Crestron DM-NAX-4ZSP – DM NAX 4-Zone Streaming Preamplifier

Product Overview

The Crestron DM-NAX-4ZSP is a DM NAX 4-zone networked audio streaming preamplifier that provides 4-zone audio distribution with network streaming and line-level (preamplified) outputs — for connection to external power amplifiers rather than directly driving speakers. It receives DM NAX network audio streams and distributes them to 4 independently controlled line-level zone outputs, integrating with Crestron 4-Series processors for per-zone volume, source routing, and automation. Suitable for installations where external power amplifiers are already present, are specified for higher output power than the DM-NAX-8ZSA provides, or where 70V/100V constant-voltage amplification is required for the zone speaker system.

Product Description

The DM-NAX-4ZSP fills the role of a multi-zone preamplifier and source router in the DM NAX audio ecosystem — it handles source streaming, zone routing, volume control, and EQ at line level, with external amplifiers providing the speaker drive power. This architecture suits installations with existing power amplifier infrastructure, 70V/100V commercial distributed speaker systems requiring dedicated constant-voltage amplifiers, or zones requiring higher power output than an integrated amplifier provides. The 4-zone configuration makes it appropriate for smaller multi-zone audio systems or as a companion to the DM-NAX-8ZSA in mixed-zone deployments where some zones are directly amplified and others require line-level output to external amplifiers. DM NAX network audio routing enables any source on the DM NAX network to be routed to any zone output by 4-Series control system command.

Key Features

• 4-Zone Line-Level Outputs: 4 independently controlled line-level zone outputs for connection to external power amplifiers — suitable for 70V/100V distributed speaker systems and installations with existing amplifier infrastructure.
• DM NAX Network Streaming: Receives any DM NAX network audio source — any source on the DM NAX network routes to any of the 4 zone outputs by control system command.
• Per-Zone Volume and EQ: Independent volume, source selection, mute, and equalization per zone from the Crestron 4-Series control system.
• Crestron 4-Series Integration: Native IP control for per-zone audio management, source routing, and occupancy-based automation.
• DM NAX Ecosystem Compatible: Works with DM-NAX-8ZSA, DM-NAX-16AIN, and other DM NAX platform components in scalable multi-zone audio architectures.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I specify DM-NAX-4ZSP over DM-NAX-8ZSA?
Specify the DM-NAX-4ZSP when zones require line-level output to external power amplifiers — for 70V/100V distributed speaker systems, zones with existing amplifier infrastructure, or zones requiring higher power output than the DM-NAX-8ZSA’s built-in amplification provides.
