Sonifex PS-AMPS - IP to Speakers Streaming Decoder 1U Rackmount

Sonifex PS-AMPS

The Sonifex PS-AMPS is a rackmount unit which converts an IP audio stream directly to speaker outputs.  The PS-AMPS uses an integrated 2 x 15W D-class amplifier to deliver audio directly to a pair of connected speakers.

The PS-AMPS has the same feature-set as the PS-PLAY except that there are no individual audio outputs other than the speaker terminals.
