About the Crestron DM-NAX-8ZSA
The DM-NAX-8ZSA puts Crestron multiroom audio distribution on the network, with eight amplified stereo zones (16 channels) and a dedicated streaming player for each. Zones can be set as stereo or mono, single ended or bridged, including bridged 2.1 options, and power limiting is configurable from 5 W up to the rated output. Four stereo line-level outputs mirror speaker zones 1 to 4, and their voltage triggers can switch external amplifiers on and off.
Sources include four stereo analogue RCA inputs, four S/PDIF digital inputs (two optical and two coaxial), up to eight stereo DM NAX or AES67 streams and the built-in streaming services. The amplifier can send up to 24 stereo audio-over-IP streams to the network. Full DSP covers bass, treble, loudness, dynamic range control, EQ and tone profiles, and output bussing lets adjacent zones operate together.
It also supports voice control with Crestron Home OS and has built-in chime support, with monitoring for over current, over and under voltage, over temperature, DC offset and clipping. Power consumption is 240 W with all channels at 1/8 power into 8 ohms. The 2RU rack-mountable chassis measures 89 mm high, 482 mm wide with rack ears (439 mm without) and 369 mm deep.

It is a 2RU rack-mountable unit with a metal chassis in a black and silver finish and vented sides. It measures 89 mm high, 482 mm wide with rack ears or 439 mm without, and 369 mm deep. Crestron describes it as having low power consumption and cool-running operation.
How much is the Crestron DM-NAX-8ZSA?
