XE300/XE500
IK42 AMPLIFIER
Maximum drive capability
The iK42 is a four-channel power amplifier, with the following maximum drive capacities:
•
When used with XE300s in PASSIVE mode, each amplifier channel can drive a maximum
of two monitors, meaning a total of eight monitors may be connected in four chains. Each
chain may, of course, be fed with a different mix.
•
When used with XE500s, or XE300s in BI-AMP mode, each amplifier channel can drive a
maximum of two monitors, with separate channels being used for the HF and LF inputs.
This means a total of four monitors may be connected in two chains. Each chain may, of
course, be fed with a different mix.
IK42 OPERATIONAL GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
The Martin Audio iK42/iK81 Series Advanced System Amplifier represents current state-of-the-
art technology in several areas. This product is the result of several years of research, from which
many advances in switched mode power technologies and ever finer detail in signal processing
have stemmed. Taking advantage of the latest advances in analogue to digital conversion
technologies, the unit achieves performance levels among the very best that engineering permits.
KEY FEATURES
•
Four/Eight channels of sonically pure Class D amplification
•
Very high power density - packs four channels and 20 kW or eight channels and 10 kW into
just 2U of rack space
•
Packed with robust protection and monitoring systems to keep the show going
•
External Breaker Protection (EBP) limits the current draw to prevent breakers opening
•
Martin Audio minimal signal path design
•
Class leading sonic performance achieved by the use of state of the art Amplifier technologies
and highly advanced DSP algorithms using Linea Micro Detail (LMD)
•
96 kHz sampling frequency provides for a nominally flat response beyond 40 kHz
•
Rotary encoders, illuminated buttons and graphical display provide a rapid, intuitive and
user-friendly control interface
•
High speed Ethernet communications supporting DHCP, static-IP and auto-IP, and direct
connection to a computer without the need for a router or a switch
•
Powerful Drive Module concept, abstraction from device-centric to speaker-based control
•
Innovative Component Presets to allow individual outputs to be used for selected drivers of
a loudspeaker system
•
Twelve layers of Parameter Overlays for trouble-free Grouping
•
Unique VX limiter providing dynamic control for passive 2-way enclosures
•
Unique LIR linear phase crossover shapes giving FIR-like performance without the drawbacks
