Sonance - DSP 8-130 MKIII AMP - 1160W 8.0-Ch. Multi-Channel Amplifier With DSP (Each) - Black

Product Overview

The Sonance DSP 8-130 MKIII amplifier is an eight-channel, rack-mount Class-D amplifier with onboard digital signal processing, built for multi-room and distributed audio installations. It delivers 130 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms with all channels driven, and its integrated DSP optimizes speaker performance while correcting for a room's acoustic properties. With IP and IR control via SonARC, the amplifier fits cleanly into managed AV system integration across commercial and high-end residential projects. The single-rack-space chassis makes it a practical choice for integrators specifying multi-channel amplification in a rack-mount environment.

Product Description

The Sonance DSP 8-130 MKIII amplifier is designed to be the powerhouse behind a distributed audio system, pairing substantial output with the signal processing needed to tune each zone. Each of the eight channels delivers 130 watts RMS into 8 ohms or 145 watts into 4 ohms with all channels driven, and pairs of channels can be bridged for 300 watts into 8 ohms when a zone needs additional headroom. The onboard 24-bit/96k DAC handles up to 4,608 Kbps of audio data, preserving clarity through the processing chain. For control, the amplifier supports IP and IR via SonARC, giving integrators flexible options for integration with third-party control systems and remote management. The 93 percent efficient Class-D design maximizes output while minimizing heat and power draw, an important consideration in densely populated equipment racks. Binding posts accept up to 12 AWG speaker cable for longer runs and higher performance in larger commercial buildings. An optional Digital Input Module adds digital source connectivity for expanded multi-channel amplifier deployments. The compact 1U chassis conserves rack space in conference room, boardroom, and whole-building distributed audio systems. Integrators building out a complete system can pair this amplifier with speakers from the Sonance commercial audio collection at Creation Networks.

The amplifier provides eight channels arranged as four stereo pairs, supporting multiple distributed audio zones from a single 1U chassis.

Can channels be bridged for more power?
Yes. Channel pairs can be bridged to deliver 300 watts into 8 ohms for zones that need additional output and headroom.

What control systems does it support?
The amplifier supports IP and IR control via SonARC, allowing integration with managed AV and third-party control systems.

What gauge speaker cable can it accept?
The binding posts accept up to 12 AWG speaker cable, supporting longer runs in larger commercial installations.

How much rack space does it require?
The amplifier occupies a single rack unit (1U), conserving space in equipment racks and AV closets.

Is digital input supported?
Yes, with the optional Digital Input Module, which adds digital source connectivity to the amplifier.
