Key Features
QuadBridge™ Technology: Configure each 4-channel block in Mono, V-Bridge, I-Share, or Quad modes to allocate power as needed. This technology supports both low impedance and 70/100V loudspeaker loads.
ControlSpace® Designer™ Software: Fully configure the amplifier via USB or Ethernet connections. Access advanced features such as parametric EQ, load sweep, and auto standby.
Auto-Standby/Auto-Wake Function: This energy-saving feature automatically transitions the system into standby mode when audio levels are low and reactivates it when audio resumes, reducing power consumption.
Dual Voltage and Current Feedback Loop: This proprietary design combines Class-D efficiency with precise control over current and voltage, ensuring optimal frequency response and minimal distortion.
PeakBank™ Power Supply: A regenerative 4-quadrant power supply provides higher power density and efficient low-frequency response.
Fast-Tracking Power Factor Correction (PFC): Manages AC mains current efficiently, allowing for maximum output without power fluctuation.
The PM8250N is ideal for environments requiring robust, scalable audio solutions, offering flexibility and performance. Contact us today to learn more about the PM8250N that can elevate your audio experience.
