SmartCard
15
K Series ampliers implement a SmartCard reader in
the front panel. The SmartCard – provided and initialized
by Powersoft – is a tool meant for storing and sharing
setup congurations and presets: up to 150 presets can be
stored into a single card and easily shared among different
ampliers.
15 : 1.Firmware update
The SmartCard can be converted into rmware card –
losing the storage capacity – allowing to update the internal
rmware of the amplier.
Since the rmware update procedure depends on the
actual conguration of the amplier, please refer to the
technical note #03 “K Series Firmware Update Procedure”
available in the download area of Powersoft website
www.powersoft-audio.com.
15 : 2.Step-Up card
K Series ampliers are based on a exible architecture
that has been developed to meet specic expansibility
criteria: by means of a specic Step-Up smartcard it is pos-
sible to upgrade the performance of a K series amplier at
the cost, more or less, as the price difference between the
various models.
The K6, K8 and K10 all share the same hardware plat-
form. This means that by purchasing a K6, it is possible –
as your business and your power requirements grow – to
upgrade the platform’s output power.
For example, one Step-Up will transform the K6 into a
K8, two Step-Ups will make the K6 a K10. Of course the K8
can also be upgraded.
The K2 and K3 on the other hand, are based on a smaller
hardware, so it is possible to Step-Up from K2 to K3, but not
from K3 to K6.
Same goes for the K20, which is also based on a differ-
ent hardware, making the K10 the highest possible upgrade
currently available.
The step-up procedure is described in the technical
note #04 “K Series Step-up Procedure” available in down-
load area in Powersoft website www.powersoft-audio.com.
Step-Up card as well as the storage and firmware
smartcard can be requested to Powersoft dealers.
