NEXT Audiogroup has announced the launch of the X80, a high-performance 4-channel Class D amplifier engineered for demanding professional audio applications requiring power, precision, and seamless system integration.

Delivering up to 4 × 2000 W at 4 Ω, the X80 combines substantial output capability with advanced DSP processing and full compatibility with the X-NET ecosystem, making it a flexible solution for both touring and fixed installation environments.

At the core of the X80 is a 96 kHz / 32-bit SHARC DSP, providing extensive system control and tuning capabilities. Users can configure parametric EQ, FIR filters, limiters, delay, polarity, and advanced routing, ensuring accurate optimization across a wide range of loudspeaker systems and venue conditions. Up to 24 onboard presets can be stored and recalled, allowing fast deployment in multi-scenario applications.

Designed as a fully network-ready platform amplifier, the X80 integrates directly with X-NET software via Ethernet connectivity. This enables real-time monitoring, remote configuration, and centralized management of multiple devices within complex sound systems, supporting scalable deployments across touring setups, performance venues, and multi-zone installations.

Connectivity options include balanced analogue inputs, AES/EBU digital inputs, and balanced signal outputs, providing maximum routing flexibility for modern hybrid system architectures.

To ensure reliability under continuous high-power operation, the X80 incorporates comprehensive protection systems including thermal protection, short-circuit protection, DC protection, and overload protection. The amplifier is housed in a robust 2U 19” rack chassis with intelligent cooling, engineered for consistent performance in professional environments.

With its combination of output power, advanced DSP processing, and full X-NET integration, the X80 expands NEXT Audiogroup’s system amplification platform, supporting the company’s strategy of delivering fully integrated and scalable professional audio solutions across installation and live sound applications.
