Episode EA-HYB-AMP-2D-2400 Hybrid Power Amplifier

Product Description

The EPISODE EA-HYB-AMP-2D-2400 is a hybrid power amplifier designed for professional and commercial audio distribution systems. It supports both 70V distributed audio operation and standard 8-ohm direct speaker loads, giving installers flexibility across a wide range of system configurations. An onboard DSP (digital signal processor) allows signal routing, equalization, and level management without requiring an external processor. This amplifier is suited for installed audio environments where signal control and output switching between distributed and direct loads must be handled from a single unit.

The EA-HYB-AMP-2D-2400 is intended for commercial and large-format residential audio installations where 70V transformer-based speaker networks are common, such as conference rooms, hospitality venues, retail spaces, and multi-zone audio systems. Installers who need to support both 70V ceiling speaker arrays and 8-ohm zone speakers from one amplifier will find this unit appropriate for mixed-topology jobs. It is typically installed by low-voltage audio/video integrators and commercial sound contractors.

Key Features

• Dual output topology supports 70V distributed audio and 8-ohm direct loads
• Integrated DSP for onboard signal processing, EQ, and routing control
• Hybrid design reduces rack space by consolidating amplifier and processor functions
• Suitable for multi-zone commercial and large residential audio deployments
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed for use in 70V distributed audio systems and standard 8-ohm speaker installations. Consult the manufacturer datasheet and system design documentation to confirm compatibility with specific speaker loads, transformer taps, and control systems before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed audio/video systems integrator familiar with 70V distributed audio design and DSP configuration. Power down the amplifier and all connected equipment before making speaker or signal connections. Verify that total 70V speaker load impedance falls within the amplifier's rated capacity before energizing the system. Rack mounting and ventilation clearance requirements should be observed per the manufacturer datasheet.
