What Is the PS8AMP?
The PS8AMP is a dedicated, system-optimized power amplifier and controller designed specifically for the PS8 speaker. It’s not just about wattage—it’s about intelligent DSP that protects, processes, and enhances the speaker’s output.
Highlights:
-
2 x 200W RMS into 8Ω
-
Integrated crossover, EQ, time alignment, and protection
-
Rack-mountable, lightweight design
-
Plug-and-play: automatically recognizes connected speakers
Together, the PS8 and PS8AMP provide unmatched clarity, headroom, and reliability in compact setups.
Perfect Pairing: Why They Work So Well Together
Unlike using a generic amp, the PS8AMP is finely tuned to the PS8’s performance curve. That means:
-
Better phase alignment
-
Smoother frequency response
-
Maximized SPL without distortion
-
Protection circuitry that prevents speaker damage
This intelligent pairing ensures professional sound output with minimal setup or calibration.

PS8 Cabinet Design and Versatility

Easily pole-mounted for front-of-house use

-
Weighs under 25kg total
-
Requires just one amp for two speakers
-
Offers quick plug-and-play configuration
That makes it a favorite among mobile DJs, solo artists, and AV rental companies.
How It Stands Against the Competition
Compared to similar-sized systems from QSC, Yamaha, or JBL:
-
The NEXO system outshines in clarity and output-to-size ratio
-
Dedicated amplification means less tweaking, more performing
-
Pro-grade sound in a smaller footprint
While those brands offer powered speakers, few come close to the refined tuning and dynamic handling of the PS8/PS8AMP combo.
Expandable and Upgradable
The PS8AMP can power:
-
Up to two PS8 speakers + one LS400 subwoofer
-
Future integration with NEXO NXAMPs for larger systems
This means the PS8/PS8AMP isn’t a dead-end—it’s the start of a scalable professional audio system.
