The French company Elipson has expanded its range of devices for custom installations with a 6-channel multi-zone amplifier A680. In fact, the new product is three stereo amplifiers (six channels, three zones) combined in one cabinet with a power of 80 W per channel with the impedance of the speakers connected to them. 8 ohms. Each of these amplifiers can also be bridged, resulting in three 150W outputs to the same 8-ohm speakers.

A pair of input patching buses allows the A680 to be multiplexed into arrays from the required number of amplifiers. It is also convenient that the new product is made in a standard 2U rack-mount AV form factor and can be supplemented with removable mounts.

The A680 has a trigger input and output for transmitting an on / off signal. There is an automatic switch to stand by mode, there is also protection against overheating. The cost of the Elipson A680 multi-zone amplifier was 990 euros.
