Powersoft Launched Nota, an ultra-compact PoE/PoE+ amplifier designed to meet the varied needs of AV system integrators. Nota was unveiled by Claudio Lastrucci, Powersoft co-founder and R&D director, at ISE 2025 in Barcelona.
Nota provides 140W of power across two channels in a pocked-sized footprint, making it an suited for commercial, conferencing, and retrofit installations. Its ability to transmit power and data via a single Ethernet connection aims to streamline installation, reduce costs, and minimise wiring complexity.
Nota’s headline features include on-board DSP capabilities, speaker health monitoring, and full control via both Powersoft’s ArmoníaPlus software and third-party APIs. The amplifier’s USB-C connectivity allows integration with external multimedia devices, doubling as a USB-to-AES67 converter for enhanced system flexibility. Its automated set-up automatically matches the impedance curve of connected speakers and applies a high-pass filter – optimising sound quality and protecting speakers from potential damage by ensuring efficient power transfer.
Nota is rated for plenum mounting in enclosed spaces, and the provided kit allows multiple installation configurations on flat surfaces, poles, and DIN rails. Additionally, remote monitoring via Powersoft’s Verso gateway and MyUniverso software provides real-time diagnostics from anywhere.
Claudio Lastrucci explained: “With Nota, we set out to create a versatile amplifier that could expand existing systems by integrating seamlessly with existing networked installations while also enabling the easy and cost-effective creation of new systems, regardless of your level of expertise. By offering streamlined set-up, modularity, flexibility and efficient operation in an ultra-compact form factor, Nota is a significant breakthrough for integrators working in environments where space is at a premium.”
