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

Product Overview

The Blaze by Sonance PowerZone Connect 122D is a compact DSP-enabled install amplifier delivering 125W across two channels in a 1U rack-mount chassis, with Dante network audio support for IP-based audio distribution. Designed for permanent commercial installation, this networkable Class-D commercial audio amplifier suits small-to-medium spaces where Dante-enabled install amplifier capability is needed without large channel counts. Configuration and monitoring are managed remotely through PowerZone Control software via the onboard 10/100 Ethernet port. It is an efficient, professionally managed solution for conference rooms, small boardrooms, and distributed background music zones.

Product Description

The PowerZone Connect 122D delivers 125W of total output power in two channels from a single 1U rack space. It is the entry-level Dante model in the PowerZone Connect series, providing AES67-compliant Dante network audio alongside a full built-in matrix DSP — covering EQ, crossover, delay, and dynamics without requiring an external processing unit.

Dante support lets audio travel across a standard IP network from any compatible source device, making the 122D a practical fit for spaces that are part of a larger Dante infrastructure but have modest amplification needs. A single Cat5e/Cat6 connection carries both network audio and Ethernet-based control.

PowerZone Control, the web and app-based management platform from Blaze by Sonance, gives integrators and facility staff remote access to routing, EQ, levels, and system monitoring without requiring physical access to the rack. This is especially useful in installations where the equipment room is not easily accessible during business hours.

Balanced and unbalanced analog inputs accommodate local sources, while Euroblock speaker output connectors provide secure, permanent termination. Class-D amplifier topology keeps heat output low, supporting continuous commercial operation. View the complete Blaze by Sonance catalog at Creation Networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PowerZone Connect 122D compatible with any Dante-enabled source device?
Yes. The 122D is AES67-compliant and interoperates with any Dante-enabled device on the same network, including media players, signal processors, and Dante-enabled mixers.

Does the 122D need an external DSP?
No. The built-in matrix DSP includes EQ, crossover, delay, and dynamics. For most two-channel commercial install applications, no external processor is needed.

How is the amplifier configured and monitored?
Through PowerZone Control, Blaze by Sonance's web and app-based platform. Any networked device with a browser or the app can access configuration and monitoring without dedicated control hardware on-site.

Can Dante audio and control share the same network connection?
Yes. A single Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet connection handles both Dante audio transport and Ethernet-based management via PowerZone Control.

What is the difference between the 122D and the 504D?
The 504D delivers 500W across two channels, while the 122D provides 125W across two channels. Both include Dante and built-in DSP; the 504D is suited to higher-output applications.

Is the 122D appropriate for 70V/100V distributed speaker systems?
Consult the official Blaze by Sonance datasheet or contact Creation Networks to confirm 70V/100V transformer support for your application.

What warranty is included?
Warranty terms are set by Blaze by Sonance. Contact Creation Networks for warranty details, registration, and technical support.
