INTRODUCTION

The Triad 4-Zone and 8-Zone Power Amplifers deliver high-performance,

reliability, and robust amplification in a compact form factor—providing the

perfect solution for distributed audio systems. Fast wake-from-standby

time and high-resolution audio quality output make this amplifier worthy

of any audio solution. Seamless integration with the Triad Audio Matrix

Switches and other Triad Power Amplifiers provides you with an easily

configurable, fully featured audio distribution solution for any size home.

SUPPORTED MODELS

• TS-PAMP8-100 Triad 8-Zone Power Amplifier

• TS-PAMP4-100 Triad 4-Zone Power Amplifier

BOX CONTENTS

• 4 or 8-Zone Power Amplifier

• IEC power cable

• Phoenix-style speaker connectors

• Rack-mount ears and screws

• Mono 3.5 mm 12V trigger cable

FEATURES

• Powerful amplification driven by ICEpower modules delivers a dynamic,

high-resolution audio experience

• Class-D amplification runs cool allowing you to stack one amplifier on

top of the other

• Bridgeable outputs provide double the amplification for areas that

require more amplifier power

• 1U height takes up half the rack space of other multi-room amplifiers

• Fast wake from standby using 12V trigger from Triad Audio Matrix

Switches—ideal for time-sensitive audio announcements and quick

audio zone turn on

• Standby mode saves energy by muting audio when not in use

• Three power control options—12V trigger, audio sensing, or always on

• Global input allows a single audio input to be linked to multiple

amplifier outputs with a simple dip switch

• Global output allows you to chain multiple amplifiers together to create

large audio zones

• Over-current protection prevents amplifier channels from overloading

due to short circuits or incorrect wiring

• Thermal protection shuts down amplifier channels if thermal limits are

exceeded, preventing damage

WARNINGS

WARNING! Do not expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.

Do not place objects filled with liquids near the apparatus.

AVERTISSEMENT ! N’exposez pas l’appareil à l’égoutture ou à

l’éclaboussement. Ne placez pas les objets remplis de liquides près

de l’appareil.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not

expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

AVERTISSEMENT ! Pour réduire le risque du feu ou de choc

électrique, n’exposez pas cet appareil à la pluie ou à l’humidité.

IMPORTANT! Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized

or grounding-type plug. The wide blade or the third prong are

provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your

outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, do not install this device in

a cabinet that is smaller than 20” (50.8 cm) wide × 20” (50.8 cm)

deep × 12” (30.5 cm) high. If you do, the device may overheat.

AVERTISSEMENT ! Pour réduire les risques d’incendie, ne pas

installer cet appareil dans une armoire qui est plus petit que 20”

(50.8cm) de large × 20” (50.8 cm) de profondeur × 12” (30.5 cm)

de haut. Si vous le faites, l’appareil peut surchauer.

FRONT AND REAR PANEL DESCRIPTIONS

FRONT PANEL 4-ZONE AND 8-ZONE AMPLIFIERS

A Zone Status LEDs—Lights blue when an amplifier zone is on, red if in

overcurrent protection, and orange if in thermal shutdown

• Power LED—Lights blue when amplifier powers on.

BACK PANEL 4-ZONE AND 8-ZONE AMPLIFIER

• Power connector—Use the supplied power cord to connect power.

• 12V TRIGGER IN/OUT— Trigger input for 12V control of amplifier power.

Connects to trigger output of audio matrix or other 12V trigger device.

Trigger output chains 12V control to another amplifier trigger input.

• GLOBAL OUT—RCA connectors for a global line-level stereo audio out.

Outputs whatever audio device is plugged into Zone 1 Input/GLOBAL IN.

• Zone 1 input/GLOBAL IN—RCA connectors for stereo line in. Can be

used as a global audio input or input for zone 1. GAIN dial is used to

adjust input level for zone 1 or global in. The recommended starting gain

level is 6. CLIP LED turns red when input gain is too high, causing the

amplifier zone to clip.

• Zone 2-4 (8) input—RCA connectors for stereo line in for zones 2-4 (8).

GAIN dial is used to adjust input level for each zone. The recommended

starting gain level is 6. CLIP LED turns red when input gain is too high

for each zone, causing the amplifier zone to clip.

• BRIDGE MODE—Set switches to On to bridge left/right amplifier

channels for a zone. When channels are bridged, use the RCA input

labeled BRIDGE.

• LINK TO GLOBAL INPUT—Set switches to On to link a zone to the

GLOBAL IN or set the ALL switch to On to link all zones to the GLOBAL

IN.

• POWER MODE—Set to ON/12V/AUDIO to configure the amplifier’s

power setting.

• ZONE OUTPUTS—4 (8) stereo zone outputs using two 8 (16)-position

Phoenix-style connectors for speaker wiring connections.
