Danish audio manufacturer MTI showed its new 8 x 1000W/per channel power amp - the MP 82000. All that in a 3U rack, thanks to digital electronics and switch mode PSU. With built-in speaker control via laptop (up to 16 amps daisy-chained on RS485) each amp has a number of customer programmable presets, including speaker type, load etc. Full matrixing, any in to any out, six-band parametric, filters, look ahead limiting, and crossover - it's all there. Peak limit system in the analogue domain through laser trimmed VCA, gives zero compression, "keeping volume flat, any kind of distortion only comes through as even harmonics," the company said.
