4-Zone 8-Channel Class D Amplifier

Our MX880 is a powerful 4-zone 8-channel digital amplifier for commercial and residential audio systems that require reliable power in multiple zones. A slim 2U, rack-mountable and cool-running multi-room amplifier, the MX880 includes eight channels rated at 80 Watts each at 4 ohms/50 watts at 8-ohms and can be configured as the main amplifier for an audio distribution system such as for background music, paging, and multi-zone audio or as an amplifier for 5.1 or 7.2 home theater surround sound systems.

Features:

High power four-zone/12-channel amplifier that supplies audiophile-level sound to distributed audio systems and home theaters

Provides 80 Watts per channel (1KHz into 4 Ohms), 50W Watts per channel (1KHz into 8 Ohms)

Uses highly-efficient Class D technology that runs cooler and keeps distortion low

Independent 4-zone control with global and independent zone triggering

Includes a bridged switch per each zone; both channels can be bridged internally with a single connection (left input) output (160 watts at 8 ohms)

Special protection circuitry safeguards the amplifier from thermal overload and short circuits

Includes Bus Global 12V Trigger and Bus Inputs/Outputs

Signal auto-sensing detects a signal to power up and powers down when a signal is not detected

Front-panel status indicators

Rack-mountable with hardware included

Bridgeable with Independent Zone Control

When used with an audio distribution preamp or matrix processor, each zone can independently drive one of several different sources by using each zone’s line audio inputs, and if a particular area needs higher power, then two zones can be bridged for 160 watts per channel x 2 at 8 ohms.

Designed for Installation Flexibility

The MX880 accommodates a wide range of audio applications with global and independent zone triggering, audio sense circuitry with adjustable gain/vol per channel, two Bus Inputs/Outputs and independent left and right line inputs per zone. With high performance and ultra-low distortion output, the MX880 Multi-Zone Amplifier provides unmatched sound quality for any audio system.

Class D Efficiency

Our MX880 uses highly efficient Class D digital circuitry. Class D amplifiers use output transistors that are fully turned on or off during operation, which keeps distortion low and efficiency is high (93%). Class D amps combine the best qualities of both class A and B technologies and are ideal for distributed audio and home theater setups because these amps run cooler than traditional amps and can easily run multiple pairs of speakers at a 4-ohm or 8-ohm load.
