DPA Series
The new models of the DPA 8000 series are based on highly efficient Class D platforms and offer in addition to outstanding audio performance features such as integrated automatic break- down switchover, integrated electronics for the connection of multiple loudspeaker lines per amplifier channel, an additional audio input, etc.
The Promatrix 8000 system, to which the DPA 8000 amplifiers also belong, sets new standards in the integration of event, information and evacuation sound reinforcement.
In the development of the DPA 8000 series, the emphasis was upon the following primary characte- ristics: smaller dimensions coupled with greater power, lower power consumption, higher integration of functions, and better audio per- formance. The outcome is a series of models that meet the highest demands of modern sound reinforce-
ment systems including evacuation conformity. With a
Thanks to the permanent integrated supervision, faults not only in the amplifiers themselves but also in the loudspeaker lines connected are detected and reported imme- diately. For the supervision of the loudspeaker lines, a choice is offered of various methods, which can be used singly or in combination.
The total power of 500 W in two rack units is achieved with minimal power dissipation, which means savings, too, on external air condi- tioning.
Each of the amplifiers possesses an additional audio input for the playing of background music or use as an emergency input. For the connection of multiple loudspeaker lines to a single amplifier channel,
the control electronics are already integrated into the amplifier and can be extended through the DCS 400 modular system.
It goes without saying that power can be drawn either from the mains or a battery and that all devices offer power up current limiting as well as additional protec- tive circuitry.
