Bose PowerShareX PSX4804D 4-Channel 4800W Smart Power Amplifier
DETAILS
The Bose PowerShareX PSX4804D is a 4-channel 4800W smart amplifier built for the most demanding professional installed sound systems, delivering intelligent power-sharing, onboard DSP and built-in Dante in a remarkably compact 1RU chassis.
The Bose PowerShareX PSX4804D is the most powerful amplifier in the PowerShareX range, delivering an impressive 4800W of intelligently managed power for the largest and most demanding professional audio installations. Designed for professional AV installers and system designers who need serious headroom without compromising on control or flexibility, the PSX4804D simplifies every stage of a project — from initial design and configuration through to installation, operation and ongoing monitoring — so you can deliver outstanding results and move on to the next job.

At the core of the PSX4804D is Bose's innovative power-sharing technology, developed in partnership with Powersoft. Rather than locking each channel to a fixed power allocation, the amplifier dynamically distributes its 4800W across all four outputs — either evenly or asymmetrically — depending on the demands of the system at any given moment. With asymmetrical rated power reaching up to 2600W at 4Ω and 2200W at 100V, this intelligent approach gives system designers the flexibility to drive the most complex and demanding loudspeaker configurations from a single amplifier, potentially reducing overall amplifier count and delivering significant cost savings on large-scale projects.
Output flexibility remains a hallmark of the PowerShareX range. The PSX4804D handles both low-impedance loads (2, 4 and 8Ω) and high-impedance 70V and 100V loudspeaker lines with ease, making it suitable for traditional installed audio systems and distributed 100V line setups alike. Four analogue inputs provide standard balanced line-level connections, while built-in Dante networking supports up to four digital input channels directly from a Dante network — with no additional network card required.
Onboard DSP gives installers instant access to Bose Professional certified loudspeaker presets via ControlSpace Designer software, ensuring optimal performance and loudspeaker protection straight out of the box. The full suite of processing tools includes parametric EQ, crossover filtering, delay, limiting and matrix mixing, all managed from a single intuitive interface alongside the broader Bose Professional ecosystem. Real-time network monitoring provides live system performance data, minimising downtime and reducing unnecessary service calls.
The PSX4804D is EN 54-16 certified, making it a compliant choice for voice alarm and public address systems. Despite its exceptional power output, the amplifier retains the same compact 1RU rack design as the rest of the PowerShareX range, measuring just 358mm deep and eliminating the need for oversized rack enclosures. Powersoft-proven reliability ensures the system performs day in, day out across the most demanding commercial environments.
