MODEL M4800 (PZA)

8-channel DSP matrix amplifier

8 channels, up to 4 zones
100 W at 8 ohms, 200 W at 4 ohms
Control system integration
Built-in matrix that delivers analog or digital audio to any area

AudioControl’s Director® M Series amplifiers are among the world’s most powerful and flexible multi-zone amplifiers, designed exclusively for commercial and residential custom integrators. In the most demanding applications for all system amplification and IP programmable signal processing tasks, the Director® M Series Model M4800 has the power and flexibility to operate as a standalone DSP amplifier or partner with third-party control systems from companies such as Control4, Crestron, RTI, and Savant. Configure graphic and parametric EQ, crossover points, volume adjustments, zone grouping, network monitoring, and more using the onboard DSP.

Eight channels of 100 watts into 8 ohms convert to 200 watts per channel with 4 ohm speaker loads. When two channels bridge the outputs, that single channel produces 400 watts into 8 ohms – more than enough power for even the most demanding speaker setups. Four coaxial/TOSLINK digital input buses, along with four analog zone inputs, can be matrix-connected to any zone or all zone outputs. Built-in speaker profiles from AudioControl’s Sound Partners™ program members offer tonally balanced, DSP-optimized M Series speaker calibrations from a growing list of prominent speaker manufacturers.
