PoweRack V.1i is a professional amplifier rack system designed for both temporary and fixed installation applications, where high power delivery, system integration, and operational reliability are essential. It is supplied as a complete installation-ready solution housed in a rugged, vibration-free flightcase, integrating two Powersoft™ X8 amplifiers, the AC Mains & Signals Patch, and the PowerPatch distribution system.

The system delivers high-performance amplification across 16 output channels, providing up to 5,200 W RMS at 2 Ω (175 V peak), ensuring ample headroom for demanding professional audio installations. Two Ethernet network ports enable full remote control and monitoring of the onboard amplifiers via the Armonia Pro Audio management software, allowing precise configuration and system supervision.

PoweRack V.1i supports both analog and digital audio signal management. The amplifier platform includes optional Dante™ network integration, enabling transmission and reception of high-quality, uncompressed digital audio over standard IP networks with near-zero latency. Dante connectivity is fully implemented via Cat5e (or higher) infrastructure, ensuring robust and scalable digital audio distribution.

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 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 ports for signal distribution and network control.

System management is fully integrated via Ethernet connectivity, enabling remote operation through the Armonia Pro Audio management platform for real-time monitoring, configuration, and control of all amplifier parameters.

The PowerPatch module consolidates all 16 amplifier output channels into four main sections (A, B, C, and D), each equipped with one NL8 main output and two NL4 auxiliary outputs. This architecture allows flexible loudspeaker routing for complex installation configurations, including multi-way systems and distributed audio networks. PowerPatch is designed to efficiently connect, manage, and distribute power to the Loud Professional loudspeaker ecosystem, ensuring maximum flexibility in any system configuration.

A comprehensive range of accessories and installation toolkits is available, including SpeakON and LK cabling systems, NL4/NL8 adapters, and splitter solutions, ensuring optimal wiring configurations for any installation requirement. The rack system features front and rear sliding doors, providing immediate access to all input, output, and control sections for simplified setup and maintenance. Multiple units can be stacked for scalable system expansion.

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