Spain - Powersoft has launched Nota, a versatile, ultra-compact PoE/PoE+ amplifier designed to meet the varied needs of AV system integrators and integrate seamlessly into a diverse range of networked audio environments.
Nota was unveiled at ISE 2025 by Claudio Lastrucci, Powersoft co-founder and R&D director. Nota joins Powersoft’s growing portfolio of high-end audio solutions for the fixed-installation market, which also includes the cloud-based Unica amplifier platform and the compact Mezzo series, among others.
Nota provides 140W of power across two channels in a pocked-sized footprint, making it a suitable solution for commercial, conferencing and retrofit installations. Its ability to transmit power and data via a single Ethernet connection streamlines installation, reducing costs and minimising wiring complexity – meaning it is also well suited to IT integrators without in-depth technical knowledge.
Nota’s headline features include on-board DSP capabilities, speaker health monitoring and full control via both Powersoft’s ArmoníaPlus software and third-party APIs. The amplifier’s USB-C connectivity allows easy integration with external multimedia devices, doubling as a USB-to-AES67 converter for enhanced system flexibility, while its automated setup matches the impedance curve of connected speakers and applies a high-pass filter – optimising sound quality and protecting speakers from potential damage by ensuring efficient power transfer.
“With Nota, we set out to create a versatile amplifier that could expand existing systems by integrating seamlessly with networked installations, while also enabling the easy and cost-effective creation of new systems, regardless of your level of expertise,” explains Claudio Lastrucci. “By offering streamlined setup, modularity, flexibility and efficient operation in an ultra-compact form factor, Nota is a significant breakthrough for integrators working in environments where space is at a premium.”
ISE 2025 was the first event in a year-long celebration of Powersoft’s 30th-anniversary year.
