Elac IS-AMP1650-BK 16 x 50W Multi-Zone Amplifier - Black

ELAC has a reputation for great sound, and now they're bringing it to whole-home audio. The IS-AMP1650-BK is a flexible solution that allows homeowners and custom audio integrators alike to power a large home audio system. This amp gives you ultra-flexible control over a multi-zone audio system using its web-based graphic user interface (GUI). This 16-channel amp can power stereo speaker pairs in up to eight different listening zones. Or you can bridge channel pairs to create a single, more powerful channel to drive more demanding speakers or a passive subwoofer. The amp has eight stereo pairs of analog RCA inputs assignable to one or more zones. Four pairs of RCA outputs let you feed connected sources to more amplifiers, receivers, or powered subwoofers. And eight sets of detachable Phoenix-style outputs let you connect your speakers using up to 12-gauge wire. Naming and assigning zones, directing output to other amps, and equalization are all handled by the GUI. If you have ELAC speakers, you can select model-specific EQ presets to optimize the sound. Or use the parametric equalizer to tweak the sound of each zone. You can even set high-pass and low-pass filters, great for zones with subwoofers.
