Powersoft – Dynamic Music Distribution

High-quality music distribution in multi-zone / source applications

Powersoft Dynamic Music Distributionpffers System Integrators the ability to scale inputs and zones conveniently and efficiently with dynamic routing capabilities embedded in its amplifier platforms.

This makes it simpler to share music between different zones independently <br>from the source location, and to carry control signals in an automated fashion, and without the need for a centralized DSP. Multiple UI options allow easy control of the entirety of the system in dynamic music distribution applications

Many Applications. A single solution.

The different kinds of music distribution systems rely on multiple devices for controlling and routing sources to zones, and the inherited complexity of adding single-purpose links to the audio chain leads to costly and inefficient results.

Our solution is to integrate all those links and their functionalities in a single device capable of addressing different background music distribution applications that usually call for multiple discrete components.

A single solution for all types of BGM systems.

DMD system allows for a streamlined sharing of analog and digital sources across multiple amplifiers while different control options keep the system in check through dedicated controllers.

Simplified configuration and system design.

The extended signal routing and zoning options enable flawless integration and tailored control through pre-configured and easy-to-use user interfaces.

Reduced number of system components.

Powersoft’s DMD systems are inherently simpler when compared to traditional BGM solutions, yielding higher reliability levels and high-performing results while keeping costs low.

Key Features

PRIORITY INPUT

With Priority Input, a GPI can be configured to cue in a specific input in selected zones, momentarily overriding the currently active sources.

This is the perfect solution for sharing pre-recorded messages across multiple zones.

Up to 1x Priority Input per project
Analog, Dante, or AES67 (mono)
Gain adjustment
2x EQ bands

Configurable target zones
Inherit zone mute and level
WMT & WMP compatible
Activation time <1sec

AS MANY ZONES AS THE NUMBER OF CHANNELS

This feature empowers users to drive up to 4 independent zones using a single 4-channel Mezzo or Unica 4L amplifier, and up to 8 independent zones with a single 8-channel Unica 8M amplifier.

The system design workflow in ArmoníaPlus remains unvaried. Just ensure to update the firmware on your amplifier.

MONO-MIX SOURCE DANTE SHARING

This allows for more flexibility as users can free up Dante input channels on receiving amplifiers and have more unique stereo sources available for selection.

This feature only applies to systems designed around Mezzo and Unica Series. This mono-mix Dante Sharing ability is limited to sources that are physically patched to Mezzo’s and Unica’s analog inputs and shared over Dante.

Comfortable listening experience in Multizone/source music distribution.

The multizone music distribution system can be deployed in small to medium-sized installations, using a combination of UIs and install amplifiers. With the acoustic signature playing such a major role in social spaces, stores, cafés, gyms, and restaurants, this system grants the control and acoustic performances required to set the tone.

Streamlined User Experience

All critical system functions, including signal routing, volume control and mute, zoning, and scene selection can be controlled through dedicated UIs, including the WM Passive controllers, Web Views running on a tablet, the SYS Control App running on any mobile device, and the brand-new WM Touch.

WM Touch - Full control at your fingertips

As an elegant, effective, and intuitive multi-zone control tool, the brand new Powersoft Wall Mount Touch allows control of the entirety of the dynamic music distribution system from a single panel.

WM Panels

The WMP Level and WMP Select can be shared over the network, meaning that a passive wall controller can be connected to one amplifier via GPI and control the parameters of other devices in the same network.

Intuitive configuration tool

The install-dedicated skin of ArmoníaPlus offers straightforward setup and control of the system through an object-driven signal flow, which makes it simple to create zones, configure routing options, and manage scenes. It is also possible to create custom user interfaces or to select pre-defined ones to be used in conjunction with the SYS Control App, which enables control from any smartphone or compatible device. Furthermore, ArmoníaPlus will provide full access to the powerful DSP onboard our amplifiers.

SYS Control App

A dedicated app that allows users to control their system Views and to quickly load their A+ project designs to the amplifiers and external controls. The app configuration is also done in ArmoníaPlus.
