For mange år siden så Parasound at konkurrerende flerkanalsforsterkere tilbø lav effekt, manglet nødvendige bekvemmelighetsfunksjoner og til og med være upålitelige. Som Richard Schram (Direktør hos Parasound) sa: "første gang du besøker et jobbsted for å erstatte den upålitelige distribusjonsforsterkeren, taper du fortjenesten; andre gang mister du troverdigheten din. ZoneMaster-linjen til Parasound tilbyr det konkurrentene mangler. Den mest betydningsfulle ZM 12-forbedringen: Zone 1 (kanal 1 og 2) tilbyr en kraftig oppgradering til 120 watt per kanal i 8 ohm og 150 watt per kanal i 4 eller 2 ohm.
- Our new ZoneMaster models are very similar in their feature sets, differing mainly in size and number of channels.
- Universal amplifier for applications from 60 to 150 watts
- Zone 1 (channel 1&2) are higher power for more demanding applications
- 24 speaker connections (A and B outputs for all 12 channels)
- High current for stable operation at 2 Ohms
- Class AB input stage plus premium Class D power stage
- Independent audio sensing triggers, one for each zone
- 6 Independent 12 volt trigger inputs, one for each zone
- Looping 12 volt trigger outputs for each zone
- Master 12 volt trigger input to turn all zones on-off
- Speaker level input for expanding systems w/out pre out jacks
- Two bus inputs can be routed to any zone
- Bus loop output jacks for passing audio to another amp
- Summed Mono mode combines L and R for single speaker applications
- Separate level controls for all twelve channels
- Detachable speaker connectors accept up to 12 gauge wire
- Short circuit and overheat protection with front panel indicators
- 0.5 watt standby power consumption meets Energy Star & EU specs
- Compact 2U chassis
Power Output : Zone 1 (Channel 1–2)
