Summary Specifications
The power amplifier shall be a solid-state four-
channel model employing Class I (BCA
®
) output
circuitry.
The amplifier shall contain protection from
shorted, open and mismatched loads, general
overheating, DC, high frequency overloads,
under/over voltage, and internal faults.
If an amplifier channel starts to overheat, the
Thermal Level Control (TLC) circuit shall
engage the channel’s input compressor in
an amount proportional to the amount of
overheating, in order to generate less heat. If
the channel becomes too hot for safe operation,
the channel shall shut off, and the Thermal
Indicator for that channel shall illuminate brightly
to alert the user that a state of thermal stress or
overload has caused the channel to shut down.
The front-panel controls shall be a power
switch, Menu/Exit button, Previous button, Next
button, Encoder knob with push button, and a
touch screen color LCD screen. The encoder
knob and button combined with the touch screen
shall allow changes to be made to the amplifier
via the LCD screen.
Rear-mounted controls shall include a reset
switch for the circuit breaker.
The recommended load impedance in Non-
Bridge/Mono mode shall be 1/2/4/8/16 ohms.
The load impedance in Bridge-Mono mode shall be
2/4/8 ohms across Channels 1+2 and/or Channels
3+4. The amplifier shall be safe when driving any
kind of load, including highly reactive ones.
The rear-mounted output connectors for the
Speakon version shall be two high-current 50A
Neutrik SpeakON NL4MLP (mates with NL4FC or
NL4) and one high-current 50A Neutrik SpeakON
NLT8MP (mates with NL8FC). The rear-
mounted output connectors for the Binding Post
version shall be four pairs of high-current, 60A
color-coded 5-way binding posts (for banana
plugs, spade lugs, or bare wire).
The rear-mounted input connectors shall be
a 3-pin female XLR analog input connector for
each channel, and two 3-pin female XLR digital
input connectors that accepts a digital signal in
the AES3 format for Channel inputs 1+2 and 3+4.
The rear-mounted Ethernet connector accepts
an RJ-45 EtherCON connector for HiQnet™,
CobraNet™ and VDrive from a standard network
cable. Built into this connector shall be a yellow
LINK ACTIVITY indicator that shows network
activity, and a green 100Mb indicator that shows
a 100Mb network connection.
The rear-mounted Data indicator shall be a
yeallow LED that indicates data activity. The
rear-mounted Preset indicator shall be a yellow
LED that flashes to signal the number of the
current preset active.
The I-Tech 4x3500HD DriveCore Series shall
be fully compatible with Harman Pro System
Architect, JBL HiQnet Performance Manager,
and the Powered by Crown iOS app. The I-Tech
4x3500HD DriveCore Series shall also be
compatible with CobraNet networks.
Front panels indicators shall include a 4.3”
Color Touch Screen LCD with backlight to
control the amplifier’s setup and operation. A
yellow Bridge-Mode Indicator illuminates when
the amplifier is set to Bridge-Mono mode for
Channels 1+2 and/or Channels 3+4. A Ready
Indicator (one per channel) illuminates when
the channel is initialized and ready to produce
audio output and is off when the amplifier is
in standby mode via the control software, a
green Signal Indicator (one per channel) that
illuminates to indicate the presence of input
signals above -40dBu, a red Clip Indicator that
illuminates when the THD of the channel’s output
signal reaches the onset of audible clipping
and illuminates during Thermal Level Control
(TLC) limiting, a red Thermal Indicator (one per
channel) that illuminates when the channel has
shut down due to thermal stress or overload,
a red Fault Indicator (one per channel) that
illuminates when the amplifier output channel
has stopped operating, a yellow Data Indicator
that flashes during network data activity, a
blue Power Indicator that illuminates when the
amplifier has been turned on and AC power is
available (and flashes when the AC line voltage
is 15% above or below the nominal rated value),
and a green AC Mains Preset Indicator in the
power switch that indicates AC power is preset
at the power cord.
The amplifier shall include onboard BSS
OMNIDRIVEHD DSP with 24-bit conversion and
32-bit floating-point processing, DSP presets in
firmware and downloadable, load supervision,
error reporting, and a global power supply with
Power Factor Correction.

Channel 1+2 and Channel 3+4 both in Bridge-
Mono mode and driven at 0.35% THD (20Hz
to 20kHz): 4000 watts into 4 ohms and 4000
watts into 8 ohms.

Regulatory Certifications
The I-TechHD DriveCore Series offers amazing power, light weight and ease of use for touring sound
applications. Unlike other amplifiers, it includes onboard high-definition DSP, a Color Touchscreen LCD
control screen, and a built-in network connection. Modern power amplifiers are sophisticated pieces of
engineering capable of producing extremely high power levels.
