11 : 1.Armonía Pro Audio Suite
Armonía Pro Audio Suite™ has been specifically de-
signed to be used with k Series amplifiers as an easy to
use configuring interface that allows system setting and
customization.
armonía can be installed on a pc running Windows (Xp
Sp3 and higher). Download armonía pro audio Suite from
the armonía forum:

communication between the software and the ampli-
fier is established via an rS-485 or Ethernet connection,
depending on the available ports on the units.
armonía provides control and monitoring of a wide range
of amplifier functions, such as attenuation, mute, internal
temperature and voltage rail monitoring.
On k Series equiped with the kDSp board armonía of-
fers full control on all signal processing features, including
input and output equalization, alignment delays, Fir filters
and load impedance monitoring, etc.
armonía is scalable: it allows control of a single
powersoft amplifier or a very large system containing many
amplifiers. For large fixed or touring installations, armonía
gives the operator the ability to monitor and control all am-
plifiers in the system from a single location, regardless of
the amplifiers’ positions.
This software has been designed to accept software
plug-ins to enable third-party product control.
11 : 1.1. Networking
powersoft amplifiers can connect to a pc running
armonía in two ways: with an rS-485 serial connection or
via Ethernet.
Systems employing both categories of amplifiers may
use both methods simultaneously: an Ethernet network be-
ing implemented for some amplifiers, and rS-485 for the
others (bear in mind that Ethernet is a faster communica-
tions protocol than serial rS-485).
The range of network topologies which can be used in
wiring a real system varies between the two communica-
tions methods.
Ethernet provides a slightly greater degree of freedom,
as standard iT network switches may be used to create
multiple hub systems as well as a single hub and linear
daisy-chaining. a looped Ethernet topology is also per-
missible, which will provide redundancy in the event of a
network failure.
an amplifier system using an rS-485 network can
either be daisy-chained throughout or use the powersoft
powerHub as a local switch.
11 : 2.Third party software
The k Series provides plug-ins for different third party
control software.
Developed for powersoft by independent consultants
specialized in systems integration designs, these plug-ins
provide monitoring and control of k Series amplifiers when
integrated in proprietary network environment, such as:
f f
Q-Sys™ : it provides integrated monitoring and control
of powersoft k Series and Duecanali Series amplifiers
through a qSc q-Sys system.
f f Crestron
®
macros : it provides integrated monitoring
and control of powersoft amplifiers through a crestron
control system. These macros allow you to expand
the flexibility of powersoft’s products in audio video
integrated Systems.
f f AMX
®
module : it provides aV system integrators with
an interface control solution to take full advantage of
the performance and flexibility of powersoft’s products
in fixed install applications.
f f MediaMatrix
®
NWare™ : it provides integrated moni-
toring and control of powersoft k Series.
powersoft’s armonía pro audio Suite™ software will be
required for initial setup and management of the amplifiers.
