Italian audio manufacturer Powersoft unveiled its newest amplifier platform at InfoComm 2019, June 12-14, in Orlando. The new line, Mezzo, consists of eight amplifier models, each offering different power and connectivity options. Mezzo is a self-configuring amplifier system that delivers power and flexibility in a compact, Class-D technology design.

Mezzo is simple to set up and can be monitored remotely, making it attractive to integrators seeking reduced installation times and more efficient deployment of A/V staff in the field.

 

“Until now, AV/IT integrators and end-users might have experienced limited flexibility in existing low power solutions to drive audio in corporate, hospitality and education environments,” comments Klas Dalbjorn, product manager, Powersoft. “Our new Mezzo platform delivers the quality and reliability Powersoft is already known for, but with smaller power configurations that are highly adaptable for a range of different fixed installation environments. We recognize there are many system designers and integrators that seldom need more than 250W and can often make do on as little 15W on a channel — Mezzo covers these needs.”

Mezzo Specifications


The eight models in the new Mezzo line consist of four power sizes, each offering an option with “A” (Analog) or “AD” (Analog-Digital), which adds Dante/AES67. The power sizes include smaller option of 320W in 4 x 80W and 2 x 160W variants, and a larger option of 600W in 4 x 150 or 2 x 300W.

All of the eight models are networkable and feature automatic setup and load monitoring.These parameters can be monitored and controlled via Powersoft’s own Armonía system manager, or through an external control system or a plug-in in a DSP matrix platform.

The AD models include Dante and AES67 integration, plus an internal Gigabit Ethernet switch and a second port, which enables multiple productsto share the same network cable.

Mezzo Power Sharing

 

The smaller 320W power sized models are able to deliver 80/160W per channel into 2, 4, 8 or 16 ohms as well as 100, 70 or 25V. The larger 600W power sized models can deliver 4 x 150W or 2 x 300W, and can drive two 16 ohm as well as 25, 70 or 100V. Each channel has sufficient headroom for power sharing according to the specific installation needs. This means one model can drive zones of varying sizes, and design changes can be accommodated ‘on the fly’ without having to alter equipment choice.

 

Mezzo Installation Options

Each unit comes with rack mount accessories to fit two units into a standard 19” rack, or 1 unit in a 11” compact rack. Alternatively, the unit can stand alone on rubber feet in a credenza or be mounted on the wall — for instance behind a video screen.
