Extron NetPA U8001-1SUB 800 W Network Power Amplifier - Dante/AES67 Subwoofer

Product Description

The Extron NetPA U8001-1SUB is a single-channel networked subwoofer power amplifier built for professional distributed audio systems running Dante or AES67 networked audio. It receives a single Dante/AES67 digital audio channel over standard Ethernet and delivers 800 watts optimized for low-frequency reproduction into 4 ohm or 8 ohm subwoofers, as well as 70V and 100V distributed subwoofer lines. As an 800 W network power amplifier with Dante/AES67 subwoofer support, it gives commercial AV integrators a dedicated, network-managed low-frequency channel without adding analog cabling to the signal path.

Onboard Extron ProDSP provides low-frequency EQ, dynamics, delay, and filtering tuned for subwoofer performance, while front-panel controls, status LEDs, and Ethernet connectivity allow remote configuration and monitoring through Extron DSP Configurator software. The fanless 1U half-rack enclosure operates silently, making it well suited to noise-sensitive spaces. Support for Dante Domain Manager and AES67 ensures interoperability across a managed networked audio infrastructure.

Typical applications include auditoriums, houses of worship, corporate auditoria, retail and hospitality venues, conference centers, and entertainment spaces that require impactful low-end extension integrated over an audio network. The NetPA U8001-1SUB pairs naturally with full-range Extron amplifiers in a complete distributed system; integrators specifying full-range channels can compare the four-channel XPA U 4004 FX and XPA U 2004 FX, or browse the full Extron collection.

Key Features

• Single Dante/AES67 Network Input — The amplifier receives one channel of high-quality networked audio over standard Ethernet, eliminating dedicated analog subwoofer cabling.
• 800 Watt Subwoofer Output — It delivers 800 watts optimized for low-frequency reproduction into 4 ohm or 8 ohm subwoofers and 70V or 100V distributed lines.
• Extron ProDSP Low-Frequency Processing — Integrated EQ, dynamics, delay, and filtering are tuned specifically to optimize subwoofer performance.
• Dante Domain Manager and AES67 Support — The amplifier interoperates with Dante-enabled devices and supports managed network deployment through Dante Domain Manager.
• DSP Configurator Software Control — Drag-and-drop configuration, real-time monitoring, and preset management are handled through Extron DSP Configurator software.
• Fanless 1U Half-Rack Enclosure — The compact, fanless chassis operates silently and mounts efficiently in racks or on surfaces in noise-sensitive rooms.
• Front-Panel Controls and Status LEDs — On-site adjustment and visual status verification are available directly from the front panel.
• Ethernet Remote Management — Configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates are performed over the network for streamlined system maintenance.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary purpose of the NetPA U8001-1SUB?

It is a dedicated single-channel subwoofer amplifier that takes one Dante or AES67 networked audio channel and delivers 800 watts optimized for low-frequency reproduction into 4/8 ohm subwoofers or 70V/100V distributed subwoofer lines.

What networked audio protocols does it support?

The amplifier is Dante-compatible and AES67-compliant and supports Dante Domain Manager, allowing it to integrate into managed networked audio systems alongside other Dante-enabled devices.

Does it include onboard signal processing?

Yes. Extron ProDSP provides low-frequency EQ, dynamics, delay, and filtering tuned for subwoofer applications, all configurable through Extron DSP Configurator software over the network.

Is the amplifier suitable for noise-sensitive rooms?

Yes. The fanless 1U half-rack design operates silently, making it appropriate for conference rooms, auditoriums, and other environments where fan noise would be objectionable.

How is the amplifier installed and managed?

It mounts in a 1U half-rack footprint using the included mounting kit, is powered by an internal universal supply, and is configured, monitored, and updated remotely over Ethernet. For full-range channels in the same system, see the XPA U 4004 FX or browse the Extron collection.
