N8000

NetMax Digital Matrix Controller

The EV NetMax N8000 is an extremely flexible audio control processor for a wide range of applications. Presented in a compact 2RU configuration, you can configure the N8000 a number of ways to fit the need at hand. By simply selecting the right combination of I/O cards, the N8000 matrix can be configured IN THE FIELD to one of 6 matrix layouts. In addition, up to a full 32 channels of digital audio are available when you add CobraNet™ functionality to any of these configurations for extended flexibility.

Superior Audio Performance

The N8000 provides the same legendary audio dynamic range as our amplifiers and signal processors. Superior A/D and D/A conversion technology and wideband electronics ensure that the NetMax N8000 will be transparent in the audio chain.

Easy Interface To The Outside World

The N8000 can be configured from the web, an Ethernet connection using IRIS-Net, an RS-232 interface or a common USB link. In addition, the N8000 can talk through its integrated CAN bus with any compatible IRIS-Net hardware such as the Electro-Voice remote control amplifier series. For even more flexibility the N8000 comes equipped with a GPIO network so it can control and be controlled through simple logic signals and contact closures.

TG5
Tour Grade amplifiers have a microprocessor controlled operation management system that provides useful features such as compound thermal management (preventing amps from switching off in excessive thermal environment) and automatic mains voltage detection. Tour Grade amplifiers use a grounded bridge 2-step class-H topology to ensure the highest acoustic performance and reliability. The TG Series also offers the power and transient response to drive subwoofers along with the low distortion for critical HF signals. The high capacity switchmode power supply provides the headroom needed to ensure high dynamic outputs and reliable operation on extreme low loads.
