Powersoft to Exhibit M-System at ALMA Winter Symposium

Powersoft, a manufacturer of professional power amplifiers, announces that it will exhibit its M-System innovations next month at ALMA's Winter Symposium on January 3 and 4 [Booth 24] at the Tuscany Suites and Casino in Las Vegas. The theme for this year's Winter Symposium will be "Digitally Driven Loudspeakers: A New Paradigm Demands New Designs."

Claudio Lastrucci, Powersoft's research and development director, will be on hand to deliver a tutorial, "A New High Performance Moving Magnet Acoustic Transducer" (T1), on behalf of Powersoft. The company will also offer live booth demonstrations of its M-Force and M-Drive solutions, which were launched at InfoComm. The M-Force transducer features "push-pull" technology, an extremely powerful motor and unique displacement capabilities, the company says.

Lastrucci's tutorial, which is scheduled to occur Saturday morning, January 3 at 8:00 am in Florentine A, will focus on new technologies that are now available in the electronic amplification domain, and how innovations in magnetic materials--including the development of new electrodynamic devices--can lead to improvements in electrical to acoustical conversion efficiency, sound quality, and power handling. As co-founder and R&D development director of Powersoft, Lastrucci's fields of expertise include electric power, audio amplification, signal processing, acoustic design, and other areas.

Earlier this year, Lastrucci introduced Powersoft's M-Force linear motor technology at the 136th AES Convention in Berlin [A Novel Moving Magnet Linear Motor: Convention Paper 9060], and presented on the practical use of M-Force linear motor technology with his colleague Mario di Cola of Audio Labs Systems at the 137th AES Convention in New York [Subwoofer design with Moving Magnet Linear Motor], both of which discuss significant innovations in loudspeaker design. The papers are available here: http://www.aes.org/contact/?area=publications&subarea=papers.

Since its launch, Powersoft's M-Force system--including M-Force and M-Drive solutions--have been used in a variety of applications by A/V specialists and integrators including ATK Audiotek, Maryland Sound International (MSI), and others.
