Built on powerTANK technology, this rack-mount amplifier drives both high-Z (70V\/100V) and low-Z loudspeaker loads across eight channels from a single rack unit. With 8x8 Dante and OMNEO (Dante audio plus OCA\/AES70 control), the IX60:8 integrates directly into managed AV networks for centralized control of distributed audio. It gives system designers the highest channel-and-power density in the IX series for large multi-zone venues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe IX60:8 fits a single rack unit and combines eight high-output amplifier channels with a fully featured 96 kHz DSP engine, consolidating routing, equalization, dynamics, and loudspeaker tuning inside one device. Its 16 x 16 matrix mixer, FIR-Drive speaker processing, and Dynacord FX let a system designer build complete signal chains for many zones without external processors. Eight 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 lowers operating cost in always-on deployments. With 6 kW of total power across eight channels, the IX60:8 supports demanding distributed audio and reinforcement zones simultaneously where both high channel count and high output are required. 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.
