Episode EA-STREAM-PRE-4 4-zone Streaming Preamp

Product Description

The EPISODE EA-STREAM-PRE-4 is a 4-zone streaming preamplifier designed for structured audio distribution systems. It serves as the signal-processing and source-management hub in a multi-zone audio installation, routing and controlling audio signals to up to four independent zones. Licensed low-voltage integrators and audio-video installation technicians are the primary trade installing this unit. It is part of the Episode Ryff platform, purpose-built for residential and light-commercial distributed audio applications where independent zone control and source streaming are required.

The EA-STREAM-PRE-4 is suited for new construction and retrofit installations requiring centralized audio distribution to multiple rooms or zones. It fits into rack-mount or equipment-closet deployments typical of custom AV integration projects. Installers working in residential single-family homes, multi-room MDU units, or small commercial environments will find this unit appropriate where four zones of independently managed audio output are needed.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or AV integration technician familiar with structured wiring and distributed audio systems. De-energize all connected amplifiers and source equipment before making signal connections at the preamplifier. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and the manufacturer data sheet for input and output termination details. Do not apply line-voltage power to low-voltage signal ports.
