PDA350I is a complete solution dedicated to 2-way self-powered loudspeakers. Designed to meet different applications, it provides 2 channels, composed of one way for powering the Woofer (Low Freq.) and one for powering the Tweeter (High Freq.), with output power of 300W @ 4ohm or150W @ 8ohm(CH1) + 50W(CH2) @8ohm. In addition it offers a full set of value adding features such as on board DSP. To guarantee maximum reliability, the PDA350I includes a highly efficient switch mode power supply which provides power to the 2 output channels. The woofer output stage uses the Class D amplifier module - full bandwith PWM modulator obtaining ultra low distortion, high dynamic range and also equipped with a full set of circuit protections, the Tweeter output stage, is instead powered by a Linear 50W Amp.
The PDA350I includes a set of sophisticated processes for loudspeaker, implemented by the powerful MARANI® DSP running 96kHz/24bit [96 bits precision for the internal intermediate processes]. Processes as Noise Gate, crossover filters, parametric EQs per input and output sections, RMS compressor, alignment delay and All-Pass filters are available, all in all everything needed to optimize a self-powered loudspeaker. Morever the Clip/Limiter function per channel provides output monitoring to prevent speaker damage with gentle gain reduction at clip threshold, in addition to the efficient heat dissipation system and Over-Heat protection which themselves ensure uncompromised reliability.
Furthermore the PDA350I is also equipped with a Dynamic Boost Filter. All setup parameters for input mixing, DSP features and the limiter setting are accessible by using the remote PC software.
