The Exigo Network Amplifier is designed for use in marine, offshore and other demanding environments. The amplifier utilizes state-of-the-art class D amplifier technology to ensure high power efficiency and superb audio quality for two audio channels which can be loaded with up to 100W each.
The Exigo Network Amplifier is part of the Exigo PA/GA system, which is based on standard Ethernet network and digital processing. Each amplifier has two network connections, allowing for redundant cabling between the amplifier and the network. Using standard network equipment also allows for a much wider selection of standard network equipment. The amplifier is also compatible with the Alphacom platform, allowing for advanced communication systems with both intercoms and PA.
The complete amplifier is self-monitoring and this includes advanced monitoring of the speaker lines and internal system. The audio output channels can be monitored for line faults such as shorts, ground faults and large load changes. In addition, up to 10 intelligent Line End Transponders (ELTSI) can be placed on the speaker lines for additional accuracy in the line monitoring. The amplifier also monitors control inputs, power supplies, temperature, network connections and every other components required for operation of essential services. Faults will be reported to the system controller, but will also be indicated locally on the amplifier.
The amplifier’s configurable control inputs/outputs and audio inputs can be used to trigger various activities in the system. The audio line input can also be configured in a “hardware bypass” mode where audio on the line input will be forwarded to the 100V channels directly, even when no server is available. This allows for additional redundancy and functions to be built around this amplifier.
