Blaze by Sonance PowerZone Connect 122 – 125W 2-Channel DSP Install Amplifier

Product Overview

The Blaze by Sonance PowerZone Connect 122 is the entry-level model in the PowerZone Connect series: a 125W, 2-channel DSP-enabled install amplifier in a compact 1U rack-mount form factor, designed for permanent commercial audio installations. Delivering 2 x 60W into 4Ω, this networkable Class-D commercial audio amplifier is suited to small commercial spaces where two independent audio zones, built-in DSP, and remote management via PowerZone Control are required without Dante network audio. The 10/100 Ethernet connection enables full remote configuration and monitoring through PowerZone Control software. It is a straightforward, professionally managed amplifier for integrators specifying background music and paging in smaller commercial environments.

Product Description

The PowerZone Connect 122 delivers two independent channels of Class-D amplification at 60W each into 4Ω, totaling 125W from a single 1U rack space. It is the entry point into the PowerZone Connect series, offering the full DSP and remote management capabilities of the platform in a compact, affordable package suited to small commercial deployments.

Built-in matrix DSP provides per-channel EQ, crossover, delay, and dynamics processing without requiring external processing hardware. For small-scale commercial installations — a boutique retail space, a small café, a reception area, or a single-room office — the 122 provides everything needed to commission and operate a professionally managed audio system.

Remote management is provided by PowerZone Control, the web and app-based platform from Blaze by Sonance. Once commissioned, any networked device can access the amplifier’s configuration, level control, routing, and system monitoring interface over the 10/100 Ethernet connection. This eliminates the need for site visits to make routine adjustments after installation.

Balanced and unbalanced analog inputs accommodate common local audio sources, and Euroblock speaker output connectors provide secure, professional cable termination for permanent wiring. The Class-D design keeps the chassis cool and power consumption low, supporting reliable 24/7 operation. The 122 does not include Dante; for Dante-enabled models, see the PowerZone Connect 122D — and for the complete range, visit the Blaze by Sonance collection at Creation Networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the PowerZone Connect 122 support Dante network audio?
No. The 122 uses 10/100 Ethernet for control and monitoring only via PowerZone Control. For Dante-enabled two-channel amplification, see the PowerZone Connect 122D.

Does the 122 need an external DSP unit?
No. The built-in matrix DSP handles per-channel EQ, crossover, delay, and dynamics. External signal processing hardware is not required for standard small commercial install applications.

What is the difference between the 122 and the 252?
Both are 2-channel non-Dante DSP amplifiers with Ethernet control. The 122 delivers 2 x 60W while the 252 delivers 2 x 125W. The 122 is the appropriate choice for smaller spaces with modest SPL requirements.

How is the amplifier configured after installation?
Via PowerZone Control, accessible from any networked device through a web browser or app. No dedicated control hardware is required; adjustments can be made remotely at any time.

What impedance loads does the 122 support?
The 122 is rated at 2 x 60W into 4Ω. Consult the official Blaze by Sonance datasheet for full impedance specifications and minimum load requirements.

Is the PowerZone Connect 122 compatible with 70V/100V distributed speaker systems?
Consult the official Blaze by Sonance datasheet or contact Creation Networks to confirm 70V/100V compatibility for your specific application.

What warranty is included with the 122?
Warranty terms are set by Blaze by Sonance. Contact Creation Networks for warranty details, registration, and post-sale technical support.

Where can I view the complete PowerZone Connect product line?
