warm, clean power to every room. The
flexibility of both stereo and mono busing
makes it easy to set up multiple rooms of
music with just the flick of a switch. Add
some more advanced features like audio
sensing, paired channel trigger inputs, a
system trigger input and output and
independent channel gain adjustments, and
what you get is the premier amplifier in its
price range.
And Then Some
Bus loop outputs allow for easy connection
to additional amplifiers or A/V receivers. Six
trigger inputs allow each pair of channels to
