Who Should Choose the EA-MOIP-AMP-12D-100?

Choose this model when the audio system is being built around the Snap One MoIP platform and you need up to six independently configured zones from one centralized amplifier.

It is especially useful for larger residential audio systems, media rooms, distributed AV systems, and rack-based installations where flexible source routing, multichannel playback, room-by-room DSP, and remote system management are important.

100W RMS per Channel at 4 Ohms

Episode specifies 100W RMS per channel into 4-ohm loads and 50W RMS per channel into 8-ohm loads with all twelve channels driven.

The amplifier is designed for compatible low-impedance passive speakers. It is not a 70V or 100V distributed-audio amplifier.

Bridgeable Channels

The EA-MOIP-AMP-12D-100 supports output-channel bridging when additional power is needed for supported mono speaker or passive-subwoofer configurations.

Episode specifies 100W RMS bridged output into an 8-ohm minimum load. Bridged channels must begin on an odd-numbered channel and are configured through OvrC.

Up to Six Configurable Zones

The twelve powered channels can be assigned across as many as six zones. Zone configurations can include stereo, mono, and multichannel layouts depending on how the amplifier channels are allocated.

Supported playback configurations include 5.1/5.0, 4.1/4.0, 3.1/3.0, 2.1/2.0, and mono playback.

MoIP Audio Routing

As part of a compatible Snap One MoIP system, the amplifier can receive and decode network audio streams and route them to configured amplifier zones.

It supports Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, LPCM, and PCM audio formats. A compatible B-900-MOIP-4K-CTRL MoIP controller is required for the amplifier to function in the MoIP ecosystem.

Local Sources Can Also Be Sent Across MoIP

The amplifier includes two stereo RCA analog inputs plus one combined coaxial / optical digital input.

Local sources connected to these inputs can be transmitted onto the MoIP network for routing to other compatible MoIP destinations.

The coaxial and optical connections share the same digital input, so they cannot be used simultaneously as separate digital sources.

Built-In DSP for Each Zone

Episode provides DSP controls for zone configuration, output level, speaker distance, filtering, tone shaping, room correction, and compatible speaker presets.

Available processing includes parametric EQ, low-pass and high-pass filtering with adjustable slope, low/high shelving, room EQ presets, and speaker EQ presets.

Six Subwoofer Outputs

Each possible zone has a corresponding low-level RCA subwoofer output for connection to a powered subwoofer or external subwoofer amplifier.

The subwoofer output uses an adjustable crossover and receives a summed version of the zone source when that zone is configured with a subwoofer, even when the source does not contain a native LFE channel.

Browse Subwoofers when planning bass support for individual zones.

OvrC Remote Management

OvrC provides configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting, DSP setup, and MoIP system management through the network.

The amplifier also supports integration with Control4 and other compatible IP control systems using supported drivers.

Network Requirements

This amplifier is designed to operate as part of a properly configured MoIP network rather than as a standalone consumer streaming amplifier.

Episode requires the MoIP controller and compatible managed network infrastructure. The amplifier should be connected to the same MoIP network as the other system components.

Browse Network Switches and CAT5e / CAT6 Cables when planning the network infrastructure.

How many zones can the EA-MOIP-AMP-12D-100 support?

It provides 12 amplified channels and can be configured for up to six audio zones.

How much power does it provide?

Episode specifies 50W RMS per channel at 8 ohms and 100W RMS per channel at 4 ohms with all channels driven.

Can the amplifier channels be bridged?

Yes. Bridging is supported on the EA-MOIP-AMP-12D-100. Episode specifies 100W RMS bridged output into an 8-ohm minimum load.

Does it require a MoIP controller?

Yes. A B-900-MOIP-4K-CTRL controller is required for the amplifier to function within a Snap One MoIP system.

Can it work like a normal standalone streaming amplifier?

No. It is designed around the Snap One MoIP ecosystem and requires compatible network infrastructure and a MoIP controller.

What local inputs are available?

It includes two stereo RCA analog inputs and one shared coaxial / optical digital input.

Can local sources be transmitted onto the MoIP network?

Yes. Sources connected to the local analog or digital inputs can be placed onto the MoIP network and routed to compatible destinations.

Which audio formats are supported?

Episode lists Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, LPCM, and PCM, including supported multichannel playback configurations up to 5.1.

How many subwoofer outputs are included?

There are six low-level RCA subwoofer outputs, one for each possible zone.

Can the subwoofer outputs power passive subwoofers?

No. The RCA Sub Outs are line-level outputs for powered subwoofers or external subwoofer amplifiers. A passive subwoofer can instead use an appropriately configured amplified channel.

Is this a 70V or 100V amplifier?

No. It is designed for compatible low-impedance passive speakers.

How large is the amplifier?

It measures approximately 17.2" wide × 12.2" deep × 3.5" high, occupies 2U of rack space, and weighs 10 lb.
