Sonance PowerZone Connect 1008 – 8-Channel 1RU DSP Amplifier
Product Overview
The Sonance PowerZone Connect 1008 is an 8-channel, 1RU amplifier delivering 1000W of total system power with built-in DSP, sitting between the compact 508 and the higher-power 6008 in the PowerZone Connect lineup. It is intended for mid-sized commercial zones that need more headroom than an entry-level amplifier but do not require a full 2U chassis. Hybrid Lo-Z/Hi-Z channel operation lets integrators standardize on a single amplifier across mixed speaker types.
Product Description
Each of the 8 channels on the PowerZone Connect 1008 delivers 125W at 4 or 8 ohms, or the unit can be reconfigured to 4 channels at 250W for 70V/100V distributed speaker runs, all within a single rack unit chassis. This Sonance amplifier uses the same PowerZone Control web application found across the Connect family, giving full-matrix DSP configuration, EQ, and routing without a separate software installation. S/PDIF digital input and output support passthrough to additional amplifiers, and configurable GPIO allows wall controller or automation system integration. Pascal UMAC Class-D amplification keeps the 1008 ErP and ENERGY STAR compliant while delivering consistent output in a compact footprint. It is a natural companion to commercial speakers installed across multiple zones in a single facility. A 5-year warranty covers the amplifier.
