Last week, Italian amplifier manufacturer Powersoft ‘shook things up’ with four exclusive in-person listening sessions in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The presentation and listening experience, which astounded an A-list of invitation-only attendees from live sound, systems integration and loudspeaker manufacturing markets on the west coast, heralded the next generation of Powersoft’s Class D amplifiers and moving magnet linear technology. After a thorough explanation on the science behind the technology, guests were treated to a room-shaking, ear-opening experience as M-System took center stage.
The M-System is the ultimate solution for high output power subwoofers, utilizing Powersoft’s patented M-Force motor transducer, its M-Drive switching mode amplifier module and its Differential Pressure Control (DPC) technology. M-System is the most powerful and efficient technology for subwoofers in the world, capable of reproducing 150 dB SPL or more out of a single cabinet.
Each of the presentations, which occurred on November 18 and 20, also included a demonstration of Powersoft’s other innovative amplifier lines, including K Series, X Series and its Armonia software, which puts powerful DSP and control capabilities to the hands of the user. The sessions highlighted the overall advantages of Class D amplification, which Powersoft introduced in 1995. These include more efficient power consumption, lower heat dissipation, and a smaller physical footprint, and among other benefits.
Spotlight on M-System
The M-System was a core component of the largest subwoofer installation in the world, which occurred at Hollywood’s Avalon Sound earlier this year. The technology was also used for this year’s red carpet event at the GRAMMY Awards, held in Los Angeles last February. The M-System is a nominee for the 31st Annual NAMM Technical Excellence & Creativity Awards, which will be announced at the 2016 NAMM Show in Anaheim, Calif. on January 23rd.
-
Ability to recycle Back-EMF (Electro Motive Force) from the loudspeaker, creating better damping efficiency and enabling power banking of energy.
-
Provides higher power density and higher output than any amplifier module in the world.
-
Capability of delivering high power and current at a very low impedance load
Powersoft holds a total of five patents on M-System: two on M-Force, one on M-Drive and Two on DPC.
