Description:
The iKON iK81 is an advanced 8-channel power amplifier which
combines very high power density with superb audio performance,
state-of-the-art DSP and network control. A dedicated controller
amplifier for the Martin Audio Wavefront Precision WPM line array,
the iK81 can also provide multi-channel amplification across
the Martin Audio loudspeaker range.
Applications:
Dedicated system amplifier for the Wavefront Precision Series
Versatile multi-channel amplification for Martin Audio loudspeaker systems
Ethernet is used for system remote control and monitoring via
Martin Audio’s VU-NET software application, while a user friendly
front panel interface allows full local control of all features.
Dante digital audio network inputs are also provided
for digital audio distribution and control.
Powerful DSP is fully integrated into the iK81 to provide a
multitude of features. It also provides up to 1000 FIR filter
taps @ 48kHz on each output channel, which is essential to implement
DISPLAY’s wide bandwidth optimisation process in the WPM line array.
The iK81 employs comprehensive protection functions to maintain
safe operating conditions of both the amplifier and the loudspeakers
driven — including a sophisticated loudspeaker limiter suite which
incorporates peak, RMS and excursion limiting, as well as
multiband limiting for passive 2-way systems.
