Integrated Audiophile Amplifier
The amplifiers in the SWAMP-24X8 use a custom hybrid amplifier design that
achieves the warmth and neutrality of a fine Class AB amplifier with all of the
efficiency benefits of modern Class D.
Each of the SWAMP-24X8’s 16 channels (configured as eight stereo zones) delivers
140 watts into 8 ohms, or 240 watts into 4 ohms. For large, noisy areas around the
pool or patio, or in a game room or gym, any two adjacent outputs can be bridged
(Zone 1 + Zone 2, Zone 3 + Zone 4, Zone 5 + Zone 6, Zone 7 + Zone 8) to produce
400 watts per channel at 8 ohms. The SWAMP-24X8 uses only four rack spaces
while maintaining effective cooling with no need for extra clearance above or below.
Each zone is individually controllable, saving further energy by turning off any
unused channels.
24x8 Matrix Switcher
Designed with flexibility and expansion in mind, the Sonnex Multiroom Audio
System provides numerous inputs to manage a multitude of stereo audio sources,
both analog and digital.
•
A total of 24 discrete inputs are spread across an array of connectors,
including unbalanced RCA, balanced terminal blocks, and S/PDIF coaxial.
Sonnex easily handles the multizone outputs from a Crestron ADMS
Intermedia Delivery System™ or TunerRack Modular Multi-Tuner
(CEN-TRACK), plus digital television receivers and other devices.
•
Audio return channels are easily added using Crestron AUD-EXT Audio
Extenders to receive signals from remote AV receivers located up to 2000
feet (610 m) away.
• Sonnex even accepts a direct input from the CEN-IDOCV Interface for
iPod ® and other Crestron Home ® CAT5 Balanced sources without requiring
a separate converter. 1
For ease of use, descriptive names for every source input and zone output can be
displayed on the front panel LCD and pushbuttons. Via the front panel controls, or
from a Crestron touch screen or remote, any input can be selected for listening in any
zone or group. Additional features include mono summing for distribution to non-
stereo zones, scaling factor settings for defining minimum and maximum volume
levels, source signal detection, and source gain compensation to assure a consistent
level when switching between disparate sources.
Bonus Zones
In addition to its eight amplified zone outputs, the SWAMP-24X8 provides two
additional S/PDIF digital outputs for sharing stereo sources with centralized audio
processors and AV receivers. 2 These outputs can even be extended to feed remote
AV receivers anywhere in the house using AUD-EXT Audio Extenders.
1. CH (Crestron Home) CAT5 balanced audio is supported using balanced inputs 13 – 16. All other
inputs require an ABAR-1 CAT5 Balanced Audio Receiver.
2. Additional S/PDIF and analog line outputs may be added using the SWE-8 Sonnex Multiroom Audio
Unamplified Expander (sold separately).
