Stewart Audio MC850-CV-D 8-Channel 70/100V Amplifier with Ethernet Reporting and Control

The Stewart Audio MC850 is an 8-channel, 70/100V, 1RU amplifier that delivers 50W per channel with convenient channel-to-channel power sharing, Ethernet, and RS-232 control. This unit supports Dante audio and AES67 and embodies the future of smart amplification with networked audio inputs, Ethernet configuration, control and reporting and flexible power allocation between channels.

With 8 channels and a total of 400W this amplifier can be set up to work as a low impedance unit or a 70V/100V, or a mix of the two! With network access, the installer can locate in the zone for real time feedback which allows for configuration to be done anywhere. The software is simple, intuitive and targeted in scope to make set up easy and allow for granular control. There are 8 independent Dante™ inputs. The MC850 family is AES67 compatible. We built the MC850 family with the network in mind and you'll find it shows.
