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.

You’re that person that can’t imagine a single holiday passing without throwing that one party that everyone talks about.

Or maybe you convert your biggest room into a dancing space where you can drink cocktails with friends all night long. No matter what, your Control4 system facilitates playing and pausing music, switching tracks, adjusting volume, and anything else you need to manage.
