The Integra 8500DSP is an eight-channel professional DSP power amplifier built for demanding custom-installation and whole-home audio systems. It delivers 8 x 500W into 4 ohms (8 x 250W into 8 ohms) and supports bridged 70V/100V distributed operation at 4 x 1000W BTL, packing serious output into a compact 2U rack chassis.
Why This Model Matters
Part of Integra's Professional Amplifier Series, the 8500DSP pairs high-current amplification with onboard digital signal processing that integrators can tune per zone. Built-in Klipsch speaker presets, EQ, limiters and compressors let installers dial in sound and protect drivers, while WiFi and LAN control fold the amp into modern control ecosystems.
