Detailed Description SmartAmp 20
SmartAmp 20 brings four amplifier channels and loudspeaker DSP into a half-width 1U enclosure. Rear-panel preset switches apply the EQ and limiter settings for supported Optimal Audio loudspeakers. Custom Configurator profiles extend the available configurations where required.

The nominal rating is 4 × 125 W. Each pair of channels shares a maximum of 250 W, which can be allocated unevenly within that pair to suit different speaker loads. The amplifier drives conventional 4–16 Ω loudspeakers as well as 70 V and 100 V distributed systems.
Two compatible SmartAmps can mount side by side in one rack space with the appropriate kit. Audio connections use balanced Euroblock inputs and Euroblock loudspeaker outputs. GPIO supports ZonePad VL1 volume panels, while a Zone controller provides wider system control through WebApp. The universal mains input operates from 100–240 V.
