A Brilliant Fusion of Leading Yamaha Power, DSP and Networking Technologies


Back

Yamaha has announced that it will further extend its line up of power amplifiers with the introduction of the new flagship TXn series amplifiers. The TXn series consists of three models, TX6n, TX5n and TX4n, varying in output power.

For more than 30 years Yamaha has been delivering top-quality power for professional audio applications. Current flagship Tn series amplifiers achieved new heights in sonic quality, and truly reliable two ohm drive capability. Now, the TXn series amplifiers deliver these qualities together with several industry-leading Yamaha technologies for the ultimate in power, processing, and networking performance.

Three new high-power amplifiers – The TX4n at 2,200 watts, the TX5n at 2,500 watts, and the TX6n at 3,000 watts per channel into 2 ohms, offer sophisticated onboard DSP, an area in which Yamaha quality is legend. All three TXn models incorporate a sophisticated 24-bit 96-kHz DSP engine that affords an extraordinary range of control and processing capabilities. In addition to basic amplifier control and status monitoring, there is enough DSP power built in to provide extensive speaker processing capabilities that will make external equalizers, delays and speaker processors unnecessary in most applications.

All models feature both analog and direct digital inputs, with automatic failsafe redundancy switching between digital and analog input. The input configuration can be changed as required using optional plug-in Yamaha mini-YGDAI interface cards. By replacing the standard AES/EBU I/O card, these advanced amplifiers are fully compatible with CobraNet or EtherSound audio networks, as well as any other formats supported by mini-YGDAI interface cards.

Even when the standard I/O interface is used, the built-in Ethernet port can be connected to a computer running Yamaha’s NetworkAmp Manager II software for comprehensive remote control and monitoring of individual amplifiers or groups in an intuitive user interface. The software runs on Windows based computers, and requires no special drivers.
