Amplifier Blaze Audio PowerZone Connect 1008

The Blaze Audio PowerZone Connect 1008 is a powerful eight-channel Class D DSP amplifier designed for professional installations with high demands on flexibility, sound quality, and reliability. With a total power output of 1000 watts and the ability to automatically redistribute the load between channels (PowerShare), this amplifier is ideal for large multi-zone systems.

The PowerZone Connect 1008 works with both low-impedance (4–16 ohms) and high-voltage (70/100 V) speaker systems, allowing you to freely combine load types in a single enclosure. The built-in DSP module is controlled via PowerZone™ Control, an intuitive web interface that offers a wide range of configuration options: EQ, routing, delay, speaker presets, source blending, automatic level reduction (ducking), priority signals, and more.

The amplifier has a 1U form factor across the full width of the rack, allowing installation even in confined spaces. The platform is built on Pascal UMAC™, one of the most efficient amplification technologies, providing ultra-low distortion and high SNR (>100 dB). Additional features include S/PDIF I/O, configurable GPIO, energy efficiency in standby mode (<0.5 W), and a universal power supply with PFC.

PowerZone Connect 1008 is a scalable solution for conference rooms, hotels, educational and religious institutions where high-quality multi-channel sound is required.
