EAW UXA4416

4-Channel Professional DSP Power Amplifier

The EAW UXA4416 represents the next generation of four-channel DSP amplification from EAW, packing a colossal power engine and advanced digital audio management into a sleek 2U rack solution. Purpose-engineered to squeeze maximum acoustic output out of flagship EAW loudspeaker arrays, the UXA4416 combines high-efficiency Class D technology with pristine digital processing. It is the absolute cornerstone tool for elite touring production companies and critical permanent installations demanding massive headroom with unyielding signal integrity.

Uncompromising Brains and Massive Power Headroom

Don’t let its ultra-clean 2U footprint fool you—the EAW UXA4416 delivers staggering output performance across all four of its fully independent channels. Firing simultaneously, it unleashes an incredible 4 x 4000 Watts at 2.7 ohms, 4 x 2600 Watts at 4 ohms, or 4 x 1400 Watts at 8 ohms.

This dense power configuration ensures that the system remains entirely distortion-free under heavy loads, providing the dynamic headroom necessary to drive complex line array columns, stage monitors, or sub-bass stacks flawlessly night after night. Backing this infrastructure is a universal Power Factor Corrected (PFC) power supply that dynamically stabilizes internal power rails, allowing the amplifier to operate reliably anywhere in the world from 90V to 240V AC.

Preloaded Greybox Loudspeaker Intelligence

The ultimate advantage of the EAW UXA4416 lies in its preloaded EAW Greybox library. By implementing tailored factory profiles for compatible EAW passive speaker systems, the amplifier perfectly optimizes crossover points, safety limitations, and acoustic responses. Audio technicians can deploy full-scale systems with the complete assurance that each transducer is operating within safe mechanical boundaries while achieving peak performance.

Elite Signal Routing & Proprietary EAW Processing

  • Elite 96 kHz Core DSP: Operating at a premium 96 kHz sampling rate with a 40-bit floating-point architecture, the on-board DSP core provides ultra-deep management over delay lines, system EQ, and limiting parameters.

  • Proprietary Sound Optimization: Unlocks EAW’s legendary algorithms, including Focusing™ to perfect impulse time-domain responses and eliminate horn “honk,” DynO™ dynamic optimization to track input spectrum maps for maximum high-volume headroom, and Beamwidth Matched Crossovers to eliminate polar imperfections.

  • Comprehensive Matrix Routing: Incorporates a highly flexible 8-input by 4-output layout supporting 4 analog XLR lines, 4 digital AES3 inputs, and a robust 8-channel Dante network feed via dual redundant Gigabit Ethercon ports.

  • Ergonomic Local & Network Control: System designers can discover, group, and manage an unlimited matrix of amplifiers via network-connected EAW Resolution™ software. When working offline, an intuitive 4.3-inch front-panel capacitive touchscreen accompanied by a physical rotary encoder offers smooth, tactile hardware control.
