End of Life Products – DUECANALI 5204 DSP

2-Channel Power Amplifier

Overview

The Powersoft Duecanali 5204 is a professional power amplifier designed to meet the most stringent requirements of professional fixed installations. Designed by the Powersoft R&D team the Duecanali 5204 is exclusively built in Italy with internal components selected for premium quality and proven durability. Each modular subassembly is pre-tested, and the assembled Duecanali 3904 receives a rigorous 48 hours burn-in before through final check-out on precision test equipment for total quality control. The Duecanali 5204 incorporates the legendary patented Powersoft universal switching mode power supply up to 400VAC tolerant with Power Factor Correction providing users with worldwide AC acceptance and low consumption. Powersoft bridgeable switch mode fixed frequency class D patented outputs provide high-quality sound, excellent damping factor, and cooler circuits for stable performances over time and longer amplifier life. LCD display with a lockable user menu for easy control of all amplifier settings. Auxiliary inputs, triggered by 24V command input for alarm and pre-recorded emergency messages. Output relay for each amplifier channel for reporting single channel fault conditions.
Optional DSP provides to Duecanali 5204 DSP+AESOP full high-quality onboard sound processing. Sensing and communication board, standard on RS485 bus, Ethernet optional, provides full control and monitoring through ArmoníaPlus, compatible with all other Powersoft K, M, D, Q, and Ottocanali Series amplifiers. Interface available for MediaMatrix, Crestron, AMX, Q-SYS control, and monitoring systems. The Duecanali 5204 is able to drive 70V/100V lines without external transformers. Output voltage limiters should be applied, and depending on the speakers being used a high pass filter may be necessary.

Power supply

  • Powersoft legendary universal switch mode power supply up to 400VAC tolerant with Power Factor Correction
  • Patented output filter with ripple cancellation network
  • Low Inrush Limiting reduces AC inrush current, removing the need for expensive power sequencers
  • Detachable AC mains cable with IEC C19/22.2 (16A for EU, 20 A for USA) socket

Protections

  • Ac protection: shut down power supply when AC mains voltage is outside operating range
  • Clip limiter: prevents severely clipped waveforms from reaching loudspeakers, while still maintaining full peak power output
  • DC protection: protects against infrasonic signal at the outputs
  • VHF protections: protects the loudspeakers against non audible, strong, non musical high frequency signals
  • Short circuit protection: protects the amplifier from short circuit or other stressful events for the output circuits with automatic protection reset
  • Long term limiter: protects the loudspeaker against steady long term rms (non audio) signals reducing maximum output
  • Thermal protection: output stages operating temperature up to 80 °C (176 °F)
  • Temperature controlled continous variable speed fan, front to back airflow
  • Temperature forecast with LCD traced historical behaviour

General

  • Fixed frequency switchmode output stage for high grade sound accuracy
  • Compact size – all models only 1 RU for reduced rack cost and space
  • Light weight – for easier racking and shipping: 8 kg (17.6 lbs)
  • Standard Phoenix connectors: analog and digital input, audio outputs, aux supply, alarms and GPIO
  • Remotely switchable double input (main and aux) per channel

Settings

  • LCD matrix interactive display
  • Comprehensive-user friendly front panel display menu
  • Built-in defeatable clip limiters for each channel
  • Digital gain-attenuator control
  • Defeatable gate selection for each channel
  • User selectable gain/sensitivity
  • User selectable maximum output power for each channel
  • User selectable maximum mains current draw
  • Lockable set-up by user selectable access key code
  • Built in remote control via the RS-485 interface provides full diagnostic, operational setting and system monitoring

Monitoring

  • Hardware monitor available for fast local diagnostic
  • Load impedance measurement / display for each channel
  • Output power measurements / display for each channel
  • Mains voltage and current measurements / display
  • Downloadable log file of functional fault events with time related trace
  • Smart Card settings, parameters and upgrades functionality

Digital Signal Processing

  • Analog Devices SHARC® DSP architecture
  • AD/DA converter: dual 24bit @ 96 kHz Tandem® architecture, 127 dB dynamic range, per channel
  • Input/output independent equalizers per channel providing PEQ, raised cosine, shelving IIR filters as well as custom output FIR filters
  • Delay up to 1 s for time alignment
  • Active DampingControl™ for cable compensation
  • Power limiter (TruePower™, RMS voltage, RMS current) + Peak Limiter
