Powersoft Armonia Plus Manual
ArmoníaPlus is a professional audio system design, control, and monitoring software developed by Powersoft. Unlike traditional amplifier control software, it uses a workflow-driven approach to manage complex sound systems through a series of logical steps: Design, Config, Tune, and Show. Core Workflow and Functionality
The software is divided into two primary environments, known as "Skins," to cater to different industry needs:
Install Skin: Specifically designed for system integrators, focusing on source and zone management. It allows for the creation of "Source Objects" (mono, stereo, or multichannel) that can be dynamically patched to various zones.
Touring Skin: Tailored for live sound, offering an intuitive interface for deploying large-scale touring systems and accessing a library of over 1,000 speaker presets. Essential Setup Steps
According to the Dynamic Music Distribution Quick Guide and other documentation, the typical manual process for setting up a system involves:
Adding Hardware: Users select virtual representations of Powersoft amplifiers and speakers from the internal library. powersoft armonia plus manual
Linking: Virtual speakers are linked to specific amplifier output channels.
Configuring Sources and Zones: In installation projects, users define audio sources and group speakers into zones for independent control.
Matching: This critical step connects the virtual project to physical hardware detected on the network via the Discovery tool.
Tuning and Monitoring: Tools like HealthPlus provide real-time diagnostic data, including headroom, temperature, and speaker impedance. Advanced Control Features ArmoníaPlus supports sophisticated remote control options: Powersoft ArmoníaPlus System Design

1. Introduction
Armonía Plus is the proprietary system design, control, and monitoring suite for Powersoft’s D-Platform, X-Series, and M-Force transducers. This guide covers project setup, real-time control, and advanced DSP management.
Compatibility: Windows 10/11 (64-bit) | macOS 11+ (Intel/Apple Silicon) Go to Devices → Scan Network
Part 6: Advanced Monitoring & Telemetry (The "Peace of Mind" Chapter)
The official manual calls the Monitor page "the pilot's cockpit." You should open this window on a second screen during any live show.
Part 5: Working with Presets & the Global Preset Manager
Why reinvent the wheel? The manual's chapter on the Global Preset Manager is a time-saver.
How to save a preset:
- Right-click an amplifier in System View.
- Select "Store Preset."
- Choose "Global" (saves everything: DSP, routing, network name) or "Partial" (saves only EQ or only Delay).
Recalling via Damping Factor: A unique feature detailed in the manual is that Armonia Plus allows you to change the amplifier's damping factor per preset.
- High damping factor (e.g., >500): Tight, controlled bass (studio or home hi-fi).
- Low damping factor (e.g., 80-150): Instrumental, "loose" response for guitar cabs or vintage subs.
