PoweRack V.1 is a professional touring amplifier rack system designed for high-demand live sound applications where reliability, power distribution efficiency, and system integration are essential. It is supplied as a complete touring-ready solution housed in a rugged, vibration-free flightcase, integrating two Powersoft™ X8 amplifiers, the AC Mains & Signals Patch, and the PowerPatch output distribution system.

The system delivers high-power performance across 16 amplifier output channels, capable of providing up to 5,200 W RMS at 2 Ω (175 V peak), ensuring sufficient headroom for large-scale professional audio systems. Two Ethernet network ports allow full remote control and monitoring of the onboard amplifiers via the Armonia Pro Audio management software, enabling precise system configuration and real-time control.

PoweRack V.1 supports both analog and digital audio signal management. The amplifier platform includes support for an optional Dante™ interface, enabling transmission of high-quality, uncompressed digital audio over standard IP networks with near-zero latency. Dante connectivity is implemented via Cat5e (or higher) cabling, ensuring robust and scalable digital audio networking.

The AC Mains & Signals Patch module provides a 32 A three-phase power input system, featuring one main input and one link output for cascading power to additional racks. Audio signal connectivity includes AES/EBU digital inputs via two XLR3 connectors, each carrying two audio channels with link-out capability, as well as two analog inputs and two EtherCON network ports for system control and signal distribution.

The PowerPatch module provides structured loudspeaker output distribution for all 16 amplifier channels, organized into four main sections (A, B, C, and D). Each section includes one NL8 main output and two NL4 auxiliary outputs, enabling flexible routing for multi-channel systems, including bi-amplified configurations and multi-cabinet deployments. This architecture ensures efficient signal routing and scalable system integration across a wide range of professional applications.

A comprehensive ecosystem of accessories and cabling solutions is available, including SpeakON and LK connectors, NL4/NL8 adapters, and splitter systems, allowing optimized wiring configurations for any deployment scenario. The rack system features front and rear sliding doors, providing immediate access to input, output, and control sections for fast setup and maintenance. Multiple racks can be stacked for scalable system expansion.

The PoweRack series also includes the V.2 version, featuring a single onboard X8 amplifier while maintaining the same integrated power distribution, signal management, and connectivity infrastructure.
