Crestron announces the 6-zone "Plus Two" CTN-AMP-6X100 amplifier-- a combination of features from the CNX-PAD8 and Adagio Audio Expander (AAE) creating a small to mid-size whole-home audio distribution solution.
It features 12 inputs, 4 stereo-line outputs, ethernet connectivity and pre-amp controls, and is capable of 100W for each of the 6 amplified zones (with 50W per channel at 8 ohms or 75W per channel at 4 ohms). Installers can also bridge outputs to deliver 150W per channel at 8 ohms to drive an in-wall subwoofer or increased stereo power.
Two line-level outputs mirror amplified channels 5 and 6 for additional amplification, such as powered sub-woofers, boosting performance in large or open spaces. Independent pre-amp style controls allow the adjustment of each of the 12 sources with volume, bass, treble, balance, loudness, mute and mono settings.
As well as the 6 amplified room outputs the C2N-AMP-6X100 includes 2 independent line-level outputs to support additional rooms for a total of 8. Each auxiliary output provides a stereo line-level connection with independent controls, providing a means for integrating surround sound rooms and outdoor spaces into whole home audio systems.
The C2N-AMP-6X100 is shipping now.
