Multichannel Amplifier

The Bose PowerMatch PM8250N professional power amplifier delivers concert-worthy sound quality with high scalability and configurability for fixed-installation sound reinforcement systems. Using QuadBridge technology, the four available channels can be configured in Mono, V-Bridge, I-Share or Quad mode, allowing the amplifier's total available power to be allocated to one or more output channels.

The Bose PowerMatch PM8250N professional power amplifier represents a major advancement in audio amplification for fixed installations. With its QuadBridge technology, it offers unparalleled versatility, allowing users to configure the four available channels in mono, V-Bridge, I-Share or Quad mode, depending on the specific needs of their audio system. This allows precise allocation of available power to meet the requirements of each situation, whether for low impedance or 70/100V applications.

The PowerMatch PM8250N amplifier is equipped with Bose Professional ControlSpace Designer technology, which greatly simplifies the setup process. With a front USB connection or rear Ethernet connection, users can access a wide range of advanced features, including parametric EQ stages, load scanning for each output channel and a boost function. in automatic standby.

Additionally, the PowerMatch PM8250N amplifier incorporates a dual voltage and current feedback loop, a Bose proprietary design, which continuously monitors and controls both the current and voltage delivered to the speaker load. Regardless of power level and load impedance, the amplifier provides maximum dynamic range, extended frequency response and minimal distortion.

Using its PeakBank power supply, the PowerMatch PM8250N amplifier delivers high power density while reusing energy from reactive loads, typically wasted in conventional Class-D designs. This highly efficient amplifier design ensures a durable and repeatable low frequency response.

The amplifier also features fast-response active power factor correction (PFC), which effectively manages current drawn from the mains, allowing the amplifier to drive the speakers at their maximum power for longer without power fluctuation. This feature ensures superior transient response, satisfying the requirements of even the most demanding program hardware.
