Stewart Audio FLX-E-160-2-LZ-D 2-Channel DSP Enabled Amplifier

Two-Channel DSP Amplifier with Dante and AES67 for Low Impedance Systems
The Stewart Audio FLX-E-160-2-LZ-D is a 2-channel amplifier that delivers 160 watts per channel into 4 or 8 ohm speaker loads, equipped with integrated DSP, full network control, and Dante™/AES67 audio transport. Designed for modern commercial AV environments, this half-rack amplifier supports a wide range of control options including Ethernet, RS-232, and remote volume interfaces, giving installers and integrators a powerful solution for low-impedance zones where high fidelity and network flexibility are critical.

Built-In DSP Engine for Complete Audio Management
At the heart of the FLX-E-160-2-LZ-D is a full-featured digital signal processor that enables precise control over signal routing, dynamics, and EQ. The internal DSP includes a full cross-point matrix mixer, parametric equalization, pre-mix level control, high-pass and low-pass filters, compression, and limiting. These tools allow for full customization of each channel to match speaker characteristics, room acoustics, or source content, eliminating the need for separate processing hardware.

Dante and AES67 Audio Integration for Networked Systems
This amplifier supports four Dante™ input and four Dante™ output channels, with AES67 interoperability, allowing it to function seamlessly in AV-over-IP environments. It enables audio routing over standard Ethernet infrastructure, significantly reducing the need for analog cabling and simplifying complex system deployments. Whether integrating with digital mixers, paging systems, or centralized DSP cores, the FLX-E-160-2-LZ-D delivers robust performance and interoperability in any networked audio setup.

Flexible Analog Inputs and Control Options
The FLX-E-160-2-LZ-D features four analog inputs, all configurable as mic or line level, with two inputs offering 24V phantom power for microphone support. This makes it suitable for hybrid systems where analog and digital sources coexist. Control options include Ethernet for configuration and reporting, RS-232 for third-party control system integration, and RVC (remote volume control) for simple end-user access. These multiple pathways ensure seamless operation across a wide range of use cases and installation types.

Compact Half-Rack Design with Silent Operation
With a convection-cooled, fanless design and a compact half-rack chassis, the amplifier is suited for installations where space is limited and silent operation is a requirement. Ideal for lecture halls, conference rooms, boardrooms, and hospitality environments, the FLX-E-160-2-LZ-D offers powerful performance in a format that’s easy to mount in standard racks, podiums, or above-ceiling spaces.

Scalable Performance for Small to Medium Zones
With 160W output per channel and support for both analog and Dante network sources, this amplifier is purpose-built for powering low-impedance speaker zones that require high output, precise processing, and flexible control. It’s a smart solution for venues that demand premium sound with streamlined setup and reliable, repeatable performance across systems.
