Episode EA-RSP-12D-100 12-Channel DSP Matrix Amplifier 100W

12-channel Episode DSP matrix amplifier with 100W per channel at 4 ohms, built to power up to 6 zones with source routing, EQ tuning, and zone sub outputs.

The Episode EA-RSP-12D-100 is a clean “one chassis does it right” backbone for multi-room audio. It combines amplification, matrix source routing, and DSP tuning so you can build a simpler rack, wire faster, and make every room sound consistent instead of just loud. It is a strong fit for whole-home systems and light commercial installs where reliability and long-term serviceability matter.

Why installers choose this DSP matrix amplifier

• 12 channels of amplification, typically powers up to 6 stereo zones from one chassis
• 100W per channel at 4 ohms provides solid headroom for architectural speakers
• Built-in matrix routing simplifies multi-source distribution without extra hardware
• Onboard DSP per zone helps each room sound right, not just “same settings everywhere”
• 10-band parametric EQ supports real tuning for placement, reflections, and room differences
• Dedicated subwoofer outputs per zone make it easy to add bass only where it is needed
• IP control speeds setup and makes adjustments practical after the install
• OvrC compatibility supports remote visibility and faster troubleshooting
• Active cooling and anti-clipping protection help keep the system stable under load

Best use cases

• Whole-home audio with 4 to 6 zones, kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, and patios
• Light commercial installs like offices, studios, and retail with multiple rooms and sources
• Projects where different rooms need different tuning and volume behavior
• Systems where some zones need subwoofers, but others should stay clean and simple

Recommended with this product

• Episode for matching architectural speakers and system consistency across zones
• In-Wall and In-Ceiling Speakers for zone speakers that pair well with multi-channel amplification
• Power Management Solutions to protect a multi-zone rack from surges and unstable power
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) to keep networking and control stable during brief outages

Quick guidance

Start by mapping zones and sources, then decide which rooms need dedicated tuning and which can share a profile. Use the DSP EQ to correct obvious room issues, and reserve zone sub outputs for spaces that benefit from real low-end, like living rooms and patios.

1. How many zones can the EA-RSP-12D-100 handle?
   Typically up to 6 zones (12 channels total), depending on how you assign channels to speakers in each room.
   
2. Can I tune the sound separately for each room?
   Yes. The built-in 10-band parametric EQ and DSP controls let you dial in each zone so it sounds consistent and balanced.
   
3. Can I add subwoofers to specific zones only?
   Yes. It includes dedicated subwoofer outputs per zone, so you can add bass where you want without affecting every room.
