LINEA Research 88 C6 8-Channel DSP Power Amplifier
Product Overview
The LINEA Research 88 C6 is a professional eight-channel DSP power amplifier designed specifically for demanding commercial, entertainment, hospitality, corporate AV, and distributed sound reinforcement installations. Delivering 750W RMS per channel at 4 Ohms and 100V with all eight channels driven, the 88 C6 combines high power density with sophisticated digital signal processing and comprehensive system control.
Featuring eight channels of high-performance Class-D amplification, the 88 C6 can deliver its full rated power into 2, 4, or 8 Ohm loudspeaker loads as well as 25V, 70V, and 100V constant-voltage systems. This makes it particularly well suited to multi-zone installations where different loudspeaker types and distributed audio systems need to be powered from a single amplifier.
The integrated 96kHz DSP provides extensive signal routing, equalisation, crossover, delay, phase control, FIR processing, and advanced VX loudspeaker protection. Ethernet, RS232, and RS485 connectivity provide system control and monitoring, while analogue and AES3 audio inputs are standard. Dante and AES67 network audio connectivity is available as a factory-fitted option.
