and

inexpensive car audio amp chips - and they sound like it. The Zamp Quattro uses a class AB input stage to

drive advanced Class D modules which use high-grade parts throughout. The result is sound

surpasses many full-size power amps

. The Zamp Quattro’s numerous advantages include higher

quality that

power output with less heat, unconditional stability with low impedance speaker loads and effective

protection from accidentally short-circuited speaker wires.

The Zamp Quattro can expand any audio system because we’ve included speaker level inputs to integrate

stereo receivers that don’t have preamp outputs. An input bus switch makes it easy for Zone 1 and Zone

2 to play the same source. Level controls for each channel make volume setup easy and are rear-

mounted to prevent client tampering. The speaker terminals accept up to 12AWG wire and are

removable to make installation easier. Automatic turn on options include a 12-volt input and an audio

trigger with two sensitivity settings.

The Parasound Zamp Quattro is finished in anodized black with rack-mount capability. Optional

accessories include a matching blank panel to rack mount a single unit in a standard rack and a panel

coupler to rack mount any two Z Custom models. The half-rack width Zrack is also available to mount up

to five Z-Custom components.

Typical Zamp Quattro Applications

Power multiple zones from an AV receiver

Combine with 1 or 2 Sonos® Connects® to power multiple zones

Expand zones from any multi-room audio controller

Integrate with older or low-priced stereo receivers without pre-outs

Rack mount four Zamp Quattros for 16 channels in 2 rack spaces

Almost all surround sound receivers

have outputs for at least one extra zone

and many have two. The Zamp Quattro

is a great way to take advantage of

these extra Zones and power additional

rooms of audio.

Stereo receivers and older home

theater receivers often don’t have

preamp outputs and that is why the

Zamp Quattro includes speaker level

inputs. With the addition of these

speakers level inputs any existing audio

system can be expanded with additional

rooms of audio.

The Zamp Quattro is a great companion

to one or two Sonos® Connects. With

just one Connect® you can set the ZONE

2 SOURCE SELECT switch so that both

zones will play from one Connect®.

With two Connects you can have two

zones that play music independently.

6 Zamp Quattros only occupy 3 rack

spaces but can power 24 speakers in 12

independent rooms with a total of
