Parasound expands the Z-Custom half-rack width component family with the Zamp Quattro-- a Class D 4-channel/2-zone power amplifier made with what the company says are Swedish high-grade parts.

It features additional output filtering, low impedance loads and protection from short-circuited speaker wires.

As well as RCA line input jacks the Quattro includes speaker-level inputs to integrate with receivers lacking pre-amp outputs. One can connect Channels 3 and 4 with RCA jacks or to a bus from Zone 1.

Rear-mounted level controls prevent client tampering, while automatic turn on options include a 12-volt and an ultra-sensitive audio trigger.

Speaker outputs are 10 amp terminal blocks for convenience when connecting speaker wires.

The Parasound Zamp Quattro is available as a black half-rack width unit. Optional accessories include matching black panel to rack mount a single set, panel coupler (to rack mount any two Z-Custom models) and the half-rack width Zrack (mounts up to 5 Z-custom components).
