IX60:8

8-channel networked DSP power amplifier, 6 kW

Summary & Images Specs Downloads & Support
  • 8-channel networked DSP amplifier with 6 kW powerTANK for Hi-Z and Lo-Z operation
  • 8 x 8 Dante with OCA/AES70 remote control, 8 mic/line inputs usable as Dante break-in
  • 96 kHz fully featured DSP matrix mixer and MXE-style TaskEngine for system logic, automation, scheduling and integration
  • ghostPOWER via PoE to maintain DSP, Dante network and mic/line inputs
  • High efficiency ecoRAIL technology for lower operating costs

The IX60:8 is an 8-channel networked DSP amplifier with 6 kW total output power. Capable of driving Hi-Z or Lo-Z loads with powerTANK technology, the IX60:8 is ideal for a wide range of applications including sports venues, houses of worship, live performance spaces and hospitality.

IX60:8 features eight (8) Dante inputs, eight (8) Dante outputs and eight (8) mic/line inputs that can be used as Dante break-in points. The natively operating 96 kHz DSP features a fully equipped 16 x 16 matrix mixer, EQs, dynamics, Dynacord FX and FIR-Drive capability. All 16 inputs feature pilot-tone detection, while the eight (8) Dante and eight (8) amplifier outputs allow to add pilot tones up to 30 kHz.

The IX60:8 uses Dynacord‘s patented ecoRAIL technology for optimizing energy consumption. ghostPOWER via POE maintains the entire DSP, the Dante network and all mic/line inputs active, independent of the mains power. The integrated MXEstyle TaskEngine allows for system automation, scheduling, control, and integration to third party devices.

IX series is fully integrated in Dynacord‘s SONICUE Sound System Software and can be used as a SONICUE control server, for direct use with the WPN1 wall panel as well as TPC-1, iOS and Windows devices.
