Extron announced the immediate availability of the NetPA Ultra FX Series eight and four channel configurable output audio power amplifiers with Dante connectivity and audio DSP.

According to Extron, Dante connectivity makes it easy to distribute audio from a centralized location to decentralized remote amplifiers throughout a facility, building or campus using standard network hardware.

Integrated audio DSP allows any NetPA Ultra FX amplifier to operate as a complete endpoint with dynamics processing and filters.

Extron said the amplifiers are software-configurable to support large systems with multiple speaker types simultaneously driving 8-ohm, 4-ohm, 70-volt and 100-volt loads. For maximum flexibility, the total power of two adjacent channels is shared, delivering up to 800 watts to a single channel.

NetPA Ultra FX amplifiers feature Extron InstaWake technology, allowing them to return to full power from standby in less than 50 milliseconds, ensuring no part of the audio is ever cut off.
“As soon as the XPA Ultra FX amplifiers were introduced, we started getting requests for Dante versions,” said Casey Hall, chief marketing officer for Extron. “These amplifiers provide our customers with the high-powered, networked audio solutions they need now.”
