4.1 Unpacking
Carefully open the shipping carton and check for any noticeable
damage; the gure below ( FIGURE 7) shows the packing view.
Every Powersoft amplier is completely tested and inspected
before leaving the factory and should arrive in pristine condition.
In the unlikely event that you should encounter any damage,
please notify the shipping company immediately. Be sure to save
all packing materials for the carrier’s inspection.
The K Series box contains the following:
▶
1 K Series amplier
▶
1 x AC Mains cord

4.2 Mounting
All Powersoft ampliers are designed for standard 19” rack
mounting; there are four front panel holes and two rear-lateral
holes. In order to limit the risk of mechanical damages, ampliers
must be xed to the rack using both frontal as well as rear
mounting holes.
4.3 Cooling
All Powersoft ampliers implement a forced-air cooling system to
maintain low and constant operating temperatures. Drawn by an
internal fan, air enters through the slots in the front panel and is
forced over all components, exiting at the back of the amplier.
The amplier’s cooling system features an “intelligent” variable-
speed DC fan which is controlled by heat sink temperature sensing
circuits: the fan speed will increase only when the temperature
recorded by the sensors rises over carefully predetermined values.
This ensures that fan noise and internal dust accumulation are kept

3.1 Introduction
Congratulations on buying a Powersoft K Series amplier!
Powersoft is a leading company in the eld of high efciency
audio power management. The Powersoft Class D technology
has changed the way the world looks at professional audio
amplication: no other amplier’s performance comes close for
applications demanding high power and long term reliability.
Thanks to amazing reductions in heat output and weight, without
sacricing output powers, Powersoft ampliers can be used in an
unlimited range of PA applications such as opera houses, theaters,
churches, cinema, and theme parks.
3.2 The K Series
K Series has many advanced features, digital control of many
parameters, adjustable maximum mains consumption, selectable
digital presets and a graphic display that shows detailed information
of the status of the amplier. All K Series ampliers come with built
in Power Factor Correction. This unique feature ensures that a
predominantly resistive load is presented to mains thus minimizing
current distortion and voltage/current displacement. This leads to
improved performance of the amplier at high levels of output and
avoids mains-voltage collapses, typical of standard and switching
power supplies. Another great advantage of this technology is that
its performance is, to a large extent, independent of mains voltage.
The rated output power does not vary with load/line conditions.
3.3 More sound and less weight
Class D technology based ampliers are highly efcient, delivering
greater power to speakers with reduced heat dissipation: typical
running efciency of output stages is 95%, with only 5% of input
energy dissipated as heat. This allows for smaller dimensions,
weight and power consumptions.
Contrary to conventional ampliers which achieve highest
efciency only at full rated power output, Class D efciency is
almost independent of output level. Music has an average power
density of 40% of its peak value; this means that other (non-
class D) ampliers can easily generate 10 times more heat than
Powersoft products for the same sound pressure level.
Powersoft ampliers deliver crystal-clear highs, and a tight, well-
dened low end: the most accurate reproduction of an audio
signal. Solid time proven design features ensure extremely high
performance in terms of super low total harmonic distortion,
optimal frequency response, high power bandwidth and damping
factor across a vast number of application scenarios. Powersoft’s
multi patented application of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
high frequency sampling techniques is just one of the many factors
contributing to the K Series’ high performance ratings across the
audio bandwidth.
