Blaze PowerZone™ Install Power Amplifiers
Technical Data Sheet
Overview
The Blaze PowerZone™ series of install power amplifiers are designed to provide affordable, versatile, and reliable high-performance audio power. These amplifiers are suitable for a wide range of applications including bars and cafes, restaurants, retail stores, fitness centers, hotels, education sites, corporate environments, and houses of worship.
Key Features
- All channels deliver high & low impedance loads, allowing one amplifier to replace two and saving costs and installation time.
- Total power is automatically shared across the output channels (model-specific feature), allowing power to be utilized where needed.
- Ultra-compact form factor: The ½ rack PowerZone™ amplifiers are small and neat, enabling installation in spaces where other brands cannot fit.
- Consolidate products and brands: Simplifies sourcing multiple amplifiers, as PowerZone™ can be used on many different install sites.
- Easy to configure DIP Switches: Allow on-site setup and include a front panel control lock to prevent unwanted changes.
- GPIO interface: Enables the addition of a standard remote control (potentiometer) to the system.
- Class-leading energy efficiency: Provides day-to-day energy savings and long-term low cost of ownership.
- Pascal's UMAC™ Class-D amplifier technology: Features market-proven, ultra-reliable U-PRO amp modules.
- PowerZone™ quality and reliability are backed by a 5-year warranty.
