Product Description
The Linea Research 44C20-Dante is a high-power density installation amplifier designed for world-class performance. Delivering a total of 20,000 Watts RMS with all channels driven, it provides the massive headroom required for high-impact professional audio environments. Featuring integrated 96kHz DSP and Dante™/AES67 networking, it is the ultimate solution for large-scale stadiums, arenas, and performance venues.
Unrivaled Power Performance
Unlike many competitors, the 44C20-Dante delivers its full rated power simultaneously across all four channels, even with dense, continuous program material:
5,000W per channel @ 2 Ohms
3,000W per channel @ 4 Ohms
1,500W per channel @ 8 Ohms
3,500W per channel @ 70V / 5,000W per channel @ 100V
10,000W per bridged pair @ 4 Ohms
Key Technical Features
Integrated Dante™ & AES67: Equipped with a factory-fitted Dante interface for high-fidelity digital audio networking and system redundancy.
Masterful DSP Suite: Features Linea’s proprietary LMD (Linea Micro Detail) 96kHz processing, including LIR linear phase crossover filters and the advanced VX Limiter suite (Peak, RMS, and Excursion limiting).
High Efficiency & Low Heat: State-of-the-art Class D topology combined with a resonant switch-mode power supply makes this unit roughly 10% more efficient than standard professional amplifiers, resulting in significantly less waste heat.
Tamper-Proof Design: The minimalist front panel is designed for fixed installations, preventing unauthorized adjustments while providing clear status indicators.
Physical & Installation Specs
Rack Height: Standard 2U Rack Space.
Depth: Compact 357mm (14 inches) depth behind rack ears, fitting easily into shallower installation racks.
Weight: Only 12.5kg (27.5 lbs)—remarkably lightweight for a 20kW amplifier.
Universal Power: Auto-sensing 85V to 240V operation for global compatibility.
