The Sonance DSP 8-130 MKIII Amplifier sets a new standard in multi-zone audio amplification, combining powerful performance, advanced digital signal processing, and professional-grade flexibility. Designed for demanding residential and commercial installations, this 8-channel Class-D amplifier delivers robust power with up to 130 W RMS per channel at 8 Ω and 145 W per channel at 4 Ω, while bridged outputs allow even higher power for subwoofers or specialty zones.
At the core of the unit is high-resolution DSP with a 24-bit/96 kHz DAC, capable of up to 4608 kbps playback, giving installers and integrators unparalleled control over EQ, crossover, and room tuning. Connectivity is comprehensive, with line inputs, loop outputs, IP and IR control, voltage triggers, and an Ethernet port for network-based management.
The amplifier also includes SonARCâ„¢ v2 support for easy remote configuration and speaker-specific presets that help optimize performance based on the unique acoustic characteristics of each room. Built with reliability in mind, it features robust protection circuitry against over-current, overheating, and voltage instability.
Rack-ready and space-saving with a compact 1U chassis, removable feet, and included rack ears, the DSP 8-130 MKIII fits seamlessly into custom AV setups, multi-room audio systems, and professional sound installations.
Whether powering distributed whole-home audio, dedicated listening zones, or commercial environments, this amplifier delivers consistent, high-fidelity sound and installation-friendly features that professional integrators demand.
