Its sonic performances set a new target for professional audio market. By using the Step-Up procedure it is now possible to increase the output power without having to change amplifier.

K10 DSP + AESOP    

2-Channel High Performance Power Amplifier                  

Overview chart                         

The K10 is   nothing short of power with 12,000 W from a single rack space chassis.   Capable of driving subwoofers and large-scale FOH systems equally well,   numerous touring sound reinforcement systems are built around racks   exclusively utilizing K10's for all frequency bands, benefitting greatly   from maximum flexibility. Operation with 2Ω loads is not only safely   possible but recommended, reducing the number of amplifiers required in a   system.              

In use worldwide by leading touring and event sound companies, K   Series is preferred among the top ranking system designers, sound   engineers, and system techs on the road for making their lives easier,   giving them reliable premier-grade power and headroom in the smallest   possible package size.            

Fully digitally controlled and with a serial PC communication port as   standard, the K10 is also available with KDSP board and KAESOP   Ethernet/AES3 interface: the K10 DSP+AESOP amounts to a   fully integrated, highly sophisticated yet easy to use power source   including state-of-the-art sound shaping and system management   capabilities, remotely controllable via Powersoft's Armonía Pro Audio Suite (Interface available for MediaMatrix, Crestron, AMX, Q-SYS control and monitoring systems).Power supply               

Features                              

• Advanced switch-mode worldwide operating power supply technology for high performance and compact size

Protections
Fully protected circuit design with:

• Ac protection: shut down power supply when AC mains voltage is outside operating range
                 
• Clip limiter: prevents severely clipped waveforms from reaching loudspeakers, while still maintaining full peak power output
                 
• DC protection: protects against infrasonic signal at the outputs
