Powersoft announced the launch of DC Rider, a DC-powered amplifier platform designed specifically for visitor attractions o handle the challenging conditions of theme park rides and other high-vibration environments. Available in both eight and sixteen channel versions, DC Rider combines a compact design and light weight (1.5kg) and functionalities found in other Powersoft amplifier platforms, including built-in DSP, AES67 compatibility; and power sharing capabilities that allow it to drive subwoofers, loudspeakers and even haptic transducers (such as Powersoft’s Mover).

DC Rider is engineered to automotive standards for vibration resistance and operates in extreme conditions, including high-vibration and outdoor environments. Its integrated DSP provides full audio signal control, including channel EQ, filtering and delay management, eliminating the need for external processors, while its AES67 audio-over-IP networking capabilities ensure connectivity across complex installations and set-ups.

The new amplifier platform also offers advanced daisy-chaining support while APIs enable third-party control and monitoring.
