Superior Networked Audio

Dynacord TGX power amplifiers are equipped with Dante networking capabilities as well as AES and analog inputs. Each amplifier features the industry’s most advanced 96 kHz DSP with FIR Drive technology. The combination of each amplifier’s market leading ultra-low latency with up to 118dB signal-to-noise ratio offers an unrivalled level of audio quality.

Unparalleled Power

Featuring two models with 4 x 2,500 watts and 4 x 5,000 watts , TGX power amplifiers offer an unparalleled 4-ohm power density of 10 kW and even 20 kW from a single amplifier with all channels driven simultaneously.

Flawless Reliability

TGX power amplifiers incorporate a number of unique patent-pending technologies designed to deliver a reliable and stable system performance. The show will go on without clipping or shutdown. TGX’s advanced protection package monitors more than 200 parameters to assure that even under the most challenging operating conditions the amplifier continues to perform at the highest possible level. In addition, Dynacord’s digitally regulated Power Factor Correction (PFC) provides peace of mind; even with fluctuating mains, TGX amplifiers will remain stable and efficient. Junction Temperature Modelling (JTM) technology ensures the highest possible output power and tour-grade performance without any shutdown or loss of audio quality. Dual network ports and automatic fall-back provide an extra level of redundancy and system reliability.

Power Factor Correction

• Maximizes output power and reduces idle power
• Complete digital monitoring and control
• Wide range input for maximum flexibility
• Highest reliability thanks to Dynacord's protection algorithms

Junction Temperature Modelling

• Overheat component protection by constant temperature modelling
• Ensures maximum output power
• Provides highest operational reliability

The Smooth Way to Drive Your Sound

Sound engineers aim to create the best sound quality show after show, giving the audience an unforgettable experience time after time. However, making the vast array of diverse equipment and technologies work in sync at every venue takes skill, experience and time. But time is always limited and the show must go on. That’s why we offer a new, unique software platform for faster digital sound design and management, designed with simplicity and performance in mind, providing transparency, overview and control to save time on set-up while giving total control for audio management and the perfect sound. Fully compatible with Dante Audio, this software is designed around our users and the way they work.

It also empowers the user to design, tune and operate an entire sound system from one piece of software. Developed in-house, the new cross-platform software offers intuitive and streamlined workflow guidance to save both time and effort. It’s designed to support the entire workflow with plug-in options for loudspeaker prediction software like EASE Focus and real time measurement systems like Systune. Using a light and dark color scheme, the GUI adapts to increase visibility in high and low lighting conditions. Alternatively, TGX power amplifiers can also be operated via IRIS-Net software, which offers numerous options for the most complex sound system configurations.
