100% working condition and great cosmetically. Only one single scratch on top from racking. Bridgeable.

The Triad TS-PAMP8-100 is an 8-zone, 16-channel distributed audio power amplifier engineered for whole-home audio installations, particularly within the Control4 ecosystems. Built around high-resolution ICEpower Class-D amplification modules, this 1U rack-mountable component is highly regarded for running exceptionally cool while maximizing rack space.

Key Specifications

• Power Output & Impedance: Delivers 100W per channel at 4 Ω or 50W per channel at 8 Ω (with 2 channels driven). When configuring larger spaces that demand extra headroom, the outputs are bridgeable up to 200W at 8 Ω.

• Power Limiting Nuance: If all 8 zones (16 channels) are driven simultaneously, a shared-power safety scaling feature limits continuous output down to 25W per channel at 4/8 Ω to manage the thermal and power envelope. Real-world installers note that this is still plenty loud for 99% of standard architectural speaker setups.

• Form Factor: Compact 1U rack height (17.5" x 1.75" x 11.44") making it half the size of legacy multi-room amplifiers.

• Lifecycle Note: The TS-PAMP8-100 (V1 series) has been officially succeeded by the TS-PAMP8-125-V2, which boosts individual channel output by 25% to 125W at 4 ohms.

Core Features & Architecture

• Audio Routing Capabilities: Features 8 independent stereo RCA inputs alongside a global analog input/output bus. Simple physical dip switches allow you to effortlessly duplicate a single source across multiple zones or daisy-chain multiple amplifiers together.

• Power Management Modes: Offers three flexible standby wake modes—12V trigger, standard audio sensing, or always-on. When using the 12V trigger linked to a Triad Audio Matrix Switch, it wakes from standby in under 2 seconds.

• System Protections: Built-in safeguards feature automatic fault detection, over-current, and thermal monitoring to actively prevent speaker or internal circuitry blowout during wiring errors or short-circuits.
