Yamaha 8-Channel Multi-Room Amplifier - XDAAMP5400RKBL

Yamaha XDA-AMP5400RK Amplifier 8-Channel Multi-Room

Specially designed for custom integration of whole home audio systems, the "AMP" serves as a companion amplifier for the Yamaha XDA-QS5400RK to expand speaker coverage and/or increase power output. It may also be used to expand secondary zone speaker coverage for Yamaha AV receivers that have Zone pre outs.

Key Features

• Works together with Yamaha XDA-QS5400RK to expand speaker coverage in custom integrated multi-room audio systems
• Eight channels of audiophile-grade Class D amplification, bridgeable and 4-ohm capable, featuring a unique ground loop/hum-free circuit design
• Four audio buses and included jumpers allow for wide variety of speaker configurations
• Interlocks power on/off with XDA-QS5400RK via Trigger I/O
• Integration-friendly features include audio sensing inputs, IR I/O and more
• 1U high, rack-wide enclosure; removable rack ears and faceplate included

Features

• The Perfect Whole Home Audio Companion
  • Sonic Soul Mates
    The XDA-AMP5400RK – the "AMP" – was conceived as a companion to the Yamaha XDA-QS5400RK as a way to provide additional speaker coverage and/or additional speaker output power in a custom integrated multi-room home audio system. It also pairs nicely with Yamaha AV receivers that offer Zone pre outs.
  • Slim Yet Powerful
    The AMP packs eight channels of audiophile-grade amplification into a remarkably-slim 1U-high enclosure, allowing you to fully optimize your valuable rack real estate.
  • Phenomenal Flexibility
    Feed up to four sources from QS pre outs into the AMP – its four audio I/O buses can be patched together to handle a wide array of speaker/zone configurations. The AMP comes with a set of jumper plugs and cables, making it ultra-versatile right out of the box. The audio outs can alternatively be used to connect powered subwoofers or subwoofer amps.
  • More Power on Demand
    Each of the four amplifier zones is also bridgeable, giving you the option to increase power output to select speakers if needed.
• Engineered to Sound Extraordinary
  • Audiophile-Grade Amplification
    The AMP employs ultra-efficient ICEpower integrated circuits to deliver eight channels of pristine, musically-dynamic digital amplification 50 watts/channel (8 ohms) with an outstanding 5 Hz to 40 kHz (+0/-3 dB) frequency response and 108 dB signal-to-noise ratio. It is 4 ohm capable at 100 watts/channel and bridgeable to 200 watts/channel (8 ohms).
  • Goodbye Ground Loop Hum
    The curse of the custom integrator: ground loop hum, a common and vexing side effect of connecting a bunch of electronics together in a rack. The AMP takes care of it with a brilliantly-engineered differential circuit design. Sometimes it’s what you don’t hear that sounds the most amazing.
  • High-Performance under the Hood
    The AMP employs a balanced audio circuit design and PML capacitors, which are also used in our flagship AVENTAGE AV separates. The result: greater realism and expressiveness for all of your favorite music.
• Custom-Built for Custom
  • Versatile Installation
    Mount it in a rack with the included ears or remove the ears for shelf installations. The included magnetic faceplate discourages tampering and provides the perfect cosmetic finish.
  • Harmonious Control
    When a QS and AMP are used together, simply wire the trigger ports to automatically power on/off the desired amplifier zones – no additional control interface is needed. The AMP also works great as a companion to an AVENTAGE AV receiver. When using the AMP with other sources, audio sensing inputs and an infrared I/O provide additional control flexibility.
  • Custom-Friendly Connectivity
    The AMP is truly made for custom integration, with Euroblock-style speaker connectors and a detachable AC cable for smart connectivity.
