crossover
Delay
Matrix Router
Speaker Line Monitoring
EN 54-16 Compliant for Life Safety Applications - Part 16 of the European Union’s (EU) EN 54 standard for fire detection and alarm systems has a specific requirement for voice alarms, which output messages in the form of a voice message rather than a traditional siren. This amplifier is certified as part of an EN 54-16VACIE*, meeting the stringent requirements of a life safety system to serve the needs of hospitality, large venue and other markets.
