DAS Audio DX-80i - 2000W 4-Channel Analog Input Power Amplifier with 2U Rackspace and DSP in Black Finish

The DAS Audio DX-80i is a cutting-edge 2000W 4-channel analog input power amplifier featuring integrated DSP processing capabilities, designed for versatility and exceptional performance in both live and installed sound environments. This amplifier retains the powerful output of its predecessor, the DX-80, delivering 2000W per channel at 4 ohms, making it suitable for a wide range of audio applications. The DX-80i's compact 2U rackspace design facilitates seamless integration into various setups, and its sleek black finish adds a modern aesthetic to any rig.

One of the standout features of the DX-80i is its ability to accept multiple audio sources, including analog signals, AES3 digital audio, and optional Dante networked audio. This flexibility allows the amplifier to connect to virtually any source and make audio available over a network. Moreover, it can process four additional channels with local analog outputs, enabling connection to non-DSP DX Series amplifiers. These auxiliary processed outputs can also be sent onto the network, allowing interoperability with non-DSP DX amplifiers equipped with Dante cards or any Dante-enabled device.

The DX-80i utilizes Class D output circuitry, renowned for its high efficiency and minimal heat production, making it an energy-efficient choice for audio professionals. With a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, the amplifier ensures a full spectrum of sound reproduction, while its total harmonic distortion remains below 0.2%, guaranteeing clean and accurate audio performance. The amplifier features a high input impedance of 20 kohms and a voltage gain of 32 dB, which contributes to its exceptional audio fidelity and responsiveness.

In terms of user control, the DX-80i is equipped with a comprehensive set of controls, including a power on/off switch, channel mute functions, a rotary encoder, edit keys, bank keys, and navigation keys, allowing for intuitive operation and customization. The cooling system is designed to direct airflow from front to back, ensuring optimal operating temperatures even during extended use. The DX-80i includes multiple protective features such as short circuit protection, DC output protection, and thermal protection to maintain reliable performance in demanding environments.

For enhanced monitoring and diagnostics, the amplifier features an LCD screen along with LED indicators that provide real-time feedback on power status, channel output levels, and network audio connectivity. With four female XLR connectors for audio signal input and four speakON connectors for speaker output, the DX-80i is designed for ease of connectivity. Additionally, remote control capabilities are supported through USB, Ethernet, and RS485, allowing for control and monitoring of the amplifier, even in legacy systems.

The DX-80i has a net weight of 22.7 lbs and dimensions of 3.5 x 19.0 x 16.7 inches, making it lightweight and portable. The shipping weight is 25.4 lbs, with carton dimensions of 9.8 x 24.0 x 23.6 inches, ensuring convenient transport and setup. Overall, the DAS Audio DX-80i stands out as a powerful, flexible, and energy-efficient amplifier that meets the demands of modern audio applications.
