DMA can distribute four audio channels to satellite DMA-P units for “easy installation and scalable architecture”
Forming part of the Business Music range are two new digital mixer amplifiers: the DMA 82 (2x 80W) and DMA 162 (2x 160W). According to RCF, both provide a powerful matrix/DSP platform with recallable speaker presets, while the OLED front panel is said to make the setup extremely user friendly. Configuration can also be performed via the RCF universal RDNet software, using the optional board. Some of the device features can also be controlled from third-party systems via serial protocol. DMA can distribute four audio channels to satellite DMA-P units for “easy installation and scalable architecture”.
With on-board DSP, the DMA 162P (2x 160W) amplifier has been designed to increase the installed power in a multi-room architecture. One analogue stereo input and four-channel bus (via Cat-5 cabling) can be routed to power outputs via DIP switches. DSP configuration and presets are only via RDNet. Each unit can receive four mono or dual stereo channels from the four-channel audio bus, with a local stereo input as an alternative. Line output for the subwoofer is also available.
Working in conjunction with the DMA units, the RC 401 remote control and the BM 404 paging console are said to expand the features further. The RC 401 offers volume control and source select, while the BM 404 microphone base can manage up to four zones, with up to four paging consoles connected in a daisy-chain fashion, interlocked.
Meanwhile, the Ayra Pro10 Sub is an active reference subwoofer designed for Ayra Pro studio monitors and is also suitable for low-frequency extension on third-party audio systems. With tight and accurate bass reproduction, RCF reports that the sub is ideal for audio recording, mixing, multichannel systems, desktop use and other creative applications. It is a true active 300W RMS Class-D power amplifier with a 10-inch composite fibre woofer and a 25–120Hz frequency response. The sub comes with a stereo input board, a stereo x-over output, a low-turbulence frontal bass-reflex port and a variable 2nd-order crossover from 50–120Hz.
