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.

Questions about the Crestron DM-NAX-8ZSA

What is the Crestron DM-NAX-8ZSA?

It is a DM NAX 8-zone streaming amplifier. It powers eight stereo speaker zones, each with its own streaming service player, and puts Crestron multiroom audio distribution on the network using DM NAX and AES67 audio-over-IP. Four stereo line-level outputs mirror zones 1 to 4.

What is the output power of the DM-NAX-8ZSA?

It is rated at 150 W per channel into 8 ohms or 300 W per channel into 4 ohms. Zones can be bridged for up to 500 W per channel into 8 ohms. Power limiting is configurable, and power consumption is 240 W with all channels driven at 1/8 power into 8 ohms.

Can zones be bridged on the DM-NAX-8ZSA?

Yes. Zone configurations include stereo and mono single ended, stereo and mono bridged, bridged 2.1 and bridged 2.1 with a bridged subwoofer. Bridged operation provides up to 500 W per channel at 8 ohms, and output bussing enables linked operation of adjacent zones.

Which sources can it play?

It has four stereo analogue RCA inputs, four S/PDIF digital inputs (two optical and two coaxial) and built-in streaming services with a player per zone. It can also take up to eight stereo DM NAX or AES67 audio-over-IP streams from the network.

How is the amplifier mounted?

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?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the DM-NAX-8ZSA directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.

Can 1Install supply, install and programme the DM-NAX-8ZSA?

Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the DM-NAX-8ZSA on its own, or install, set up and programme it as part of your system. Installation visits are €440 for 4 hours or €880 for a full day, plus VAT and travel.

Is the DM-NAX-8ZSA in stock?

We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.

Can I buy the DM-NAX-8ZSA without installation?

Yes. We supply Crestron to end users, with or without installation. Like most Crestron devices of this type, it needs setting up or programming before it works in a system, and we can quote for that too.
