Overview
Bose PowerMatch PM8500N
The PowerMatch PM8500N is an 8-channel configurable power amplifier built for the sound reinforcement backbone of large, multi-zone AV systems — auditoriums, town halls and multi-room facilities.
QuadBridge technology lets each group of channels be reconfigured as Mono, V-Bridge, I-Share or Quad mode, so the amplifier's total power can be reallocated across zones without re-cabling, while integrated DSP handles EQ, crossovers and limiting on board.
