- Continuous Watts x Channel @ Ohms: 60W x 16 x 8 ohms; 120W x 16 x 4 ohms; 200W x 8 zones x 8 ohms in bridged mode
- Number of Channels: 16 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
- Number of Audio Zones: 8 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)

A: Hello. Thank you for your question and we hope all is well. Yes, you can! Just set the amp volume in the WebUI and control the source and on-the-fly volume via Sonos, Wiim, etc. We hope this helps and thanks again for your question. We appreciate your interest and support.
A: Thank you for your question and we hope all is well. We apologize to hear about your experience with your speakers and amps. Impedance varies depending on the frequency so it’s constantly changing. Since it’s so dynamic, manufacturers rate impedance as “nominal” or “average” which takes into account some variability. So if the speaker and amp-rated impedance are the same or close, it should be fine. Almost all amps have built-in protection as well so in most cases there is no risk in trying it. The MDA should be fine, but we would recommend not using the bridge mode since bridge mode isn’t as stable at low impedance. We hope this helps and please let us know if you have any other questions.
