Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The Connect 168 Dante concentrates eight 160-watt channels into a 1U networked amplifier for small- to medium-scale installations. Channel-by-channel selection of 4-ohm, 8-ohm, 70V, or 100V operation lets the amplifier serve different system requirements within the same unit. Analog and Dante inputs, internal DSP, crossovers, EQ, delay, and a routable input matrix give installers control of signal distribution. Connect through the onboard Wi-Fi access point, venue Wi-Fi, or FAST Ethernet for cloud monitoring, control, and notifications.
