About the Powersoft X8 / X8 Dante
The Powersoft X8 / X8 Dante is an 8-channel high-performance amplifier platform designed for versatile operation across a wide range of conditions. Its innovative power supply supports single-phase, bi-phase or three-phase operation from 85 VAC up to 460 VAC, with Power Load Balancing, Power Factor Correction and Smart Rails Management for efficiency across different power distribution environments. An internal 8x8 input/output matrix provides flexible routing and mixing of analogue and digital signals, while eight input channels accommodate physical analogue and AES3 connectors alongside two redundant Dante connections on the X8 Dante variant. A customisable input backup policy can automatically switch sources on signal failure. The DSP engine features multi-stage signal processing including IIR, FIR and IIR+FIR equalisers, raised-cosine filters and a complete limiter set, all managed through the Armonía Pro Audio Suite with WiFi remote monitoring via smartphone or tablet.
Powersoft X8 / X8 Dante — buyer FAQs
What is the Powersoft X8 / X8 Dante and what makes it distinctive as an amplifier platform?
The Powersoft X8 / X8 Dante is an 8-channel high-performance amplifier platform built around an unusually flexible power supply that accepts single-phase, bi-phase or three-phase mains from 85 VAC up to 460 VAC. Power Load Balancing with Power Factor Correction and Smart Rails Management improve efficiency across different power distribution environments, while Powersoft's Green Audio Power technologies reduce operational costs and carbon footprint.
Who makes the X8 / X8 Dante and where does it sit in their product range?
Powersoft is an Italian professional audio manufacturer founded in 1995 and based near Florence, specialising in high-efficiency power amplifiers for live sound and installed audio. The X8 sits within the X Series and represents the brand's approach to combining a high-channel-count output stage with advanced DSP and multi-phase power supply flexibility in a single platform.
What are the signal routing and DSP capabilities of the X8 / X8 Dante?
An internal 8x8 input/output matrix allows flexible mixing and routing of analogue and digital signals. The DSP engine delivers multi-stage processing including IIR, FIR and IIR+FIR equalisers, raised-cosine filters and a full limiter set. All parameters are managed through the Armonía Pro Audio Suite, with WiFi remote monitoring available via smartphone or tablet.
How does the Dante networking work on the X8 Dante variant?
The X8 Dante variant adds two redundant Dante connections alongside eight input channels with physical analogue and AES3 connectors. The redundant Dante ports support plug-and-play networking so the unit can receive audio routed from any node within the network. A customisable input backup policy also allows automatic source switching if a signal fails, reducing the risk of dropout during operation.
What should I check when buying a used Powersoft X8 / X8 Dante?
Confirm whether the unit is the standard X8 or the X8 Dante variant, as the Dante model adds redundant network audio connections. Check that all eight channels are functional, that the DSP and Armonía control path respond correctly, and that WiFi monitoring is operational. Used units are sometimes listed with or without cases, which affects value. Each listing on this page carries a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults; the buying guide at 10kused.com/used-av-equipment-guide covers the full purchasing process.
