With the release of the latest version of Armonia Pro Audio Suite 2.7.0, Powersoft’s
proprietary digital signage monitoring and processing software, the company has
unleashed further major features and DSP power in its continually evolving
roadmap.
The update, now available for download, includes the new speaker preset v2 (.spk2)
file format; this file can be copied directly onto X Series amplifiers with a USB
stick, to be recalled later on desired channels via the WebApp interface.
X Series and Ottocanali DSP+D amplifiers are now able to act as totally
configurable Dante sources, with the option to stream out eight processed or
unprocessed signals. Standalone analog to Dante converters are therefore no longer
necessary in complex installations, and direct monitoring of the DSP processing can
be easily achieved in third party measurement software such as Smaart v7.
A higher degree of loudspeaker supervision is achievable with the new Live
Impedance curve, calculated in real-time and storable/displayable against a
reference curve in the new spk2 preset files.
New RMS and Peak limiters with side chain Frequency-Shaping are now available on
X and Ottocanali DSP+D Series, allowing an even greater level of protection and
performance. Frequency-Shaping, in conjunction with Live Impedance monitoring, is
an irresistible combination, which safely pushes the speakers even further in terms
of overall SPL.
In fact the entire communication protocol has been completely rewritten to achieve
better performance. Thousands of parameters are now sent in a fraction of a
second, allowing for lightning fast operation with X and Ottocanali DSP+D Series
devices. In conjunction with the latest firmware the response to Advanced Groups
raised cosine equalization is faster than ever, and most importantly synchronized
across on all channels.
In addition to X Series and Ottocanali, the new Armonia release is also designed to
offer improved functionality for the M-Drive and DSP 4 + IPALMOD models.
Alongside the new release of Armonia Pro Audio Suite 2.7.0, Powersoft has provided
full online assistance for Armonia users. This is a useful, fully-accessible tool
enabling issues to be solved in any circumstances.
The new release of Armonia Pro Audio Suite 2.7.0 also coincides with the new
official firmware for the X Series platform and Ottocanali DSP+D amplifiers.
The Armonia release is available to download on the Powersoft Armonia Forum
together with the Ottocanali firmware. Otherwise, the new X Series firmware is
available to download into the new forum designed exclusively for users of the new
X Series.
Besides firmware updates, inside the forum it will be possible to access direct
support from Powersoft engineers, discuss ideas and requests for new features,
exchange customized speaker presets with other users and be kept up-to-date on
all new developments regarding X Series amplifiers.
