The Audac SMQ500 WaveDynamics™ is a powerful quad-channel Class-D power amplifier designed for professional fixed installations and mobile audio applications. Delivering up to 4 x 500W RMS at 4 Ohms or 2 x 1000W bridged at 8 Ohms, the SMQ500 provides exceptional flexibility for multi-zone sound systems, commercial installations and high-performance audio applications.
Featuring Audac's advanced WaveDynamics™ DSP platform, a user-friendly 2.5-inch colour LCD display and optional Dante™/AES67 networking, the SMQ500 combines powerful amplification, advanced loudspeaker management and comprehensive system control in a single 2U rackmount chassis.
The SMQ500 delivers high-output performance across four independent amplifier channels, making it ideal for powering multiple loudspeaker zones from a single amplifier.
The integrated DSP processor allows complete optimisation of loudspeaker systems through advanced filtering, equalisation and protection functions.
The built-in 2.5-inch colour LCD display provides quick access to amplifier settings, DSP parameters and system monitoring functions.
The SMQ500 includes powerful loudspeaker management and protection features to ensure maximum performance and long-term reliability.
Flexible audio connections make the SMQ500 suitable for integration into a wide range of professional audio environments.
The optional Dante™/AES67 network interface enables the amplifier to become part of a professional networked audio infrastructure.
When fitted with the optional ANI44XT interface, the SMQ500 supports Audac TouchLink™ technology, enabling multiple compatible devices to operate as virtual audio zones across a networked installation.
The SMQ500 is engineered for professional AV integration and secure system management.
Built-in protection systems ensure reliable operation while safeguarding both amplifier and loudspeaker systems.
