A step forward in versatility
COMPACT LITE was born as an integrated solution, designed to simplify installations and guarantee reliability. Its compact architecture already incorporates everything necessary to manage up to eight zones: Class D amplification, complete supervision, PA&VA matrix with IP connectivity, internal storage and multiple control options. However, the new DUAL AMP functionality takes its versatility to the next level.
This software-activated enhancement allows the two internal 460W RMS amplifiers to work independently, assigning speaker lines between both according to project requirements. It's an evolution designed especially for environments where different types of signal coexist, such as background music and emergency messages, and it's convenient to manage them separately.
The distribution is intuitive: the first four lines remain linked to the first amplifier, whilst the remaining four can be assigned to either the second or first amplifier according to specific needs. Thus, the system supports combinations such as 8/0, 6/2, 5/3, 7/1 or 4/4, facilitating more precise planning without departing from the equipment's compact format.
Advanced control, simple installation
The operating logic remains clear: volume control is performed per amplifier and applies to all its associated lines, with the possibility of disabling unnecessary lines or independently activating/deactivating music on each one. It's this operational simplicity that allows maximum advantage to be taken of the new capabilities without complicating the learning curve.
A practical example: in a shopping centre, background music can function autonomously in retail areas whilst the evacuation system maintains complete independence, ensuring that emergencies are never compromised by other signals.
The new functionality makes COMPACT LITE an even more versatile solution, ideal for applications where the balance between operational simplicity and technical capabilities is key: public buildings, industrial environments, commercial spaces or critical infrastructure.
Natural evolution, same philosophy
At OPTIMUS we design our systems with the future in mind, but always from the experience of those who install, configure and use them day by day. The DUAL AMP functionality is a concrete response to a practical need, developed without adding complexity or compromising equipment reliability.
Because innovation isn't just about adding new functions. Sometimes it's about optimising what already works, finding that perfect balance between technical capabilities and ease of use. And making everything more efficient, clearer and more useful for the professionals who trust in our systems.
