FFA HD DSP G3 Series
The FFA HD DSP G3 Series combines the sonic performance of the HD Series amplifiers with a fully featured 96kHz DSP engine built around the latest ESS chipsets. Each unit delivers a clear and natural sound with outstanding audio processing performance, accepting signals via balanced XLR in the analogue domain or digitally over Ethernet with Dante connectivity and AES67 compatibility.
Engineered with precision high-speed, low-noise electronic components and fully discrete Class D PWM amplifier circuits, the HD DSP G3 Series is suited for cafes, restaurants, bars, hotels, cinemas, nightclubs, outdoor festivals, and touring applications. All three models share identical DSP specifications at three different power levels.
Dante Network Audio
Signals can be routed over Ethernet via Dante connectivity with AES67 compatibility, allowing seamless integration into modern networked audio systems alongside traditional analogue XLR input.
Mac, Windows and iPad Control
FATWARE software provides full DSP control, routing, and preset management via USB and Ethernet access for PC, Mac, and iPad, with offline system design capability and preset library management.
Integrated DSP and High-Power Amplification in One Unit
The HD DSP G3 Series eliminates the need for a separate DSP processor by integrating a fully featured 96kHz ESS DSP engine directly into each amplifier. Input and output processing, routing matrix, Dante network audio, and GPI remote control are all built in, simplifying system design and reducing rack space without sacrificing audio performance or control flexibility.
