Product Description
Bose PowerShare PS604A adaptable power amplifier delivers 600 watts for
fixed-install applications. Through patented technology, total amplifier power
is shared across all output channels, allowing installers the freedom to utilize
power where needed. With support for both low- and high-impedance loads
up to 100V, PowerShare amplifiers adapt to a wide range of applications.
Onboard configurable loudspeaker processing and direct access to zone
controllers eliminate the need for an additional signal processor in many
installations, while outstanding audio performance and reliability are assured
with patented technologies inherited from the field-proven PowerMatch
®
line.
With the inclusion of AmpLink, up to 24 digital audio channels can be sent
to the amp from a Bose DSP via a shielded CAT 5 cable. This unique set of
features and technologies makes PowerShare one of the most versatile high-
performance amplifiers available.
Key Features
• PowerShare Technology – Patented PowerShare technology allows the total
600 watts of power to be shared asymmetrically across all outputs, as each
output is capable of delivering full power. Instead of selecting amplifier power
based on the needs of the largest zone, installers now have the freedom to use
total amplifier power in the application. This enables more flexibility during
the initial design, or later on-site when making unplanned changes that take
advantage of surplus power.
• Load-Independent Outputs – Each channel can be configured for low-
impedance (4-8 ) or high-impedance (70/100V) applications without
bridging, use of jumpers, or software settings.
• DFL™ System – The Dual Feedback Loop system, inherited from the field-
proven Bose PowerMatch
®
amplifier line, improves performance and reliability
through continuous monitoring and control of both the current and voltage
delivered to each output load. This combination provides improved linearity
and lower distortion, while protecting loudspeakers.
• Integrated Loudspeaker Processing with Optional PowerShare Editor
Configuration – For applications requiring additional signal processing the
PowerShare Editor Software oers real-time selection and control of Bose
loudspeaker EQs, 9-band PEQs, matrix mixing, crossover, delay, and mute/
output polarity through a USB connection. For basic setups without a PC,
rear-panel settings allow installers to recall Bose loudspeaker equalization
and protection per output channel. These features eliminate the need for an
external signal processor in many applications.
• AmpLink – Transports up to 24 uncompressed, near zero latency, digital audio
channels between Bose DSPs and the PowerShare PS604A via shielded CAT
5 cable. The amp also supports a THRU path for daisychaining up to 8 other
Bose AmpLink amplifiers, at a distance of up to 10 m between products. Any
combination of AmpLink amplifiers can be daisychained.
Applications
Designed for a wide range of applications,
including:

• ControlCenter Zone Controller
Accessories – Bose ControlCenter CC-1
zone controllers can be directly attached
for remote adjustment of amplifier
outputs, further extending stand-alone
amplifier applications.
• Auto-Standby – Designed to save
power consumption when not in use.
PowerShare amplifiers can be configured
to automatically enter standby mode
when the audio signal falls below a set
threshold, then wake when audio returns.
