CDA-16 - Distribution Amplifier (100W x 16 Ch @4Ohms)

Our CDA-16 distribution power amplifier can drive any Bowers & Wilkins custom installation speaker to new heights of performance. Offering 16 channels of power, the CDA-16 can enable your whole home with sound yet takes up minimal space thanks to its compact 1U design. Its configurable specification supports bridging of its Class D stereo channels into even more powerful mono outputs, if needed.

Features

  • 16 channels distribution amplification in 8 zones with a powerful 100 watts per channel to deliver high-resolution audio.

  • Engineered to work with any Bowers & Wilkins installation speakers.

  • Highly flexible usage / configuration – Zone L/R outputs can be bridged to provide a mono output of double the power.

  • Three power mode control options – on, auto detect or 12V trigger.

  • Robust and reliable protection features, preventing damage due to overload, short circuits or heat.

  • Ultra-compact rack-mount design (1 rack unit), easy to install and configure.
