Product Information
UnicaTM 4-Channel Cloud Based Amplifier Platform
The UnicaTM Series is a compact, 1RU amplifier platform designed for installed
applications. It features 4 output channels with 9kW, 12kW, and 16kW total
power models, offering high power density. The amplifier can drive Lo-Z and
70/100V lines seamlessly, delivering up to 5200W @ 4 ohms for the 16kW model.
It operates worldwide (100-240VAC) with single-stage power factor correction
(PFC) and Smart Rails Management (SRM) for efficient power supply adaptation.
The platform includes Powersoft’s next-generation DSP for advanced processing
and audio performance. It supports various network topologies with 1Gb
Ethernet ports, DanteTM, and AES67 compatibility. The front panel display
provides local monitoring, while PoE input ensures quick recovery during mains
loss and continuous loudspeaker testing without mains power. Cloud
connectivity via UniversoTM enables remote monitoring and control from any
device worldwide.

INTRODUCTION
4-Channel Cloud Based Amplifier Platform
The UnicaTM Series is a compact, 1RU amplifier platform developed primarily
for installed applications. The 4-channel version includes 9kW, 12kW, and 16kW
total power models, making UnicaTM one of the most power-dense solutions
available. The output channels can drive Lo-Z and 70/100V lines seamlessly,
delivering up to 5200W @ 4Ω for the 16kW model, when asymmetrically loaded.
The power supply allows worldwide operation (100-240VAC), and it is equipped
with the latest generation of single-stage power factor correction (PFC). The
proprietary Smart Rails Management (SRM) allows the supply rails to adapt in
real time to the required output voltage to maximize efficiency and reduce
idle losses.
UnicaTM platform features Powersoft’s next-generation DSP for state-of-the-art
processing and audio performance. The three 1Gb Ethernet ports, along with the
native DanteTM and AES67 support allow for different network topologies
including daisy-chain and DanteTM redundant.
The front panel display allows quick access to the amplifier operating status
information for local monitoring. The PoE (Power over Ethernet) input allows
for short recovery time in case of mains loss, as well as testing and
monitoring loudspeakers 24/7 without the need for mains power.
Lastly, UnicaTM Series amplifiers natively support cloud connectivity for
remote monitoring and control from any device anywhere in the world via
UniversoTM, the Powersoft cloud platform interface.
- Medium to large-scale venues
- Main systems, central or distributed, subwoofers, hi-Z/lo-Z
- Mission critical applications
- Theatres, performance venues
- Houses of worship
- Convention centres
- Business centres
- Cruise ships
8-Channel Cloud Based Amplifier Platform
The UnicaTM Series is a compact, 1RU amplifier platform developed primarily
for installed applications. The 8-channel version includes 2kW, 4kW, and 8kW
total power models, making UnicaTM one of the most power-dense solutions
available.
The output channels can drive Lo-Z and 70/100V lines seamlessly, delivering up
to twice the rated power when asymmetrically loaded, resulting in 2000W @4Ω
for the 8kW model. The power supply allows worldwide operation (100-240VAC),
and it is equipped with the latest generation of single-stage power factor
correction (PFC). The proprietary Smart Rails Management (SRM) allows the
supply rails to adapt in real time to the required output voltage to maximize
efficiency and reduce idle losses.
