Glensound Comedia-V PoE 4 Input Active DSP & Network Control Amp

Glensound Comedia-V PoE 4 Input Active DSP & Network Control Amp

The Glensound Comedia-V is a network audio loudspeaker amplifier powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE) and boasts the very latest low noise high output class D power amplifier.

Internally a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) takes careful care of the audio signals, including state of the art compression and limiting circuits. Control of setup and day to day operation of the Comedia is also available on our Windows 10 application Glensound Controller including the ability to group multiple Comedia’s together and control their level simultaneously. The rugged and lightweight aluminium enclosure has holes to allow for wall or ceiling mounting.

Comedia-V can receive up to four Dante (AES67 compliant) audio over IP (AoIP) inputs. These inputs can be selected by the user on front panel with a button and four leds to indicate the channel. The four audio inputs can also be easily mixed together and their individual levels adjusted. 

A priority system is provided to allow one (or more) of the inputs to automatically duck another. This can be very useful if you want to monitor one source but also listen to another when audio is present, such as sending show relay to dressing rooms in a theatre but having the stage managers call and building fire alarm take precedence when they’re active. 

Different preset EQs and an LF cut can all be set in the user menu to allow the Comedia to be used for a variety of applications.
