The Audac SMA500 WaveDynamics™ is a professional dual-channel Class-D power amplifier delivering up to 2 x 500W RMS at 4 Ohms and 1000W bridged at 8 Ohms. Designed for fixed installations and demanding commercial audio environments, the SMA500 combines powerful amplification with advanced DSP processing, comprehensive loudspeaker management and flexible system integration.
At the heart of the amplifier is Audac's renowned WaveDynamics™ DSP platform, providing advanced crossover functions, equalisation, delay processing and loudspeaker protection. Combined with an intuitive 2.5-inch colour LCD display and optional Dante™/AES67 networking, the SMA500 offers exceptional flexibility and control for professional audio installations.
Delivering substantial output power with exceptional efficiency, the SMA500 is designed to drive professional loudspeaker systems in commercial installations, entertainment venues, hospitality environments, houses of worship and performance spaces.
The integrated DSP engine provides extensive loudspeaker management and system optimisation directly within the amplifier.
These advanced processing tools allow installers to optimise audio performance for specific loudspeakers and acoustic environments without requiring external DSP hardware.
A bright 2.5-inch colour LCD display provides convenient access to DSP settings, amplifier configuration and system monitoring functions.
The SMA500 includes advanced loudspeaker protection and configurable system management features to maximise reliability and performance.
Flexible connectivity options make the SMA500 suitable for a wide range of installed sound and live audio applications.
The amplifier features an expansion slot for optional Dante™ and AES67 networking, enabling low-latency digital audio distribution across standard Ethernet infrastructures.
When equipped with the optional ANI44XT network interface, the SMA500 becomes TouchLink™ compatible, allowing multiple Audac devices to operate together as virtual audio zones across a networked system.
The SMA500 integrates easily into larger AV and automation systems through its professional control and management features.
Multiple protection circuits ensure safe operation and long-term reliability in demanding professional environments.
