Yamaha XMV8280-D Commercial Installation 8-Channel 280W Power Amplifier with Dante

Introducing the Yamaha XMV8280-D Power Amplifier
The Yamaha XMV8280-D is a high-performance 8-channel power amplifier designed for commercial installations requiring robust audio solutions. With its Class-D efficiency and versatile 280W (4-/8-ohm) and 250W (70/100V) channel outputs, this amplifier seamlessly integrates into any 2U rack space. It is engineered to handle both low- and high-impedance demands simultaneously, making it an ideal choice for venues like halls, malls, and banquet rooms that require adaptable, powerful audio systems.

Cutting-Edge Efficiency and Performance
Achieving over 90% efficiency, the XMV8280-D features Yamaha’s patent-pending output voltage-matching circuit alongside its advanced Class D technology. This setup ensures that the amplifier operates with reduced energy loss while maintaining high clarity and performance levels. The addition of Power Factor Correction in the power supply enhances this efficiency, delivering harmonically balanced audio even at lower currents without the usual drawbacks such as breaker shutdowns or the need for bulky cabling.

Dual Mode Flexibility
The XMV8280-D stands out with its ability to operate in both 70V/100V high-impedance and 4Ω/8Ω low-impedance modes simultaneously. This dual functionality allows for flexible speaker pairing and simpler installation processes, as it eliminates the need for additional amps or complex setups. The rear panel's dip switches enable easy mode assignment to channel pairs, streamlining the configuration process and ensuring versatile operation across a variety of audio setups.

Advanced Protection and Smart Functionality
Ensuring reliable operation, the XMV8280-D is equipped with robust internal protection features that safeguard against potential damage from low load impedance, overcurrent, and overheating. These intelligent protections not only prolong the amplifier's lifespan but also guarantee consistent performance under demanding conditions. Additionally, the amplifier’s smart functions like Backup mode and Override mode enhance system reliability by maintaining operational continuity during unexpected disruptions.

Seamless Integration with Dante Networking
Dante digital audio networking enhances the XMV8280-D’s capability to manage complex audio setups across large spaces requiring extensive cabling. This feature supports seamless integration with existing network infrastructures, making it possible to control and configure the system remotely via Ethernet. Dante's compatibility with Audinate’s Dante Domain Manager ensures secure, scalable, and manageable networked audio installations, fortified by Dante Device Lock for added security against unauthorized access.
