Episode EA-DYN-8D-100 8-Channel Multi-Zone 100W Class-D Amplifier

8-channel Class D power for clean, scalable multi-zone audio

The Episode EA-DYN-8D-100 is an 8-channel multi-zone Class D amplifier rated at 100W per channel, built for distributed audio in homes and light commercial spaces. It is designed for efficient, reliable rack installs, with flexible inputs, zone control options, and easy expansion when you want to add more rooms later.

Why it fits multi-room and commercial installs

• 8 channels at 100W per channel: Strong, consistent power for multiple speaker zones.
• Bridgeable outputs: Combine channels when you need higher power for a specific zone.
• Global inputs and adjustable gain: Easy balancing across rooms with clean level control.
• Subwoofer outputs per zone: Add low-end reinforcement where it matters without redesigning the system.
• Audio sensing auto standby: Saves energy and reduces heat when no signal is present.
• Built-in surge protection: Added durability for real-world rack environments.
• Rack-friendly slim design: Great for tight AV racks and structured wiring layouts.
• Loop outputs for expansion: Daisy-chain and scale the system more easily as zones grow.

Best use cases

• Whole-home audio with multiple rooms and independent zones
• Offices, restaurants, and retail spaces needing distributed background music
• Audio systems that need reliable rack power with clean growth paths

1. How many zones can this amp run?
   It has 8 channels, which typically means up to 4 stereo zones (4 rooms with left and right). You can also use channels for mono zones if needed.
   
2. Is this for 8 ohm speakers or 70V speakers?
   This type of multi-zone amp is typically for standard 8 ohm speaker runs, not 70V distributed speaker lines. If you’re building a 70V system, you want a 70V amplifier.
   
3. Can I use it for outdoor speakers too?
   Yes, as long as your outdoor speakers are standard low-impedance (like 8 ohm) and the wiring run is appropriate. For long runs with many outdoor speakers, a 70V system is usually a better fit.
