Powersoft ArmoníaPlus 2.0 is here, and this update is a big one, bringing a new approach to system design, alongside a plethora of new features, starting from the new welcome screen through which install users will be able to create projects from a dedicated skin.
With its newly developed physical controls, A+ 2.0 makes your installations lighter and your interaction with the system easier. It doesn’t end there, now you can design your control interface straight from within the program and use the same design on any smartphone or tablet through a dedicated app or from any browser.
Powersoft amplifiers can now manage mono, stereo and multichannel sources and zones. This allows for a decentralized system processing that eliminates the need for an external matrix in many applications, and can also reduce the number of cable runs, resulting in simpler and more effective installations.
ArmoníaPlus 2.0 also introduces Source Objects, which individual EQ and gain and are used to define an audio source that can be dynamically patched to amplifiers and zones. Sources can be fed to the amplifier’s analog, Dante, or AES3 inputs; and can be configured as mono, stereo, and multichannel (up to 64 channels).
Sources and loudspeakers can be assigned to Zones so that the different parts of the system can be controlled with a touch of a button, or with the turn of a knob. Zones also have their own EQ and gain and can take mixed amplifier output memberships. Zones can be configured to automatically route signals from any mono, stereo or multi-channel source to the loudspeakers, without the need of any internal or external matrix configuration. When switching from a mono to a stereo source, for example, the signal routing will be automatically distributed according to the user’s configurations.
Convert any analog or AES3 source into Dante signals and share them over the network straight from the Dante Matrix, which is now natively integrated in ArmoníaPlus. Patching between amplifiers and Dante sources is only done when needed, allowing the creation of offline sources, and providing a lighter solution for systems that require the selection of Dante sources.
You’re in Control
ArmoníaPlus 2.0 also introduces a series of solutions aimed at remotely controlling key system functionalities: zone level control, source selection, and system scene selection. The WM Level and WM Select can be shared over the network, meaning that a passive wall controller can be connected to one amplifier via GPI and control the parameters of other devices in the same network.
A dedicated Sys Control app will let users control their system Views and quickly load their A+ project designs to the amplifiers and external controls. Soon available for Apple and Android, the Sys Control app allows users to remotely control a system from any smartphone or tablet, and to conveniently load their A+ projects designs to any Powersoft amplifier and controller. The Sys Control App features a series of custom controls that can be assigned and configured from the Views Designer tab on ArmoníaPlus 2.0.
