iK42 Amplifier
Introduction
The iKON iK42 is an advanced 4-channel controller amplifier which combines very high power density with superb audio
performance, state-of-the-art DSP and network control for WPC systems.
The iK42 can deliver a full 5000 watts per channel into 2 ohms with all channels driven while remaining highly efficient. Its high
efficiency reduces the energy drawn from the mains supply and ensures the power reserves needed to deliver superb sound
under arduous live conditions.
Ethernet is used for system remote control and monitoring via Martin Audio's Vu-Net software application, while a user-friendly
front panel interface allows full local control of all features. Dante digital audio network inputs are also provided for digital audio
distribution and control.
Powerful DSP is fully integrated into the iK42 to provide a multitude of features that ensure maximum performance and
worldwide compatibility. It also provides up to 1000 FIR filter taps @ 48kHz on each output channel, which is essential to
implement DISPLAY's wide bandwidth optimisation process in WPC line array systems. The iK42 employs comprehensive
protection functions to maintain safe operating conditions of both the amplifier and the loudspeakers driven — including a
sophisticated loudspeaker limiter suite which incorporates peak, RMS and excursion limiting, as well as multiband limiting for
passive 2-way systems.
