DETAILS

The Bose PowerShare PS404D is a 4-channel 400W smart power amplifier featuring patented PowerShare technology, built-in Dante networking and onboard DSP — delivering outstanding flexibility and performance for professional installed audio applications.

The Bose PowerShare PS404D brings the proven performance and reliability of the Bose Professional PowerMatch amplifier line to a new generation of installed audio systems. Inheriting patented technologies from one of the most respected amplifier ranges in professional audio, the PS404D combines intelligent power management, advanced DSP and seamless network integration into a compact 1RU chassis — making it one of the most versatile amplifiers available for commercial installation today.

At the heart of the PS404D is Bose's patented PowerShare technology, which fundamentally changes the way amplifier power is allocated. Rather than dividing total power equally and permanently across four channels, the PS404D distributes its 400W asymmetrically across all outputs — allowing any individual output to draw full power when needed. This means system designers no longer need to size an amplifier based on the demands of the largest single zone, offering far greater flexibility during initial system design and invaluable freedom when making unplanned on-site changes that take advantage of surplus power.

Underpinning the PS404D's audio performance is Bose's Dual Feedback Loop system, inherited directly from the PowerMatch amplifier line. By continuously monitoring and controlling both the current and voltage delivered to each output load, this technology provides improved linearity and lower distortion whilst protecting connected loudspeakers — resulting in consistently excellent audio performance and long-term reliability.

Output flexibility is a further strength of the PS404D. Any channel can be independently configured for low-impedance (4–8Ω) or high-impedance (70V/100V) operation without bridging or using jumpers, making it straightforward to adapt the amplifier to a wide variety of application types within the same installation. Four analogue inputs are complemented by built-in Dante audio networking, supporting four digital input channels directly from a Dante network and allowing the amplifier to be positioned away from source locations and closer to loudspeakers for a cleaner, more flexible system design.

Onboard DSP via ControlSpace Designer software provides a comprehensive suite of processing tools including nine-band parametric EQ, matrix mixing, crossover filtering, limiting and delay, alongside access to Bose Professional certified loudspeaker presets. An auto-standby function can also be configured to reduce power consumption when no audio signal is present. The PS404D is a compelling choice for performing arts venues, places of worship, conference centres, restaurants, retail environments and hospitality venues of all sizes.

Bose PowerShare PS404D Key Features:

  • Patented PowerShare Technology: Distributes 400W asymmetrically across all four outputs, allowing any individual output to deliver full power and offering unmatched flexibility for system design and on-site changes.
  • Dual Feedback Loop System: Continuously monitors and controls current and voltage at each output for improved linearity, lower distortion and enhanced loudspeaker protection, inherited from the field-proven PowerMatch amplifier line.
  • Load-Independent Outputs: Any channel can be independently configured for low-impedance (4–8Ω) or high-impedance (70V/100V) operation without bridging or jumpers.
  • Built-In Dante Networking: Supports four digital audio input channels from a Dante network, with the ability to mix analogue and Dante inputs in ControlSpace Designer.
  • Onboard DSP with Bose Professional Presets: Comprehensive processing including 9-band parametric EQ, matrix mixing, crossover, limiting and delay, all configurable via ControlSpace Designer software.
  • ControlSpace Integration: Full integration with ControlSpace Designer for Ethernet-based configuration, end-user control and scheduling within larger networked audio systems.
  • Auto-Standby Mode: Automatically enters low-power standby when audio signal falls below a set threshold and wakes when audio returns, reducing energy consumption.
  • 4 Analogue Inputs: Four balanced line-level inputs via a single 12-pin Euroblock connector.
  • Compact 1RU Design: Rack-mountable in a single rack space for neat, space-efficient installation.
