LINEA Research 88 C10 Dante 8-Channel DSP Power Amplifier
Product Overview
The LINEA Research 88 C10 Dante is a high-performance eight-channel DSP installation power amplifier designed for demanding commercial, hospitality, entertainment, corporate AV, and professional sound reinforcement applications. Delivering 1,250W RMS per channel at 4 Ohms and 100V, the 88 C10 Dante provides substantial multi-channel power in a compact 2U rackmount format.
Combining Linea Research's high-performance Class-D amplification technology with advanced 96kHz DSP, the 88 C10 Dante provides eight independently controlled amplifier channels suitable for low-impedance loudspeakers and 70V/100V constant-voltage distributed audio systems. All eight channels can deliver their full rated power simultaneously with continuous program material.
The integrated DSP provides extensive signal routing, equalisation, crossover filtering, delay, phase control, FIR processing, and advanced VX loudspeaker protection. The Dante-enabled architecture provides network audio connectivity alongside analogue and AES3 inputs, while Ethernet, RS232, and RS485 interfaces enable system configuration, monitoring, and control using Linea Research System Engineer software.
