Audio Production Equipment : Amplifiers (Audio) : Bose - PowerMatch PM8500 Configurable Amplifier

4000W/120V 8-channel PowerMatch Configurable Amplifier

Model: PowerMatch PM8500 Configurable Amplifier

Part #: 343547-1110

QuadBridge™ Technology - Allows the 4 available channels to be configured as Mono, V-Bridge, I-Share or Quad mode, allowing the total available power of the amplifier to be allocated to one or more output channels
Bose® ControlSpace® Designer™ software - PowerMatch amplifiers can be fully configured using ControlSpace designer software via the onboard front panel USB connection or the rear panel Ethernet connection (network models only)
Auto-standby/auto-wake function - When enabled, this function automatically enters/exits standby mode, allowing the system to consume less power
Dual voltage and current feedback loop - Proprietary design combines class-D efficiency with a unique current and voltage feedback loop circuit that continuously monitors and controls both the current and voltage delivered to the loudspeaker load
PeakBank™ power supply - Regenerative 4-quadrant power supply enables higher power density while allowing the re-use of energy from reactive loads that is normally wasted in conventional Class-D designs
