Powersoft

Powersoft develops professional amplification and processing in Italy. Its Unica platform is used to drive multiple parts of a large listening-bar installation.

Design & approach

Powersoft develops amplification for touring, fixed installations and other manufacturers. Its ArmoníaPlus software supports configuration and monitoring across multiple amplifiers. That combination is useful where several speaker zones need coordinated control, while the exact routing, protection and tuning remain properties of the individual installation.

Inside the system

The Main Room combines OJAS × NNNN ON2 and NNNN Gage 125 loudspeakers with McIntosh C55 control electronics, Powersoft Unica amplification and Rupert Neve Designs and Manley processing. The signal-processing equipment includes Neve MBT, P2MB and RMP-D8 units and a Manley Massive Passive stereo valve equalizer. The booth offers ARS 9900BW, 5000 and 3500LE equipment alongside an AlphaTheta euphonia mixer, Technics SL-1200G-S decks and Pioneer CDJ-3000 players. An Isonoe five-band equalizer, Benchmark DAC3 HGC and NNNN monitoring broaden its control and playback options. The Blue Room follows a separate OJAS chain: TAD loudspeakers, a Super-sub, Phonoplayer 1200G, April phono stage and April PSET 300B amplification. The contrast between the extensively processed Main Room and the dedicated valve-amplified Blue Room is a defining feature of the installation.
