Episode EA-COM-AMP-8D-160 Business Music 8x160W Amplifier, 70-100V, 8-4 Ohms

The Episode EA-COM-AMP-8D-160 is an eight-channel business music amplifier built for commercial installs such as corporate buildings. Its outputs can be set to 70V, 100V, 8 ohm or 4 ohm, and its channels share power dynamically, so it can serve mixed speaker zones from a single 1U rack unit. Built-in EQ and compression DSP with matrixing, plus IP control and OvrC support, make it a good fit for integrators who want remote management.

Key features

• Each output can be set to 70V, 100V, 8-ohm or 4-ohm operation.
• Output ranges from 80W to 350W per channel, with power shared dynamically across channels.
• Built-in EQ and compression DSP includes matrixing.
• A 2-pin contact closure handles input and output control as well as muting, and IP control supports automation and installation.
• OvrC compatibility allows remote monitoring and configuration.

Installation notes

Mount the amplifier in a rack with enough clearance around it for airflow, and keep it in a dry location, since it is rated for non-condensing humidity only. Confirm the output mode (70V, 100V, 8 ohm or 4 ohm) for each channel against the connected speaker load before powering up, then use the lockout once commissioning is complete.
