Martin Audio IK42-DANTE, 4-ch Power Amp with 4x4 96kHz DSP. 4x 5000w @ 2Ω, 4x 3000w @ 8Ω

Martin Audio IK42-DANTE, 4-ch Power Amp with 4x4 96kHz DSP. 4x 5000w @ 2Ω, 4x 3000w @ 8Ω

The Martin Audio IK42-DANTE can deliver a full 5000 watts per channel into 2Ω with all channels driven while remaining highly efficient. Its high efficiency reduces the energy drawn from the mains supply and ensures the power reserves needed to deliver superb sound under arduous live conditions. Ethernet is used for system remote control and monitoring via Martin Audio’s VU-NET software application, while a user-friendly front panel interface allows full local control of all features. Dante digital audio network inputs are also provided for digital audio distribution and control. Powerful DSP is fully integrated into the Martin Audio IK42-DANTE to give a multitude of features that ensure maximum performance and worldwide compatibility of XE monitors. It also provides up to 1000 FIR filter taps @ 48kHz on each output channel, which is essential to implement DISPLAY’s wide bandwidth optimization process in WP line array systems. The Martin Audio IK42-DANTE employs comprehensive protection functions to maintain safe operating conditions of both the amplifier and the loudspeakers driven — including a sophisticated loudspeaker limiter suite that incorporates peak, RMS, and excursion limiting, as well as multiband limiting for passive 2-way systems.
