Stewart Audio FLX-E-160-2-CV 2 Channel DSP-Enabled Amplifier 2 x 160W

Two-Channel DSP Amplifier with Ethernet Control for 70V/100V Systems
The Stewart Audio FLX-E-160-2-CV is a powerful 2-channel amplifier designed for constant voltage systems, delivering 160 watts per channel at 70V or 100V. Engineered for commercial audio applications, this half-rack unit integrates full DSP processing, Ethernet-based control, and RS-232 support into one highly adaptable amplifier. It’s built to manage audio distribution across multiple zones with precision and flexibility, making it ideal for use in conference centers, retail environments, educational institutions, and hospitality venues.

Integrated DSP for Signal Routing and System Optimization
At the core of the FLX-E-160-2-CV is a comprehensive digital signal processor that gives you complete control over input routing, output shaping, and system tuning. The DSP includes a full cross-point matrix mixer, pre-mix level control, EQ, filtering, and limiting functions. These processing tools help refine audio quality across varied speaker zones and allow the amplifier to adapt to complex acoustic conditions, ensuring clarity and consistency throughout the system.

Multiple Control Options for Seamless Integration
Designed with flexibility in mind, the FLX-E-160-2-CV supports Ethernet-based configuration and reporting, enabling easy setup, real-time adjustments, and remote monitoring through standard network infrastructure. For systems requiring local or legacy integration, RS-232 and remote volume control (RVC) support provide additional control pathways. This allows the amplifier to interface with third-party automation systems or wall-mounted volume controls for hands-on user access.

Four Input Channels for Versatile Audio Source Management
The amplifier features four analog inputs—each configurable as mic or line level—with two inputs offering 24V phantom power. This input architecture supports a range of sources including paging microphones, media players, control systems, and more. Whether you're running a multi-source background music system or integrating microphones for live paging, the input section is built for adaptability.

Compact Design Built for Commercial Installations
The FLX-E-160-2-CV fits into a 1/2 rack enclosure, allowing for space-efficient installation in AV racks, lecterns, or plenum-rated areas above ceilings. Its convection-cooled, fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for noise-sensitive areas like boardrooms, classrooms, or houses of worship. Despite its compact footprint, it delivers reliable power and robust signal processing in a durable and install-friendly format.

No-Nonsense Setup with Repeatable Results
With configuration handled over Ethernet, installers can quickly program DSP settings, route inputs, and assign control parameters using intuitive software tools. This streamlines commissioning and makes it easy to replicate system configurations across multiple amplifiers or installation sites. The ability to monitor performance remotely adds another layer of value for facility managers and service teams maintaining long-term system integrity.
