Episode EA-HYB-AMP-2D-2400 2-Channel Hybrid DSP Amplifier 2400W

High-output 2-channel Episode hybrid DSP amplifier with up to 2400W, built for 70V, 8 ohm, or mixed systems that need real headroom and tuning control.

The Episode EA-HYB-AMP-2D-2400 is the kind of amplifier you spec when the system is too big for “close enough.” It is designed for demanding installs that may combine 70V distributed audio with traditional 8 ohm speakers, including higher-power subwoofers. With flexible output modes per channel, robust connectivity, and DSP tools that help you dial the system in quickly, it is a strong fit for large outdoor landscapes, multi-zone properties, and commercial spaces where clarity and stability matter.

Why installers choose this hybrid DSP amplifier

• Hybrid output flexibility per channel, run 70V, 8 ohm, or a mixed approach based on the zone
• High power capacity, up to 2400W, for larger speaker counts and cleaner dynamics with headroom
• Supports down to 2 ohms for demanding low-impedance runs and certain subwoofer configurations
• DSP with presets plus adjustable EQ and limiter control for protection and better tuning
• Front-panel UI and WebUI over IP speed up setup, gain staging, and system dialing
• Balanced and unbalanced analog inputs plus digital input support for flexible source integration
• Loop outs simplify expansion when adding zones or stacking additional amplifiers
• 2U chassis helps airflow and cooling in racks that run hot

Best use cases

• Large landscape audio systems where you want strong output and tight control
• Commercial installs with multiple zones, restaurants, retail, hospitality, and event spaces
• Hybrid systems mixing 70V speaker runs with 8 ohm zones or subwoofer channels
• Projects that need DSP protection, consistent voicing, and clean scalability over time

Recommended with this product

• Episode to build a matched system with compatible speakers and audio components
• In-Wall and In-Ceiling Speakers for architectural speakers in distributed and multi-zone designs
• Power Management Solutions to protect a high-value rack from surges and unstable power
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) to keep networking and control stable during brief outages

Quick guidance

Start by defining which zones are 70V and which are low-impedance, then size the system by total 70V tap wattage and desired headroom. Use DSP limiters to protect speakers, and apply EQ to tame harshness or tighten bass, especially outdoors where the environment changes the sound. If you share your zone count, speaker models, tap settings, and whether you are mixing 70V with 8 ohm or subs, contact us and we will help you map channels, power, and DSP basics for a clean, reliable build.

1. Can this run 70V speakers and 8-ohm speakers in the same project?
   Yes. It is built for hybrid installs where you need 70V distribution plus traditional low-impedance speaker loads, depending on channel configuration.
   
2. How do I tune the sound for outdoor landscape audio?
   Start with the pre-loaded DSP settings, then use EQ and limiter controls to smooth the response and protect speakers. Outdoor systems usually benefit from controlled bass and gentle high-frequency shaping.
   
3. Can I expand the system later with more amps?
   Yes. Use the loop outs to stack additional amplifiers and keep signal routing clean as you add zones or more speaker runs.
