The design also accommodates optional plug-in output transformers which can convert any of the eight channels to 70V or 100V constant voltage operation at outputs of 130W each. This model also includes DSP functionality for all 8 channels, paired with Ethernet connectivity for full control and monitoring through Armonía Pro Audio Suite software.
