President Engineering for ATK with
Powersoft’s DIGAM K- 10 amplifiers.
ATK Audiotek has purchased five million watts of power from Powersoft,
with the acquisition of 450 DIGAM
K- 10 AESOP Series amplifiers. A
single rack-space can now offer 12,000
watts of power in a product designed for
low power consumption and advanced
digital control. The purchase is part of
a unified vision for the future of ATK.
“We specialize in large, technically
difficult special events for television,”
stated Scott Harmala, VP Engineering
of ATK Audiotek.
“The reason for the massive purchase of the Powersoft K-10/AESOP’s
is because we wanted to implement a
unified equipment plan where all the
power amplifiers were the same,” he
continued. “This follows suit with the
other equipment we brought to the
field. After extensive testing of several
brands, we came to the conclusion that
the Powersoft K- 10 was at least a generation ahead of anything on the market,
bringing amplifier technology to a new
level. Since we knew we would most
likely be using this equipment over the
next 20 years, it had to be the best.”
