Rated 4.9 (99 reviews)
The Linea Research 44 M20 Dante is the most powerful amplifier in the 44M Series, now with integrated Dante network audio. Each of the four channels delivers 3,000W at 4 Ohms – all simultaneously – with bridged mode capable of up to 10,000W for the most demanding subwoofer deployments. Dante connectivity enables audio routing over standard Ethernet, streamlining cabling on large-scale touring and festival systems. Combined with 96kHz DSP, LIR linear phase crossovers, and the VX Limiter suite, the M20 Dante is a complete amplification and processing platform.

Dante Network AudioIntegrated Dante delivers audio over standard Ethernet, enabling flexible signal routing and centralised control across large systems. This is particularly advantageous for touring and festival deployments where rapid setup and reduced cabling are priorities. The analogue-only 44 M20 (ZR1260) is also available.
Features
Integrated Dante for network audio distribution over standard Ethernet
20,000W total – all four channels at full rated power simultaneously, no burst ratings
Bridged mode capable of up to 10,000W for high-demand subwoofer applications
Independently verified 7-10% efficiency advantage over competing amplifiers
96kHz DSP engine with LIR linear phase crossover filters – lower latency than FIR
VX Limiter suite: Peak, RMS, Excursion and multi-band limiting for passive 2-way systems
Per-channel impedance selection: 2 or 4 Ohms
25V, 70V and 100V constant voltage lines for distributed audio installations
Remote Ethernet control via SE System Engineer; front panel for local configuration
Overlay grouping for Mutes, Gains, Delays and EQ across multiple amplifiers
NoteThe 44 M20 supports 2 and 4 Ohm loads only – 8 Ohm operation is not available on this model. For 8 Ohm capability, see the 44 M6 or 44 M10 variants.
