Features The hd C-Series CommercialSticks is according to the true 1-way design free of interference in the important mid-range because there are no phase delays in the crossover that typical 2-way systems have. The result is an outstanding sound quality in music and speech, extended dynamic and even coverage of audience areas. This is how surround-effects reach an unprecedented level of depth, spatial reproduction and audiophile class. Extremely powerful subwoofer with up to 1000W extend the low frequency sound experience down to the subsonic range.

Powersoft KDSP/X4 DSP Systemverstärker
Adjectives characterizing an professional system amplifier for all day use are „flexible, powerful, neutral, compact, lightweight, reliable, future-proof“. The broad range of features points out that most of the criteria‘s aren‘t fulfilled with no compromise by DSP amplifiers on the market. So far until the Powersoft KDSP/X4 amplifiers appeared. They combine cutting edge digital signal processing, comprehensive control and remote capabilities in a compact and very lightweight appearance plus tremendous power capacity and tonal balance. This is why we recommend the Powersoft KDSP/X4 series to be used with our Harmonic Design loudspeakers as a flexible system amplifier.
Their performance data speak for themselves: The outer appearance of the KDSP/X4 amplifier is decent, fits into a 19“ enclosure with only one height unit and 380/475mm depth at a weight of 8/12/15 kg. Its internal circuits provide up to 225V and 125A (peak) to the output channels. Hence the amplifier is able to deliver 2.700 W into 8 ohms, 5.200 W into 4 ohms and up to 9.000 W into 2 ohms load on both channels. Equipped with extensive protection circuits e.g. 400 V overvoltage protection and an universal power supply with PFC it can be operated on worldwide mains. Until now everything sounds like a typical Class-D amplifier, but now we come to the point where most competitors are out of the game - the DSP. A 24 Bit / 96 kHz digital loudspeaker management system in high-end audio quality with FIR/ IIR-filtering, innovative look-ahead limiters and RMS limiters and peak limiters included.
The Powersoft KDSP/X4 platform offers 50 internal preset memories, 150 preset locations on a preset card, AES3 digital input as well as an upgradeable Ethernet capability with audio transmission. With the corresponding Armonía audiosuite, the Harmonic Design system amplifier may be monitored and remote-controlled via Ethernet network. The existing DSP resources like filters, gain, delay, limiter and routing functions are accessible, whereby system-specific parameters are blocked in Harmonic Design loudspeaker presets and remain unaffected by the user to provide seamless performance during the all day use in touring and fixed installation. This is the reason why the Harmonic Design system amplifier is a reliable, powerful and future-proof part of Harmonic Design speaker systems.

About Us
...simply harmonic sound Made & Engineered In Germany Harmonic Design products are designed, developed and manufactured in South Germany, Steinheim an der Murr. Regional specialist suppliers from Germany deliver premium and durable components and devices to fulfill our strict quality requirements. As a result, we guarantee exceptional high quality and reliability of our products.
Over 35 Years Of Experience Since its foundation in 1980, Harmonic Design stands for research, development and manufacturing of cuttingedge loudspeaker systems and acoustic services. We did already think in systems and established the usage of system controllers (analog at that time) in 1988. In the early 90s, the cutting-edge computer aided measurement system “MLSSA” was introduced and raised the loudspeaker system research and development to a new level. The first digital signal processor followed in 1994 with pioneering filter capabilities. In recent years, we were gamechanging with technologies like GroupDelayCorrection or PowerSound.
Ultimate System Conception Harmonic Design active systems are composed of loudspeaker system, digital system controller and amplifier. The components are linked together and provide an ease of use, superb sound reproduction and enormous reliability. Each mid/high loudspeaker system is interchangeable to achieve the best performance depending on requirements and application.
Audiophile Top Performance Harmonic Design loudspeaker systems are well known for their neutral and linear sound reproduction. The loudspeaker components are investigated with latest measurement techniques and methods to improve even the minutest details. The linearity does not only mean a flat frequency response, but also impulse accuracy, precisely graduated tonal depth and minimal distortion.
