The XPA U 4004 FX is a four channel, multi-zone, high performance audio amplifier. This ENERGY STAR qualified amplifier can deliver 400 watts simultaneously into 8 ohm, 4 ohm, 70 volt, and 100 volt loads, independently configurable per channel. Each channel of an adjacent pair dynamically draws power from the pair's total wattage, delivering optimal power where it's needed according to system requirements. This exceptional flexibility allows a single unit to be set up in a variety of configurations to support large systems with multiple speaker types. The XPA U 4004 FX features two exclusive technologies that work together to provide exceptional energy savings. ECO Standby automatically maximizes the time the amplifier operates in its lowest possible power state, while the Extron-exclusive...
