installers worldwide, we have managed present you with a truly powerful yet audiophile multi-zone amplifier with the following features:
!
Bridgeable output
!
Zone IR control with digital pad in each zone (included)
!
Décor friendly keypad
!
Four (4) built-in IR repeaters
!
Rear gain control limiter which limits the output gain of the zone pad.
!
Each zone has a LOCAL/BUS input audio selector
!
12V DC trigger
!
Individually driven amplifier blocks (each block is driven by a discrete complementary output class A/B stage with selected components)
!
Individual power supplies(bifilars) for power isolation, accuracy and better channel separation
There is no other multi-zone amplifier on the market with such features and power. Enjoy.
