K.M.E. Introduces Digital-Amplifier DA 230 at Prolight & Sound
Based on the 4-channel digital amplifier DA 428, a more powerful model - the DA 230 with a power output of 1.500 W per channel - will be presented.
The two-channel amplifier DA 230 is equipped with comprehensive DSP features like a matrix router, six fully parametric equalisers, two crossover networks, delay and dynamic processor per channel. Factory and user presets may be stored inside the unit, an SD card reader is implemented and can be used to easily transfer preset and system information to other units.
All parameters as well as user navigation can be managed using a simple five-key navigation pad together with four rotary encoders. The sophisticated user interface is completed by a graphic LCD display and four RGB LEDs informing the user of relevant operation parameters and state of the single channels.
The inputs have two analogue or one digital XLR connector which can also be used mixed. Link sockets, either carrying the signal applied to the inputs can be routed as processed digital outputs. The power connection is a self- locking Neutrik PowerCon connector, and two Neutrik Speakon sockets ensure the connection to the speaker systems.
The designers also implemented a module slot for future updates, i.e. connections to audio or control networks, standard- fitted with module RSNC equipped with a RS232 connector and a 'normally closed' contact feature. Another important feature is the PFC controlled, audio- optimised wide-range switched-mode power supply of the latest generation. A top feature is the absolutely quiet "low-noise" fan.
The amplifier's wide-range application scope ranges from monitor over the use in passive components, to the realisation of multi-channel systems within sound installations.
The DA 230 is mainly intended for the amplification of more powerful reinforcement components.
By the optional available PC software Preset-Editor you can create own presets on your computer. This KME preset files can be saved on an SD card and later transfered to both digital amplifiers DA 428 and DA 230.
Firmware updates can also be transfered by an SD-card on DA 428 and DA 230.
