Twelve Channels of Digital Cool
Designed for Multi-Room
Audio Applications
High Power for High
Quality Sound
Efficient Class T
Digital Technology
Everything about the D1200 was designed with whole-house audio in mind.
From ACE®clipping elimination circuitry to digital level settings for each
channel, this amp is the heart of any multi-room system.
100 Watts of power allows you to hear all the details and nuances of your
music to maximum potential. Bass is deep and rich. High frequencies are
crisp and clear with no distortion. Incredible sound and performance.
Typical amplifiers waste over half of their energy as heat. The D1200 uses
Class T digital technology that is more than 85% efficient so that more
power goes to your speakers and less power goes to raising your Air
Conditioner bills!
D1200
Built Just For Your Home
Compact, efficient and high powered, the D1200 has
been designed specifically for multi-room, whole-
house applications. With 100 Watts of power to each
of the 12 channels, music is heard the way it was
meant to be heard—bass is deep and tight, high-
frequency details are clear and bright. The Universal
Stereo Bus allows extreme flexibility in design so
that this amplifier can truly be custom configured for
your home. Cool running Class T digital technology
and a massive power supply ensures years of
trouble-free service. ACE®clipping elimination
circuitry maintains consistent clear sound.
Power, Power, Power
The D1200’s Class T design is 85% efficient. This
means that more power is sent to your speakers and
less is wasted as heat (other amplifiers can use over
50% of their energy as heat loss). More efficiency
means more power which means—better quality
sound.
How Many Ways…?
Stereo in one zone, mono in another. Six speakers in
one zone, one in another. Got a huge room? Power
up to 24 speakers simultaneously using the D1200’s
Universal Stereo Bus. Flexible impedance ratings,
individual volume level control for each channel,
individual trigger input/output functionality, and
line-level outputs all combine to make this the most
flexible amplifier on the market today.
Built to Last
The D1200 is heavy—about 50 pounds worth.
Everything about the unit is built for durability and
longevity. A massive power supply ensures that all
necessary power is available all the time. The front
face is built of machined aluminum and has rugged
handles so that it can be moved around by mere
mortals. The Class T design and ACE®clipping
elimination circuitry keeps the amplifier running
cool, clean, and stress-free. Hook it up and enjoy!
