AudioControl is now shipping three highly versatile CM Series amplifiers, winner of several prestigious awards for design, innovation and performance including the 2021 CEDIA Best New Hardware award. AudioControl will showcase its full lineup of multizone entertainment and cinema products at the 2022 ISE show in Barcelona at the Fira Barcelona – Gran Via from May 10 to 13, stand 2Q400.
The AudioControl CM Series amplifiers utilize a sophisticated Constant Power Mode architecture featuring GaN (Gallium Nitride) semiconductors—a circuit engineered by AudioControl to deliver more output power, greater efficiency and higher levels of sound quality for 70-volt solutions. CM Series amplifiers complement to AudioControl’s 4/8-Ohm Architect and Director Series amplifiers.
“The performance we have been able to achieve from the CM Series 70-volt amplifier platform is nothing short of astonishing,” explains AudioControl CEO Alex Camara.
“These amps have redefined the value proposition for integrators seeking to deliver best solutions across a vast range of projects. We are thrilled to be able to showcase these amplifiers to ISE attendees in Barcelona.”
CM Series amplifiers feature optional Dante digital audio networking capability (Dante option available beginning Q1, 2022) along with the flexibility of both 70-volt and 4/8-Ohm (Dual-Mode) compatibility. These amplifiers are suited for commercial and residential A/V installations, delivering best-in-class audio performance, legendary build quality, channel matrixing and a powerful, intuitive DSP engine. The features and performance of CM Series amplifiers enable integrators to tailor the sound by zone to any environment—from houses of worship, boardrooms, hospitality, collaboration suites and more. CM Series amplifiers are compatible with popular smart home platforms such as Crestron, RTi and Control4, enabling control of Dante signal routing as well as volume up/down and power on/off by zone. There are three available channel configurations for the CM Series amplifiers:
· CM4-750—4-Channel high-power Dual-Mode DSP-enabled amplifier
· CM3-750—3-Channel high-power Dual-Mode DSP-enabled amplifier
· CM2-750—2-Channel high-power Dual-Mode DSP-enabled amplifier
Each amplifier utilizes a highly sophisticated Constant Power Mode architecture that delivers 750-watts per channel in 70-volt mode or 625-watts per channel at 8, 6 or 4-ohms along with stability into 2-ohms. CM Series amplifiers also deliver 1500-watts bridged in 100-volt mode and 1250-watts bridged into an 8-ohm load. The CM Series Dual-Mode design can simultaneously operate in 70-volt mode while also driving a conventional loudspeaker. Each model offers eight analog inputs (two analog inputs can be set to accommodate a microphone) plus two digital audio inputs (coax and optical). The amplified outputs of each CM Series model can be individually controlled as mono outputs or controlled as stereo pairs, giving integrators the system configuration flexibility, they need to accommodate any system architecture.
