Powersoft Introduces K3 Digital Amplification System
Pompton Plains, NJ––The newest addition to Powersoft’s flagship Digam K Series power amps and a model of volumetric efficiency, the ultra-compact new K3 measures only 1 RU by 14” (360 mm) deep and weighs only 17.6 lbs (8 Kg)––yet produces 2,800 watts per channel at 2 Ohm.
As its predecessors, the K3 also features Power Factor Correction (PFC) for exceptionally low power consumption and wide mains operating range. Advanced switch-mode worldwide oper-ating power supply enables seamless worldwide use.
The K3 has a comprehensive-user friendly front panel display menu with an LCD matrix inter-active display. Displays include load impedance, output power and mains voltage measure-ments for each channel.
Other precision functions include a digital gain-attenuator control and user selectable maxi-mum output power for each channel, along with maximum mains current draw.
A variable speed fan reduces noise to digital audio threshold; temperatures can be closely monitored with LCD-recorded performance tracking. The K3’s fixed frequency switchmode out-put stage ensures superior sonic accuracy.
Designed for optimum user flexibility, the K3 includes built in Remote Control (RS 485 inter-face) for full diagnostic, operational setting and system monitoring; Smart Card settings, pa-rameters. Options include built-in DSP and Ethernet control featuring Powersoft’s brilliant new KAESOP protocol and fully compatible with the new Audio Suite software that the company will release in late spring.
