About Powersoft M20D

Like all M Series models, the M20D is an outstanding value in any smaller to medium sized sound system where an efficient, compact and good sounding amplifier is expected to work reliably over a long period. Since 2Ohm-capability is usually not needed in smaller systems, the M20D is properly dimensioned with its 4Ohm optimization.

In use worldwide by leading touring and event sound companies, Powersoft amplifiers are preferred among the top ranking system designers, sound engineers, and contractors for providing reliable premier-grade power and headroom in the smallest possible package size.

Alternatively, the M20D can drive constant voltage 70V lines directly where multiple loudspeakers are required.

Maximum efficiency warrants minimum current draw, heat dissipation and power consumption, resulting in "green" products, saving the user a substantial amount of money over time.

Equally versatile in both portable and installed system configurations and with delivering up to 2,400 W out of one single rack unit weighing just over7 kg / 16 lb, the M20D is a flexible, cost-effective solution for small to medium sound systems

Benefitting from core technologies of Powersoft's flagship K Series, the M20D is highly efficient, leading to low power consumption, and consequently to substantial money savings on electricity, all in an eco-friendly way.

Minimum heat dissipation makes the M20D suitable for hot or otherwise challenging environments.

Added the legendary sound quality thanks to Powersoft's unique, patented Class D output stage design, the M20Drepresents a fantastic value, practically as well as commercially.

The M20D comes with 4 years warranty and, like all Powersoft products, is entirely designed and made in Italy.

Features

Power Supply
• Advanced switch-mode power supply technology for high performance and compact size
• Fixed frequency switch mode output
• Patented output filter with ripple cncellation network

Protections
Fully protected circuit design with:
• Ac protection: shut down power supply when AC mains voltage is outside operating range
• Clip limiter: prevents severely clipped waveforms from reaching loudspeakers, while still maintaining full peak power output
• DC protection: protects against infrasonic signal at the outputs
• VHF protections: protects the loudspeakers against non audible, strong, non musical high frequency signals
• Short circuit protection: protects the amplifier from short circuit or other stressful events for the output circuits with automatic protection reset
• Long term limiter: protects the loudspeaker against steady long term rms (non audio) signals reducing maximum output
• Thermal protection: output stages operating temperature up to 75 Degree C (167 Degree F)
• Temperature controlled continous variable speed fan, front to back airflow

General
• Direct drive constant voltage, 70V Hi-Z distributed lines
• Compact size - all models only 1 RU for reduced rack cost and space
• Light weight - all models only 7.4 kg (16 pounds) for easier racking and shipping
• Neutrik XLR balanced inputs with loop thru XLR and Speakon outputs connectors Recessed stepped attenuators
• Modular construction
• Full four years warranty

Legendary Powersoft efficiency
• Compact and space saving: 1 RU at 358 mm / 14.1'' standard depth
• Green Audio Power: minimal "carbon footprint" and operational cost of electricity
• Plenty of power, little weight: up to 2,400 W in 7.3 kg / 16 lb

Unique Powersoft technology for efficient, reliable performance:
• Switch mode power supply, internally switchable 230/115 V nominal
• Fixed frequency switch mode amplifier output stages
• Patented amplifier output filters with ripple cancellation network

Driving distributed line systems
• Able to drive 70 V constant voltage lines directly without the need for transformers
• Optimized for 4 Ohm loads, thus ideally matching real-world scenarios in targeted applications
• Also available as M20D HDSP+ETH with integrated DSP and Ethernet comm port.
