Blaze Audio PowerZone Connect 4008 500-Watt 8-Channel Power Amplifier

Power Complex Audio Systems with the PowerZone Connect 4008 DSP Amplifier

The PowerZone Connect 4008 is a 4000-watt, 8-channel Class-D power amplifier designed for professional installed audio systems that require flexible power distribution and integrated signal processing. Its built-in PowerZone Control DSP provides full-matrix configuration through a web-based interface, while hybrid Lo-Z and Hi-Z operation allows the amplifier to support conventional low-impedance loudspeakers as well as 70V and 100V distributed systems. Powered by Pascal UMAC Class-D technology and housed in a full-rack 2U chassis, the PowerZone Connect 4008 combines high output capability, system flexibility, and streamlined control in a single amplifier.

Built-In PowerZone Control DSP

The PowerZone Connect 4008 includes built-in DSP that can be configured through the PowerZone Control web application. Full-matrix routing and signal processing provide flexible system setup without requiring a separate external DSP processor for many installations.

Flexible Lo-Z and Hi-Z Power

The amplifier supports both conventional low-impedance loudspeakers and high-impedance distributed systems. In Lo-Z applications, it can deliver up to eight channels of amplification, while bridged configurations provide higher output for demanding loads. For distributed audio systems, four 1000W outputs are available at either 70V or 100V.

Pascal UMAC Class-D Amplification

Pascal UMAC Class-D technology provides high output capability in an efficient 2U rackmount design. The universal power supply with power factor correction supports professional installation environments while helping maximize system efficiency.

Professional System Integration

S/PDIF digital connectivity and configurable GPIO provide additional flexibility when integrating the PowerZone Connect 4008 into commercial and installed audio systems. Its full-rack chassis is designed for straightforward installation in standard professional equipment racks.
