The Denon HEOS Drive HS2 Multi‑Zone Amplifier is a powerful whole-home audio distribution solution designed for custom installations and multi-room sound systems. Built with eight channels of Class-D amplification, the unit delivers 60 watts per channel, allowing it to power speakers across up to four independent audio zones simultaneously.
With HEOS Built-In, the amplifier allows users to stream music wirelessly throughout the home using the HEOS app. You can play different music in each room or synchronize all zones for a whole-home listening experience. The system supports popular streaming services and internet radio, as well as playback from network storage devices and USB drives connected to each zone.
The HEOS Drive HS2 features flexible connectivity with optical, coaxial, and analog inputs, allowing multiple audio sources to be routed to any zone. Each zone includes stereo pre-outs and USB ports, making it easy to expand the system with additional amplifiers or local music storage.
