Specially designed for custom integration of whole home audio systems, the “AMP” serves as a companion amplifier for the Yamaha XDA-QS5400RK to expand speaker coverage and/or increase power output. It may also be used to expand secondary zone speaker coverage for Yamaha AV receivers that have Zone pre outs.

The XDA-AMP5400RK – the “AMP” – was conceived as a companion to the XDA-QS5400RK as a way to provide additional speaker coverage and/or additional speaker output power in a custom integrated multi-room home audio system. It also pairs nicely with Yamaha AV receivers that offer Zone pre outs.
Feed up to four sources from QS pre outs into the AMP – its four audio I/O buses can be patched together to handle a wide array of speaker/zone configurations. The AMP comes with a set of jumper plugs and cables, making it ultra-versatile right out of the box. The audio outs can alternatively be used to connect powered subwoofers or subwoofer amps. Each of the four amplifier zones are also bridgeable, giving you the option to increase power output to select speakers if needed.
The AMP employs ultra-efficient ICEpower integrated circuits to deliver eight channels of pristine, musically-dynamic digital amplification 50 watts/channel (8 ohms) with an outstanding 5 Hz to 40 kHz (+0/-3 dB) frequency response and 108 dB signal-to-noise ratio. It is 4 ohm capable at 100 watts/channel and bridgeable to 200 watts/channel (8 ohms).
