OVERVIEW
The LINUS-V908 is an eight-channel touring-grade power amplifier based on CODA Audio’s latest amplifier topology. Designed in a compact 2U format, it provides high power density and very low distortion performance, ensuring accurate and reliable audio reproduction in professional touring and portable system applications.
The V908 delivers 1500 W at 2 ohms per channel across eight channels. Channels can be bridged independently, allowing flexible output configurations of 1500 W at 4 ohms or 3000 W at 4 ohms, enabling efficient system scaling and configuration flexibility.
The amplifier incorporates a new DSP architecture, supporting future firmware updates and long-term adaptability.
Dual high-efficiency SMPS with power factor correction (PFC) allows operation across a 100–240 V mains voltage range.
Analogue and LiNET inputs are provided as standard, with Dante connectivity available on the V908-D model.
Factory presets for CODA loudspeakers—excluding sensor-controlled subwoofers and large-format line arrays—are stored internally and accessed via the 320 × 240 pixel touchscreen. Control is available locally, via the LINUS Control App for individual amplifiers, or through networked operation using LINUS Control Software for full system management.
The LINUS-V908 is engineered for touring reliability and is covered by a five-year guarantee. Ongoing firmware updates ensure continued compatibility, updated presets and specialist functionality.
Power that punches above its size. Control that fits in your pocket.
