Dynacord IX60:4-US – 4-Channel 6kW Networked DSP Amplifier

Product Overview

The Dynacord IX60:4 is a 4-channel networked DSP amplifier delivering 6 kW of total output power for large-format commercial AV installations driving demanding low-Z loudspeaker systems and high-Z distributed lines. Built on powerTANK technology, this rack-mount amplifier handles both high-Z (70V/100V) and low-Z loads from a single chassis. With 8x8 Dante and OMNEO (Dante audio plus OCA/AES70 control), the IX60:4 integrates directly into managed AV networks for centralized control and monitoring. It gives system designers a high-output 96 kHz DSP amplifier platform for auditoriums, worship spaces, and large meeting venues.

Product Description

The IX60:4 fits a single rack unit and combines four high-output amplifier channels with a fully featured 96 kHz DSP engine, consolidating routing, equalization, dynamics, and loudspeaker tuning inside one device. Its 12 x 12 matrix mixer, FIR-Drive speaker processing, and Dynacord FX let a system designer build complete signal chains without external processors. Four mic/line inputs accept local sources directly or act as Dante break-in points, while eight Dante inputs and eight Dante outputs carry networked audio across the install. The MXE-style TaskEngine handles system logic, scheduling, and automation for integration with third-party control. ghostPOWER over PoE keeps the DSP, Dante network, and mic/line inputs active independent of mains power, protecting paging and monitoring during AC interruptions. ecoRAIL energy management reduces operating cost in always-on deployments. With 6 kW of total power and per-channel output up to 1,800 W, the IX60:4 drives high-Z distributed lines and large low-Z point-source or array loudspeakers, supporting primary reinforcement and distributed zones together. The amplifier is configured and controlled in SONICUE Sound System Software and can act as a SONICUE control server for WPN1 wall panels, the TPC-1 touch panel, and iOS or Windows devices. Integrators comparing models can review the full Dynacord collection, and reference the two-channel Dynacord C3600FDi for dual-channel high-power low-Z requirements.

Key Features

• 6 kW powerTANK output — Delivers 6 kW of total power across four channels, with up to 1,800 W per channel for demanding low-Z loudspeaker systems.
• 8x8 Dante networking — Provides eight Dante inputs and eight Dante outputs for distributed audio transport across a managed AV network.
• OMNEO with OCA/AES70 — Combines Dante audio with standards-based OCA/AES70 remote control for IP-based monitoring and configuration.
• 96 kHz DSP with matrix mixer — Runs a 12 x 12 matrix mixer with EQ, dynamics, FIR-Drive, and Dynacord FX so external processing is not required.
• High-Z and low-Z operation — Drives 70V and 100V distributed lines as well as low-impedance loudspeakers, covering background and foreground zones together.
• MXE-style TaskEngine — Adds scheduling, automation, and system logic for integration with third-party control systems.
• ghostPOWER over PoE — Maintains the DSP, Dante network, and mic/line inputs during mains loss using IEEE 802.3af PoE on the primary port.
• SONICUE control server — Configured in SONICUE and able to serve WPN1 wall panels, the TPC-1 touch panel, and iOS or Windows clients.
• 1U rack-mount chassis — Fits a single rack unit with front-to-rear temperature-controlled cooling for dense equipment racks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the IX60:4 support Dante and OMNEO for AV system integration?
Yes. The IX60:4 provides 8x8 Dante audio transport and OMNEO with OCA/AES70 control, so it integrates into managed Dante networks for audio routing and IP-based monitoring and configuration.

Can it drive both 70V/100V distributed lines and low-Z loudspeakers?
Yes. powerTANK technology lets each channel operate in high-Z (70V/100V) Direct Drive mode or low-Z mode, with up to 1,800 W per channel for demanding low-impedance loads.

How is the amplifier configured and controlled?
The IX60:4 is configured in Dynacord SONICUE Sound System Software and can serve as a SONICUE control server for WPN1 wall panels, the TPC-1 touch panel, and iOS or Windows devices.

What happens to the system during a mains power interruption?
ghostPOWER over PoE keeps the DSP, Dante network, and mic/line inputs active independent of mains power, preserving signal presence and network connectivity during AC loss.

What is the speaker output connection?
The IX60:4 uses two 4-pin Euroblock speaker connectors rated for 6.0 mm² / 10 AWG conductors to support its higher per-channel output current.

What rack space does it require?
The IX60:4 is a 1U rack-mount unit measuring 483 x 44.1 x 447 mm with front-to-rear forced-air cooling suitable for standard equipment racks.

Does Creation Networks provide support and warranty service?
Yes. Creation Networks supplies Dynacord IX series amplifiers with manufacturer warranty and can assist with product selection and AV system integration questions.
