The Euroblock connectors can accept speaker wire up to 12AWG and can be removed from the amplifier for easier installation.Įach output channel also features RCA line-level output jacks, allowing you to use a separate, more powerful amplifier in any output zone or to send the audio to a self-amplified component, such as a television display.Įach zone is independently controlled at the zone using a wallplate keypad with lighted, soft-touch buttons. The amp uses Euroblock connectors for the speaker level outputs, which takes less space than push-grip connector terminals. Each amplifier can be individually bridged to produce 100 watts into an 8-ohm load. Additionally, a mute input allows you to mute each output channel using a single source trigger.Įach output channel features an amplifier that is capable of delivering 50 watts/channel into a 4-ohm load or 25 watts/channel into an 8-ohm load. A separate PA input allows you to override selected audio material and broadcast a single audio source to each connected zone. The six inputs are 2-channel stereo, with four line level inputs using RCA jacks, one input on a 3.5mm TRS jack, and a Toslink digital optical input. Each input channel can be independently directed to any of the output channels using the included remote control or the keypad controllers installed in each zone. This multizone controller is a 6圆 matrix with six stereo audio inputs and six outputs.

You can also just replace the russound controller keypads with small "do all" HSTouch screens providing a bit more functions relating to hardware and media stuff. After a couple of years used same said box for Russound controllers. Said box also is home for the Cat5e cables. I did wire up per room such that the 16/4 wires go to a single wall box where they go to the 16/2 cables to the speakers. I do have more than 12 zones of audio today. My base zoned audio wiring is utilizing 16/4 & 16/2 & cat5e done sometime in the 2000's baby steps doing one zone at a time it was a bit time consuming. It does involve installation of some wiring. It's a DIY for Homeseer waiting to happen. Its a simple and inexpensive zoned amplifier which could integrate nicely with Homeseer.

There also appears to be a lot of interest in that new Monoprice zoned amplifier. Two soundcards (one onboard of motherboard and one usb model)Īll speakers are directly wired to the XAP800 except the one to the garden, that's via RF

Connect any extra room into the conversation I use an extra Telco (TH2) so i can pick up the phone from any place in the house and conversate via the speakers or just make an outgoing phone call I do this with just one XAP800 box bought from eBay The 4 major rooms have mics so you can have controle of the system. Connect any room with any number of other rooms without disturbing the music in the others Audio to every room here in the house (9 rooms and incl. I am fiddling here with a whole house system for a few years and i just finished my version 3 of it.
