Bowers & Wilkins CDA-4D DSP Amplifier - Bowers & Wilkins
The CDA-4D is a compact distribution amplifier, designed to power current and future Bowers & Wilkins Custom Installation loudspeakers, Embedded DSP allows optimisation of a wide range of products and dynamic EQ for Bowers & Wilkins subwoofers. It boasts four channels of 125 watts each, and its full-rack-width 1U design delivers high-performance from minimum rack space.
Impressively smart
To ensure the CDA-4D delivers in the modern custom installation system, it is equipped with Digital Signal Processing (DSP). This allows it to be used in a wide variety of situations, provides control over IP and configuration, and for providing dynamic EQ for Bowers & Wilkins subwoofers.
Compact powerhouse
CDA-4D’s 1U size means that it takes up the minimum of rack real estate. But with four channels of 125 watts of Class D amplification on hand it can deliver power when required. Plus, as it’s bridgeable this can be configured to 2 x 250 watts, or a 2.1 setup (2 x 125 watts and 1 x 250 watts), where needed.
Flexible
Whether you are looking to upgrade an in-situ installation or planning a new one, the CDA-4D DSP amplifier is ideal. It can drive two zones, and works with a wide variety of Bowers & Wilkins products, both current and future.
