SUPPORTED MODEL

• TS-PAMP8-100 8-Zone Power Amplifier

BOX CONTENTS

• 8-Zone Power Amplifier
• IEC power cable
• Phoenix speaker connectors
• Rack-mount ears
• Mono 3.5mm 12V trigger cable

FEATURES

• Powerful amplification driven by ICEpower modules delivers a dynamic,
high-resolution audio experience
• Class-D amplification runs cool allowing you to stack one amplifier on
top of the other
• Bridgeable outputs provide double the amplification for areas that
require more amplifier power
• 1U rack height takes up half the rack space of other multi-room audio
amplifiers
• Fast wake from standby using 12V trigger from Triad Audio Matrix
Switches—ideal for time-sensitive audio announcements and quick
audio zone turn on
• Standby mode saves energy by muting audio when not in use
• Three power mode control options—12V trigger, audio sensing or
always on
• Global input allows a single audio input to be linked to multiple
amplifier outputs with a simple dip switch
• Global output allows you to chain multiple amplifiers together to create
large audio zones
• Over-current protection prevents amplifier channels from overloading
due to short circuits or incorrect wiring

Connects to trigger output of audio matrix or other 12V trigger device.
Trigger output chains 12V control to another amplifier trigger input.
• GLOBAL OUT—RCA connectors for a global line-level stereo audio out.

Outputs whatever audio device is plugged into Zone 1 Input/GLOBAL IN.
• Zone 1 input/GLOBAL IN—RCA connectors for stereo line in. Can be

used as a global audio input or input for zone 1. GAIN dial is used to
adjust input level for zone 1 or global in. The recommended starting gain
level is 6. CLIP LED turns red when input gain is too high, causing the
amplifier zone to clip.
• Zone 2-8 input—RCA connectors for stereo line in for zones 2-8. GAIN
E
dial is used to adjust input level for each zone. The recommended
starting gain level is 6. CLIP LED turns red when input gain is too high
for each zone, causing the amplifier zone to clip.
• BRIDGE MODE—Set switches to On to bridge left/right amplifier
F
channels for a zone. When channels are bridged, use the RCA input
labeled BRIDGE.
• LINK TO GLOBAL INPUT—Set switches to On to link a zone to the
G
GLOBAL IN.
• POWER MODE—Set to ON/12V/AUDIO to configure the amplifier's
H
power setting.
• ZONE OUTPUTS—Phoenix connector for speaker wiring connections for
I
each zone.
