\nThere are eight<\/strong> models of amplifiers, each with different power and connectivity options, which form the new Mezzo line<\/a>,<\/strong> launched by Powersoft<\/strong><\/a> at the latest InfoComm<\/strong>, in Orlando, Florida.<\/strong> Suitable for corporate, hospitality and educational environments, Mezzo<\/strong><\/a> is a Class D self-configuring amplifier system<\/strong>, very versatile and easy to use.
\nFurthermore, the products of Mezzo line<\/strong><\/a> are simple to configure and can be remotely managed.
\nThe eight available models in the new Mezzo line<\/strong><\/a> consist of four power sizes, each offering an option with \u201cA\u201d (Analog)<\/strong> or \u201cAD\u201d (Analog-Digital),<\/strong> which adds Dante\/AES67.<\/strong> The power sizes include smaller option of 320W<\/strong> in 4 x<\/strong> 80W<\/strong> and 2 x 160W<\/strong> variants, and a larger option of 600W in 4 x 150<\/strong> or 2 x 300W<\/strong>. All of the eight models are networkable and feature automatic setup for audio parameters, significantly reducing deployment time during installation. Further, all of the units offer load monitoring, so users can monitor system parameters such as temperature, power usage and performance over time.
\nThe AD models<\/strong> include Dante<\/strong> and AES67 integration,<\/strong> and also add an internal Gigabit Ethernet switch<\/strong> and a second port, meaning that multiple products can share the same network cable. This feature can convenient in a retrofit, or if the user needs to share a network connection between a projector and an amplifier for instance.
\nMezzo<\/strong><\/a> also features equally impressive installation options. Each unit comes with rack mount accessories to fit two units<\/strong> into a standard 19\u201d<\/strong> rack, or 1 unit<\/strong> in a 11\u201d<\/strong> compact rack.
\n
\nAlternatively, the unit can stand alone on rubber feet in a credenza or be mounted on the wall \u2014 for instance behind a video screen. The unit is ultra-quiet and requires no ventilation and can therefore be used in dusty environments, under a desk or in locations where an audio closet may not available. Further, in terms of performance, Mezzo also delivers enough power to drive many subwoofers. This potentially means a significant space savings in locations that will no longer require 19\u201d<\/strong> racks.
\n\u201cMany fixed installation environments these days consist of both analog and digital\u201d, said Marc Kocks, Powersoft<\/a>\u2019s Business Development Manager<\/strong>. \u201cMezzo<\/strong><\/a> is perfect for these environments, since it can accommodate inputs on both analog and digital. Further, each Mezzo<\/strong><\/a> can be set up as a decentralized unit, enabling each unit to be part of a larger system with local feeds from Dante<\/strong> network. This can lead to massive cost savings in cabling expenses as well as significantly increased monitoring and control functionality. A user can retain full control over features as if it was a centralized rig.\u201d
