Triad 8-zone 16-channel power amplifier

Triad Power Amplifiers with Triad speakers, Triad Audio Matrix Switches and Control4 EA Series Entertainment and Automation Controllers deliver a fantastic high-resolution audio experience throughout the home.

Powerful 100W per channel driven by ICE power modules to deliver a dynamic, high-resolution audio experience.

Bridgeable outputs provide double the amplification for areas that require more power.

Class-D amplification runs cool, allowing you to stack one amplifier on top of another.

Fast wake-from-standby using 12V trigger for time-sensitive audio announcements and quick audio-zone startup.

Three power mode control options, 12V trigger, audio sensing, or always on.

Standby mode saves energy when not in use.

Each zone can be independently linked to the global audio input to share one input across multiple sets of speakers.

Share an audio source across multiple power amplifiers using the global audio output.

Over-current and thermal protections prevent damage due to short circuits, incorrect wiring or heat.

Rack-mount ears included.
