AVAILABLE TO ORDER

Introducing the ampnode4LS, the next step of our amplifier evolution designed with mission critical applications at its core. This advanced amplifier offers a robust 4x500W of audio output provided by redundant power supplies and is also equipped with spare-amplifier channel switching to ensure continuous, reliable performance under any circumstances. The ampnode4LS features our new auxilliary bus connectivity for connecting low-cost mic stations and controllers, further expanding its versatility in complex audio setups.

Built on the nnounce™ secure and scalable audio platform, the ampnode4LS benefits from continuous feature enhancements and security updates that safeguard against emerging IT threats. With built in signal processing the ampnode4LS sets a new standard in secure, powerful, and reliable audio amplification solutions.

  • Delivers 4 channels each at 500W in 1U form factor

  • Built for applications requiring high-availability and redundancy

  • Unique self-backup feature enabling 1:3 redundancy without extra amplifiers

  • Phantom-power capable audio inputs capable of powering high quality ambient noise sensing microphones

  • Built-in powerful audio processing

  • Keep audio streams private by adding encryption to industry standard audio protocols such as AES67

  • Trust your audio devices following latest IT and physical security standards

  • Securely connect your infrastructure to cloud systems

Bridging the Gap Between Sound and Vision

While nnounce devices are fully integratable with other PA ecosystems, such as Q-SYS, their true power emerges when perfectly paired with Simpleway’s digital signage and public address cloud software, creating a uniquely cohesive and effective communication experience.

Retail, hospitality, educational, healthcare sectors, warehouses, company campuses, and more can adopt the nnounce platform with Enterprise CX system, meeting diverse communication needs and empowering synchronized messaging across environments.

nnounce products paired with Airport CX elevate the passenger experience for airports of all sizes. Operators can instantly trigger announcements for specific flights or trips, with displays automatically updating to show accurate, real-time information, keeping travelers informed and enhancing their journey.

For ground public transport, including trains, ferries, and buses, the Transit CX platform unified with nnounce devices allows for robust and timely management of location-specific announcements and visual information updates throughout entire transportation networks.
