The Powersoft X8 is a 8-Channel Touring Amplifier with DSP integration. The X-Series in particular has been sophisticatedly designed for both touring and sound system installations; raising the bar in amplifier design and functionality. Equally useful for most subwoofers, as well as high-power fullrange systems, and suitable for any configuration and purpose. Ultimately flexible and safe, the Powersoft X8 permits worldwide AC acceptance and direct connection to any regional power line configuration.

Powersoft’s X8 provides eight fully processable channels and selectable inputs from analog sources, as well as digital AES3 and two redundant Dante™* streams. Channel mixing and routing can be easily performed thanks to the integrated revolutionary low latency DSP, providing the highest degree of freedom in sound shaping and speaker management. Full support to 100 Mbps and Gigabit Ethernet makes it easy to integrate this product into any existing infrastructure.

Both versions of the X Series: the X8 (8-channel) and X4 (4-channel) come standard with Ethernet for extensive amplifier control, full DSP functionality, routing, matrix, and worldwide compatible three-phase power supply. The X Series natively supports AES3 with redundant Brooklyn II based Dante – providing up to 4 different selectable input sources per channel. Completely integrated into ArmoníaPlus™, the Powersoft X8 interface is also available for use in both smartphones and tablets, ensuring a new experience in power management.
