Powersoft Advanced Technologies,
a manufacturer of power amplifiers for the professional audio
market, is introducing its new Audio Suite control software,
dedicated to the live sound and installation market, at InfoComm
2009 (Booth 6384).
Designed by the Powersoft R&D team, the new software has
been developed following requests and suggestions from some
of the most influential live system designers, installers
and loudspeaker manufacturers. Through their combined feedback,
Powersoft has been able to deliver an enhanced customizable
graphic interface with drag and drop possibilities optimized
for tablet PC use.
Audio Suite is compatible with Powersoft’s K, Q, D, QTU,
and its newest K2 model within the K-Light series as well
as its new Installation Series amplifiers. Audio Suite addresses
standard RS485 Remote Control protocol on an installed board
and Powersoft’s new Ethernet-based AESOP (AES3 &
Ethernet Simple Open Protocol) on an installed board (the
KAESOP board is optional on K-light and Installation series
amplifiers). In addition, Audio Suite features multiple amplifier
control windows for real time computer screen display monitoring
and control.
Audio Suite software offers two possible workflows: Offline
and Online Modes. When used in Offline mode, the user can
configure a system before connecting to a network. When used
in Online mode, system information can be sent or retrieved
from the synchronized network. When used with the new Ethernet
KAESOP board, a system engineer can extend the network to
a virtually unlimited number of amplifiers with the IP addresses
configurable by the end user.
Ethernet networking assures faster data refreshing and data
exchange between each amplifier and the host computer, delivering
real time monitoring of amplifier status, remote connection,
mains presence, current draw, input signal, output voltage,
internal temperature, short-circuit protection, clip and fault.
Audio Suite also offers real time control of amplifier on/off/stand-by
levels, solo, mute, sensitivity, max output voltage, max mains
current draw, presets locking and input selection (digital/analogue/KAESOP).
Its DSP remote control has been optimized with the capability
of importing frequency response curves as ASCII data from
the most popular measuring of software for an easy re-design
of loudspeaker presets that have up to three EQ layers of
32 filters each in the input EQ, as well as16 EQ filters plus
two cross-over filters in the output EQ.
In addition, DSP control is further enhanced by Audio Suite’s
grouping feature which combines input EQ, input delay and
input attenuation KDSP parameters within a graphic interface
that is easy to use. Superior preset protection is assured
by its multilevel locking feature with invisibility of parameters.
Audio Suite demands minimum host computer requirements. It
is PC compatible with computers offering a minimum of a Pentium
IV processor, 1 GB RAM, 128 MB Video RAM, 2,5 GB of free HD
space, Microsoft Windows Server 2003/XP/Vista, and a 100 Mbps
Ethernet card. The color monitor should offer 1024x768 resolution
with 24 bit operation.
