Dynacord Unveils IX Series Power Amplifiers at ISE 2025
The Dynacord IX Series will be enhance AV and sound system integrators' installations
Dynacord, a leading manufacturer of professional audio electronics, has introduced the IX
Series at
ISE 2025. The IX Series is new range of IP-networked multi-channel DSP power amplifiers designed for
fixed installations. Engineered in Germany, the IX Series brings advanced features and
high-performance sound amplification in a compact form factor. This new lineup consists of five
models, offering 1,500, 3,000, and 6,000-watt power outputs in both 4-channel and 8-channel
configurations.
The IX Series is designed to meet the needs of AV system integrators, installers, and consultants,
offering flexibility for small to mid-sized installation projects. Suitable for various environments
such as office spaces, hospitality areas, educational institutions, performance centres, houses of
worship, and stadia, the IX Series supports both centralised and decentralised sound system
configurations.
Equipped with similar functionalities to Dynacord's flagship IPX series, the IX Series is aimed at
installations that require lower output power while maintaining high-quality performance. The
amplifiers feature Dante break-in capabilities for mic/line inputs, comprehensive DSP with a matrix
mixer, studio-quality effects, and system logic, reducing the need for external DSP processors. This
makes the IX Series a viable solution for standalone installations as well as complementary
amplification in larger projects.
Each model in the IX Series includes either four (4-channel models) or eight (8-channel models)
high-quality mic/line inputs with switchable phantom power. These inputs can also serve as Dante
break-ins with redundancy and supervision. The amplifiers support extensive routing options with
direct, mix, and amplifier output channels
The integrated DSP operates at 96 kHz resolution, incorporating a 16x16/12x12 channel matrix mixer,
FIR-Drive technology, and Dynacord's well-known studio-grade effects. The IX Series also integrates
the taskENGINE system logic, derived from the MXE5-64 open architecture DSP, allowing for
automation, scheduling, and third-party system integration.
The IX Series incorporates the same advanced supervision and protection circuits as the top-tier IPX
series, ensuring stability and reliability. Among the key technological advancements included in the
IX Series are:
-
ghostPOWER via PoE (Power over Ethernet): This feature, adapted from Dynacord's IPX and
TXG
series, allows the DSP, Dante network, and all analogue mic/line signal inputs to remain
operational even in the absence of mains power. This is particularly beneficial for
mission-critical applications.
-
ecoRAIL: A power-saving feature that significantly reduces overall power consumption,
contributing to energy efficiency and lower operational costs.
-
powerTANK: A dynamic power allocation system that provides flexible distribution of power
across amplifier channels. This allows the IX Series to deliver up to 1,000 watts per channel,
or 1,800 watts in the IX 60:4 model, as needed. This adaptability makes it possible to drive
both high- and low-impedance loads with optimal efficiency.
The IX Series is fully integrated into Dynacord's SONICUE Sound System Software ecosystem. It is
compatible with the IPX, TGX, L-Series, and C-Series amplifier lines, as well as the MXE5-64 Matrix
Mix Engine. The amplifiers work seamlessly with SONICUE peripherals such as the TPC-1 touch panel
controller and the WPN1 wall panel controller. Additionally, the upcoming SONICUE 1.5 software
release will offer full support for the IX Series.
The IX Series is designed to provide a robust and efficient amplification solution for various
professional audio applications. With its flexible DSP architecture, advanced power management
features, and seamless integration with third-party platforms such as Crestron and Q-SYS, the IX
Series delivers a high-performance, cost-effective solution for modern sound system installations.
