Crestron starts shipping a pair of Avia multi-channel amps-- the AMP-8075 and AMP-8150, designed to work natively with Crestron Avia DSPs, with 8 channels of audio power in a single rack space.
The amplifiers offer a choice of 75 or 150W per channel, with each channel individually configurable for either low-Z (4/8 ohm) or high-Z (70 or 100V). They are networkable for configuration, monitoring and control via Avia Audio Tool software, Crestron control system or Crestron Fusion Cloud.
The amps are Class D and feature front panel status indication and output metres. The rear panels include balanced inputs and level adjustments. Crestron says the internal universal power supply with power factor correction ensures consistent performance with varying line voltages.
Installers can use the Avia Audio Tool for complete system configuration. The software is designed for drag and drop programming of channel strip objects (from the DSP and amplifier) for control and to generate a touchscreen UI.
