Powersoft M50Q 4-Channel Power Amplifier for Touring and Installation

With 5,000 W across four channels in a single rack space unit at a mere 7.4 kg / 16.3 lb weight, the M50Q is equally versatile in touring and permanently installed racks. Legendary sound quality deriving from Powersoft's patented technologies, and outstandingly high efficiency are making the M50Q the leader in its class. Optimized for mid-sized sound systems and 4? loads, it is a fantastic value, practically as well as commercially.

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.

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 its 4 channels delivering up to 5,000 W all neatly packed in one single rack unit weighing just over 7 kg / 16 lb, the M50Q is a flexible, cost-effective solution for small to medium sound systems.

Benefitting from core technologies of Powersoft's flagship K Series, the M50Q sets a class standard in efficiency, leading to low power consumption, and consequently to substantial money savings on electricity, all in an eco-friendly way.

Minimum heat dissipation makes the M50Q suitable for hot or otherwise challenging environments.

Added the legendary sound quality thanks to Powersoft's unique, patented Class D output stage design, the M50Qrepresents a fantastic value, practically as well as commercially.

The M50Q 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 cancellation 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
