The Audiocenter D4.2K-D is a 4-channel Class D power amplifier rated at 4×500W at 4Ω or 2×1000W bridged at 8Ω, built with integrated BrainCore™ DSP processing (48kHz/24-bit, IIR and FIR filters, 15-band parametric EQ per input, 10-band per output, per-channel delay and limiting) and Dante audio networking. It accepts Dante, AES/EBU, and analogue inputs simultaneously with configurable matrix routing. Network management is handled via BrainCore NET software, which supports up to 250 devices from a single platform. The unit occupies 2U of rack space and weighs 8.5kg. It is supplied and supported in New Zealand by Edwards Sound Systems, an Auckland-based AV company that has stocked Audiocenter products since 2010.

Edwards Sound Systems supplies and installs pre-programmed turn-key event lighting packages for bars, schools, clubs, and community venues across Auckland. Built around the Kontrol192 DMX controller — supporting up to 12 fixtures at 16 channels per fixture — each package is custom-specified to the venue and pre-programmed with scenes, sound-activated modes, and labelled fixtures before delivery. Fixture options include the Event LITE PAR19X12L for indoor stage applications and the IP65-rated PAR12X20H-IP for outdoor and mixed-environment use. Packages include all stands, cabling, and mounting hardware, and are designed to be operated by non-technical staff without a dedicated lighting operator.

Edwards Sound Systems is an Auckland-based AV company supplying and installing permanent LED screens for schools, churches, and venues across the wider Auckland region. Using Lampro LED panels with GOB (Glue-on-Board) pixel protection and front-access maintenance design, Edwards installs custom-manufactured screens sized to each venue’s exact requirements. Pixel pitch options of P2.6–P3.9 suit indoor viewing distances of 2.6 metres and above, covering standard school hall and church seating depths. The full installation is handled by an in-house team including a licensed electrician, carpenters, programmers, and technicians. Lead time from order is approximately eight to ten weeks, with on-site installation and commissioning completed in approximately two days.
