About this file
This document is a detailed Architect's and Engineer's Specification sheet for the PowerSoft UNICA 8M Amplifier, a professional audio equipment product with comprehensive technical capabilities. The specification outlines an eight-channel amplifier with advanced features including a switch mode power supply, power factor correction, smart rail management, and bridgeable class D output circuit topology. The amplifier is designed to operate across universal AC input ranges (100V-240V), with multiple power configurations (2K8, 4K8, 8K8 models) and the ability to drive low impedance loads from 2-16 Ohms and 70V/100V distributed lines.
The amplifier features sophisticated digital signal processing (DSP) capabilities, including a real-time audio processing board with less than 2.6 ms fixed latency, an 8x8 level controllable matrix for inputs, multiple filter types, time alignment, and advanced limiting technologies. Networking capabilities include three RJ45 Ethernet ports, Dante protocol audio over IP support, AES67 standard compatibility, and optional cloud connectivity. Additional features include front panel display, GPIO pins, comprehensive protection circuits for each channel, security protocols like HTTPS and SSH authentication, and an "Easy Swap" replacement procedure. The product is manufactured by Powersoft S.p.A., an Italian audio technology company, and is marketed with the tagline "DRIVING HUMAN AUDIO EXPERIENCE".

UNICA 8M AMPLIFIER
Architect’s and Engineer’s Specifica3ons
The amplifier shall be a eight-channel model with a switch mode power-supply with power factor correc9on, smart rail management and bridgeable switch mode fixed frequency class D output circuit topology.
The amplifier shall operate from 100 V - 240 V, -10% / +10% 50/60 Hz, universal AC input power with minimum voltage for power up at 80 V and shall draw depending of each version following power:
2K8 - 412W (2.24A @ 230V) or 406W (3.61A @ 115V) when driven with pink noise signal at 1/8 of rated power into 4-ohm loads.
4K8 - 724W (3.51A @ 230V) or 729W (6.44A @ 115V) when driven with pink noise signal at 1/8 of rated power into 4-ohm loads.
8K8 -1360W (6.10A @ 230V) or 1380W (12A @ 115V) when driven with pink noise signal at 1/8 of rated power into 4-ohm loads.
The power supply of the amplifier will integrate Power Factor Correc9on (PFC), in order to minimize interference with the electrical grid.
The amplifier shall be provided with an IEC C20 main detachable connector and power cord set with IEC C20 connector on amplifier side and Schuko plug for EU, 3 pin China Plug and 3 Pin American plug on the other.
The amplifier shall have internal heat sinks cooled by a con9nuously variable speed fan with a Microprocessor Temperature Control. Air flow shall be from front to rear.
The amplifier shall be able to drive low impedance loads (2/4/8/16 Ohm) and 70V/100V distributed lines selectable per channel by speaker preset loaded. Furthermore, it shall be able to provide all the possible output configura9ons (lo-Z, hi-Z, bridge mode, parallel mode, and combina9ons of these).
In Idle mode, the amplifier shall not absorb more than 73 W @ 230V or 65W @ 115V (0.605A @ 230V or 0.707A @ 115V).
There are two Energy Saving Mode: “Standby Mode” and “Eco Mode” where power consumption is reduced respectively to 20 W and 43 W, both can be enabled and disabled by User, Standby Mode is only manual on the other hand Eco Mode is automatically activated, if not manually disabled, after 10 minutes of no signal presence in the respective amplifier matrix output.
In both cases the transition takes less than 100ms
The amplifier can be powered with PoE; depending on the power classes different opera9on can be achieved. Using PoE+ it is possible to reduce the recovery 9me from mains power loss to 0.5 seconds.
PoE++, in addi9on, enables loudspeaker system configura9on and tes9ng in case of power mains problems.
The amplifier shall contain a DSP board for real-9me audio processing not exceeding a 2.6 ms fixed latency architecture. As part of the DSP the amplifier will offer a 8 x 8 level controllable matrix for all analogue and digital inputs. Integrated in the DSP will be filters per channel offering raised-cosine, custom FIR, parametric IIR, peaking, hi/lo-shelving, all-pass, band-pass, band-stop, hi/lo-pass filters and a crossover linear phase (FIR), Buierworth, Linkwitz-Riley, Bessel: 6 dB/oct to 48 dB/oct (IIR).
For 9me alignment the DSP in the amplifier will offer Delay 2 s (input) + 100 ms (output). The limiters in the DSP will contain TruePower™, RMS voltage, RMS current and Peak limiters. Ac9ve DampingControl™ and LiveImpedance™ measurement will be part of the DSP. The internal memory of the amplifier will contain of predefined pre-sets with cross-over selngs and will allow for users pre-sets and snapshots storing. The amplifier will offer pilot tone sensing on all inputs and outputs, redundant input switch over, pilot tone back up strategy with delay compensa9on, output load monitor and output load detec9on.
The amplifier shall have front panel Display to quickly.
• read key amplifier parameters as Device name, Ip Address
• Read inputs, outputs and Network status.
• Be informed about Amplifier warnings.
• Easy swap opera9on
Using Front panel opera9on it is possible to Call&Match via Armonia the Amplifier & Mute all output channels
The amplifier shall be enabled for networking opera9on via 3 on board RJ45 giga ethernet ports, for the purpose of controlling the internal DSP and monitoring the amplifier status. Addi9onally, audio over IP expansion via Dante protocol shall be provided, with a capacity of at least 8-in x8-out channels. All the 3 ports can be configured switched, split and redundant mode. AES67 standard shall also be supported. Communica9on protocols for the amplifier’s internal DSP shall be made available for control via third-party devices of parameters including but not limited to source selec9on, matrix, mute, gain, delay, parametric EQ, remote ON/OFF, and monitoring of load impedance, amplifier status, alarms, and level metering.
The amplifier shall implement industry security communica9on protocols as HTTPS, SSH key based authen9ca9on.
The amplifier shall connect to Powersos Cloud, this feature is disabled by default and can be ac9vated by user to have access to remote monitoring and control features.
The Amplifier shall have a simple replacement procedure called “Easy Swap” giving a quick way to replace products on site. It allows system operators to simply transfer the information from one product to the other using on board procedure display guided and using included USB key.
The Amplifier shall be equipped with 14 GPIO pins on the rear panel, there are two pins for contact closure, 3 pins for Remote Standby Control, 3 pins port Remote Level Adjustment and 6 general purpose pins (GPX) that can be configured by the user to operate as 5V, ground, input pins, as well as digital outputs.
Each channel shall have DC protec9on in order to protect against infrasonic signals and very low frequencies at the output stage that could damage loudspeakers. Each channel shall have VHF protec9on in order to protect loudspeakers from strong, very high frequency signals. Each channel shall have circuitry to protect against short circuits or other stressful output circuits events. Each channel shall an independent clip limiter in order to prevent severely clipped waveforms from reaching the loudspeakers, whilst maintaining full peak power. Each channel shall have long term limiters in order to protect loudspeakers against non-musical signals such as sine waves, feedback signals etc.
The amplifier rear panel shall provide AC mains connector, Phoenix output connectors, Phoenix line input connector, Phoenix GPI connector, Phoenix GPO connector, Phoenix, 3 RJ45 Ethernet connectors, USB type A connector for Easy Swap, USB type C connector reserved for Service; Factory Reset pushbuion; RGB Status Leds
