    Description

    The Optimal Audio SmartAmp 30 is a high-power 4-channel DSP power amplifier engineered for demanding commercial audio installations. Delivering 250W per channel and housed in a compact 1U rack-mount chassis, it provides a powerful and scalable amplification solution for multi-zone systems requiring high output and reliable performance.

    Designed as the flagship model within the SmartAmp range, the SmartAmp 30 combines robust Class-D amplification, integrated DSP optimisation, and universal compatibility with both low impedance and 70V/100V line systems. This makes it ideally suited to larger venues and more complex installations where performance, efficiency, and flexibility are critical.

    High Output Multi-Channel Amplification

    The SmartAmp 30 delivers 4 x 250W of output power, providing a total of 1000W across four independent channels.

    Each channel can be configured to drive either low impedance loudspeakers or distributed 70V/100V systems, allowing the amplifier to support a wide range of applications without requiring additional equipment.

    This level of output makes it particularly suitable for:

    • Large hospitality venues and bars
    • Retail stores and shopping centres
    • Warehouses and industrial environments
    • Hotels, conference centres, and event spaces
    • Education facilities and public buildings

    The high power per channel ensures strong, consistent audio coverage across larger areas and longer cable runs.

    Designed for Larger Installations

    Unlike smaller models in the SmartAmp range, the SmartAmp 30 does not rely on power sharing. Instead, each channel delivers a full 250W independently, ensuring maximum available output at all times.

    This simplifies system design and ensures predictable performance in installations where each speaker line requires dedicated power.

    Integrated DSP for Optimised Loudspeaker Performance

    The SmartAmp 30 features built-in digital signal processing (DSP), specifically designed to optimise the performance of Optimal Audio loudspeakers.

    Key DSP capabilities include:

    • Pre-configured EQ presets tailored to Optimal Audio speaker models
    • Integrated limiter protection to prevent overload
    • Simplified system setup via rear-panel selection

    These presets automatically apply the correct tuning and protection settings, ensuring consistent sound quality and reducing the need for external DSP hardware.

    Compatible with 100V Line and Low Impedance Systems

    The SmartAmp 30 supports both distributed 70V/100V speaker systems and traditional low impedance configurations, providing maximum flexibility for installers.

    This allows it to be deployed in:

    • Ceiling speaker systems in commercial environments
    • Wall-mounted speaker installations
    • Hybrid systems combining different speaker types
    • New installations and retrofit projects

    This dual compatibility ensures the amplifier can adapt to a wide range of system requirements.

    Efficient Class-D Amplification

    Utilising Class-D technology, the SmartAmp 30 delivers high output with improved energy efficiency and reduced heat generation.

    Additional benefits include:

    • Lower power consumption
    • Reduced cooling requirements
    • Energy Star compliance for efficient operation
    • Automatic standby mode when idle

    The amplifier automatically enters a low-power sleep mode and wakes when an audio signal is detected, supporting energy-efficient operation in commercial environments.

    Professional Connectivity and Integration

    The SmartAmp 30 is designed for seamless integration into commercial AV systems, featuring:

    • 4 balanced line inputs via Euroblock connectors
    • Link outputs for cascading additional amplifiers
    • Euroblock speaker outputs for secure connections

    This ensures compatibility with mixers, DSP systems, and zone controllers, making it suitable for both standalone and integrated installations.

    Installation-Ready Rack Design

    Housed in a standard 1U 19-inch rack format, the SmartAmp 30 is designed for efficient installation in equipment racks. Unlike smaller SmartAmp models, it is intended primarily for rack-mounted applications, with rack ears included as standard.

    The unit also features forced-air cooling with temperature-controlled fans, ensuring reliable operation under high load conditions.

    Ideal Applications

    The Optimal Audio SmartAmp 30 is widely used across professional commercial audio environments:

    • Large bars, restaurants, and hospitality venues
    • Retail stores and shopping centres
    • Hotels and conference facilities
    • Education and public address systems
    • Warehouses and industrial installations
    • Houses of worship and event spaces

    Its high output and multi-channel design make it particularly suited to larger and more demanding systems.
