ADI | Snap One is targeting large-scale outdoor speaker installations with the introduction of its new line of Episode Hybrid Amplifiers.
The amplifiers offer more power than previous models with 1200W and 2400W units that expand the options and configurations available to customers.
Michael Buratto, director of product management for Episode Multi-Room Audio at Snap One, said: “As a combined business, the size and scope of our outdoor audio systems is expanding, and our customers increasingly need a powerful amplifier to deliver the exceptional outdoor and indoor listening experiences their clients expect.
“Today’s end-users are no longer willing to sacrifice quality when it comes to outdoor entertainment – they want their outdoor audio systems to match the sound quality of their indoor setups.
“The new and improved Hybrid Amps are designed to meet this dual need, along with providing features that enhance versatility and simplify the installation and configuration process.”
The Episode Hybrid Amps support both 70V and 8-ohm systems, giving customers the flexibility to mix and match speakers and subwoofers, including Episode’s outdoor Surroundscape speakers and Radiance speakers. Customers can also customize DSP settings for each project using a web-based interface or the amp’s high resolution front panel display. Inputs and outputs are fully adjustable to accommodate various source types and levels, from balanced and RCA analogue inputs, to digital coax inputs.
The redesigned Episode Hybrid Amps pair seamlessly with Episode’s Surroundscape speakers and Radiance speakers and enhances the ADI and Snap One Outdoor Solutions Suite, which includes TVs, lighting and networking.
The Episode Hybrid Amps are now available to ADI | Snap One customers internationally through distribution channels as well as through SnapAV.com, and Control4.com.
