EAW Announces New UXA4416 DSP Amplifiers
The UXA4416 DSP Amplifiers from Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW) represents the brand's four-channel DSP
amplifiers equipped with high-power class D amplifiers, innovative processing and analog/digital
audio management
Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW) debuted UXA4416 Amplifiers along with a companion update
to its
Resolution software. UXA4416 represents a new generation of EAW four-channel DSP amplifiers,
offering high-power class D amplification, innovative processing and analog/digital audio
management. Pairing seamlessly with the brand's KF & SB Series products, these new amps ensure
stability and continuity for KF passive line source systems deployed at stadiums, arenas, houses of
worship, amphitheatres, outdoor festivals and more.
"Through the creation of our own line of amplifiers, we are unifying all EAW system packages," says
TJ Smith, president of EAW. "Our ongoing strategy makes cross rental more predictable and
reliable
by deploying products that are optimized by EAW engineering."
This next generation of amplifiers provides clean, robust power to all EAW passive loudspeaker
systems. Now operating at 96Khz, the amps improve system interoperability and offer reduced latency
compared to previous UX & UXA products, which can be vital for live performance applications. In
addition, 4 x 4000W Class D amplification and 40-bit floating point DSP ensure powerful, high
headroom audio capabilities for systems of any scale.
UXA4416 amplifier presets unify the performance of all supported EAW professional speakers and
arrayed systems with four processed channels of audio amplification, complete with a dedicated
Greybox preset library. A front panel addressable 4.3-inch display offers an easy touch screen or
tactile encoder access to the EAW library and editing. EAW factory presets utilize EAW's Beamwidth
Matched Crossover, Focusing and DynO technologies. The result being a highly refined system impulse
response and enhanced power delivery to a chosen speaker system. Resolution software provides a path
to remote management and amplifier grouping of an entire EAW speaker ecosystem.
UXA4416 amplifiers are engineered to last for years while providing high-quality performance for a
wide variety of uses. Prioritizing versatility, UXA4416 offers both analog and digital audio inputs,
with configurable General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) and Dante connections available for digital
network input options.
The Resolution 2.11 update is a companion release that provides support for UXA4416. It also
contains improvements to the software's GUI and Array Assistant, a more efficient RSX/NTX firmware
upgrade procedure, and updated KF210 Voicing. An updated version of AC6 Firmware is also available.
