Martin Audio melds high power density with superb audio performance, state-of-the-art DSP and network control into one advanced 4-channel power amplifier in the iKON iK42. Designed as a dedicated controller amplifier for Martin Audio Wavefront Precision line arrays and XE Series stage monitors, the iK42 can also provide multi-channel amplification across the Martin Audio loudspeaker range. It can deliver a full 5000 watts per channel into 2Ω with all channels driven while maintaining its high efficiency which reduces the energy drawn from the mains supply ensuring superb sound under strenuous live conditions. Control your way, use Martin Audio’s VU-NET software app via Ethernet for system remote control and monitoring, the front panel interface which gives full local control of all features as well, plus Dante digital audio network inputs for digital audio distribution and control. The iK42 also features powerful DSP for maximum performance and worldwide compatibility, up to 1000 FIR filter taps @ 48kHz on each output channel, and comprehensive protection functions to maintain safe operating conditions of both the amplifier and the loudspeakers driven.
