The Optimal Audio SmartAmp 20 is a 4-channel DSP amplifier in a half-width 1U chassis, with 250W shared between each pair of channels. Supporting both low-impedance and 70/100V line outputs, it is designed for mid-scale commercial installations where four independent speaker zones or a combination of satellite and subwoofer channels are needed. Built-in DSP with Optimal Audio speaker presets handles all processing internally.
