Power Your Sound With This Best-in-Class Amplifier


Amplifiers often get little attention in the audio world, unless you’re talking to audiophiles or integrators, but they are vital to any whole-home audio setup. In short, an amp turns the low-voltage signals from your source equipment into a signal with enough gain to power a pair of speakers. But how does that apply to homeowners and this blog’s featured device?

Crestron’s DM NAX 8ZSA is a newly released audio-over-IP (AoIP) amplifier. The DM NAX 8ZSA’s spring 2021 release coordinated with Crestron’s partnership with Origin Acoustics, highlighting a power source for the high-quality speaker brand you can use throughout your residence, both indoors and out.

One amp powers eight audio zones with music, movies, podcasts, or anything else you want to hear in that zone. We’re excited to share one of our favorite amp’s benefits, so read on to see why we’re installing the DM NAX 8ZSA in Dallas, TX, homes like yours.

What does it mean to have an electronic lifestyle?

Living an electronic lifestyle doesn’t mean that you have high-end electronics in your home, like fancy home theater systems and surround sound – or that you can turn the lights on with your phone. It means that your smart home matches your schedule, tastes, and can actually mirror your daily routines. It also means that all of your electronics are connected so that you can start or stop actions by hitting one button. There are many home electronics today that have apps you can download on your phone, but what if you could combine all those apps into one system, hit one button and your home will adjust just as you like it? Imagine coming home after work, driving into the garage and as you walk in the whole house audio system turns on your favorite playlist, the lights turn on, and the thermostat adjusts to a comfortable 73. All of those actions can be triggered by timers, by a motion sensor as you walk in, or by the garage door opening.
