Each PMA amplifier utilises a four-channel mainframe driven by a proprietary dealer programmable DSP engine. The DSP front end includes digital crossover filters for all PHC loudspeaker models and easy to use system set-up and calibration abilities. Energy efficient Class-D amplification is provided via ICEpower, supplying up to 4000 watts in a single 2-RU chassis weighing 20 pounds.

The PMA-Series are the first products to introduce ultra-high resolution wide-band FIR (Finite Impulse Response) digital equalisation to loudspeaker processing for the home environment.

As easy to operate as to install, each PMA amplifier is programmed via a custom Windows utility and GUI, providing a user-friendly interface to the installer. System programming and calibration is performed via a series of intuitive drop-down menus offering correction for speaker placement behind screens and fabrics, placement near multiple room boundaries and individual channel gain.

An LCD display mounted in the front panel provides real-time feedback for each channel during system setup; including power module identification, DSP programming and EQ and gain settings. Signal present and clip indicators are provided on the rear panel. A diagnostic noise generator and looping outputs are also included.

PHC’s uncompromising approach to product engineering has produced a full range of loudspeaker systems capable of reproducing commercial cinema output levels with unrestricted dynamics and a sophisticated line of DSP driven amplifiers boasting the power levels needed to provide realistic performance for music and film.

The PMA-Series will begin shipping in quantity in the first quarter of 2011.
