Crestron Ships New Six-Zone Distributed Audio Amp

Crestron’screstron-distribaudio-1114 new Six Zone “Plus Two” Amplifier (C2N-AMP-6X100) is now shipping. Designed specifically for mid-size home systems, the C2N-AMP-6X100 has 12 inputs, four stereo-line outputs, Ethernet connectivity and pre-amp controls.

Each room output on the C2N-AMP-6X100 is capable of 100 watts for each of the six amplified zones. That’s 50 Watts per channel at 8 ohms or 75 watts per channel at 4 ohms — perfect for driving a house full of Crestron speakers. Outputs also may be bridged to deliver a robust 150 watts per channel at 8 ohms to drive an in-wall subwoofer or for increased stereo power.

Two line-level outputs mirror amplified channels 5 and 6, enabling additional amplification, such as powered sub-woofers, to boost performance in large or open spaces. Listeners can select any of the 12 sources from any room in the house and tailor the sound to individual tastes using independent pre-amp style controls for volume, bass, treble, balance, loudness, mute and mono settings.

In addition to its six amplified room outputs, the C2N-AMP-6X100 also includes two independent line-level outputs to support additional rooms for a total of eight. Each auxiliary output provides a stereo line-level connection with independent controls, providing an idea solution for integrating surround sound rooms and outdoor spaces into whole home audio systems.

Here are all the specs.
