Episode EA-HYB-AMP-2D-1200 2-Channel Hybrid DSP Amplifier 1200W

Installer-focused 2-channel Episode hybrid DSP amplifier with up to 1200W, built for 70V, 8 ohm, or mixed systems that need headroom and control.

The Episode EA-HYB-AMP-2D-1200 is designed for larger zones and serious installs where flexibility matters. Each channel can be configured for 70V, 8 ohm, or hybrid operation, so you can power distributed speaker runs and traditional low-impedance speakers in the same project without turning the rack into a workaround. Add in WebUI control and real DSP tools, and this amp becomes easy to deploy, easy to tune, and easy to support.

Why installers choose this hybrid DSP amplifier

• Hybrid output flexibility per channel, run 70V, 8 ohm, or mixed configurations
• Up to 1200W of power provides strong headroom for bigger zones and cleaner dynamics
• Supports down to a 2 ohm minimum load in supported configurations for demanding runs
• Front-panel UI and WebUI over IP speed up gain staging and configuration
• Wide input gain range supports sources from mic-level through pro audio levels
• Balanced and unbalanced analog inputs plus digital input support for cleaner wiring options
• Loop outs make it easy to stack amps and expand zones without messy splitting
• DSP presets plus adjustable EQ and limiter controls help tune the space and protect speakers

Best use cases

• Outdoor landscape audio systems that need punch, clarity, and consistent tuning
• Commercial spaces like restaurants, retail, and hospitality with multiple zones
• Hybrid builds combining 70V speaker runs with an 8 ohm zone or subwoofer channel
• Projects where you want remote configuration, repeatable settings, and clean scalability

Recommended with this product

• Episode to build a matched system with compatible speakers and audio components

• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) to keep networking and control stable during brief outages

Quick guidance

Start by deciding which channels are 70V runs and which are low-impedance zones, then size the system by total 70V tap wattage and leave headroom for clean peaks and future adds. Use DSP limiters to protect speakers, and apply EQ to smooth harshness or tighten bass, especially in outdoor installs. If you share your zone plan, speaker models, tap settings, and whether you are mixing 70V with 8 ohm or subs, contact us and we will help you map channels and power for a clean, reliable build.

1. Can this run 70V speakers and an 8-ohm subwoofer in the same system?
   Yes. That is the point of the hybrid design, it is built to support mixed 70V and low-impedance needs depending on how you configure the two output channels.
   
2. How do I adjust settings after installation?
   You can use the on-unit UI for quick changes, or handle configuration over the network through the WebUI, which is usually the easiest for fine-tuning.
   
3. Is this a good fit for outdoor landscape audio?
   Yes. The power headroom, DSP tuning, and flexible outputs make it a strong choice for multi-speaker outdoor zones where you want clean volume without strain.
