Powersoft K3 DSP + AESOP

Powersoft K3 DSP + AESOP – 2-Channel Power Amplifier with DSP and Network Control

The Powersoft K3 DSP + AESOP is a high-performance, dual-channel amplifier designed for professional touring and fixed-install applications. It integrates powerful onboard DSP and Ethernet-based networking through the AESOP protocol, providing system designers and engineers with detailed control, exceptional power density, and reliable long-term performance.

Amplification and Power Output

• Two independent amplifier channels

• Delivers up to 2800 W per channel at 2 ohms, 2600 W at 4 ohms, and 1400 W at 8 ohms

• Bridge mode supports up to 5600 W at 4 ohms

• High-voltage output with fast transient response

• Class-D amplification with high-efficiency power conversion and low heat output

• Universal power supply with power factor correction supports operation from 100 to 240 VAC

DSP Capabilities

• Fully integrated DSP for signal management and system protection

• Features include parametric EQ, crossovers, delay, peak and RMS limiting, and output alignment tools

• Advanced limiter types such as TruePower and frequency-dependent RMS protect both the amplifier and connected speakers

• Output delay and group control for multi-speaker time alignment

• Live impedance monitoring and real-time feedback for load verification

AESOP Networking
