Introducing the CONNECT 1504 high-power IoT-enabled smart amp. This four-channel model drives 1,500 watts per channel (into 2, 4, and 8 ohms as well as 70Vrms and 100Vrms). This addition to the CONNECTSERIES amplifiers is available in NETWORK CONNECT and DANTE CONNECT versions, including both Dante and AES 67 connectivity options. With three different methods of network connection, users can connect using the amplifier’s built-in Wi-Fi Access Point, connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network, or using a Local Area Network Ethernet connection.

Then there’s the Cloud…The CONNECTSERIES is the first professional amplifier family to feature Cloud connectivity. Harness the power of the Cloud for remote control, monitoring, notifications and more from any of your personal devices. Just connect your amp to a network and start commanding your systems.
