Harman Luxury Audio Group has announced that its new JBL DA Series distribution amplifiers are now available in New Zealand.
Designed to pair seamlessly with any JBL architectural loudspeaker or other residential loudspeakers, the DA850 (8-channel) and DA1650 (16-channel) deliver four and eight zones of audio respectively, in a compact 1U chassis. Both models offer bridgeable outputs to handle high-power demands.
Each channel of the DA850 and DA1650 delivers 50W into 8ohm loads and 110W into 4ohm loads. When bridged, the output increases to 185W into 8ohm loads.
The amplifiers also offer flexible audio routing: each zone can have its own independent audio source, or a single source can be shared across all zones via the global audio input. Zones sharing a common source can be expanded across multiple amplifiers using the global audio output.
The DA amplifiers come with three power mode control options – 12V trigger, audio-sensing inputs, and always on – and feature protection against overcurrent and thermal issues to prevent potential speaker damage. Additional features include local and bus inputs, as well as channel output level controls.
The JBL DA850 8-channel and DA1650 16-channel distribution amplifiers are now available to purchase in New Zealand through JBL Synthesis distributor JPRO and authorised resellers.
