Bose Professional has expanded its FreeSpace installation amplifier line with dual-channel amplifiers for commercial applications. The new models include are two mixer amplifiers (IZA 2120-HZ, IZA 2120-LZ) and two expansion amplifiers (ZA 2120-HZ, ZA 2120-LZ) each offering 120W/channel.
Aimed at applicatins including retail, restaurants and hospitality, the IZA models include an integrated audio DSP providing loudspeaker EQ, dynamic EQ, opti-voice paging/ducking, audio mixing/routing, bass/treble adjustments, remote control options and an auto standby feature. The ZA models support sound system expansion when using front-end Bose products such as FreeSpace integrated zone amplifiers and ControlSpace engineered sound processors.
The FreeSpace Integrated Zone Amplifiers ZA 2120-HZ and IZA 2120-LZ are intended for background/foreground music and paging applications. They feature selectable loudspeaker EQ, opti-voice paging for speech intelligibility and dynamic EQ for music at any level. Additionally, the IZA 2120-HZ offers a two-zone capability, providing two independent outputs that each support volume/source selection remotes, EQ, tone controls and paging/auxiliary routing options.
The FreeSpace Zone Amplifiers ZA 2120-HZ and ZA 2120-LZ are designed to provide basic amplification and sound system expansion when using front-end Bose products, such as FreeSpace zone amplifiers and ControlSpace processors. When connected to an IZA integrated zone amplifier, the ZA zone amplifier allows for easy system expansion. Chained amplifiers will function together as a single system, sharing the same music, paging sources, master volume control and optional loudspeaker equalisation.
‘At higher power levels, our four 120W IZA/ZA amplifiers greatly expand the size and complexity of the venues for which FreeSpace amps can be used,’ says Ashraf Elghamrawi, Bose Professional Product Line Manager for Amplifiers. ‘These models don’t need a PC or programming and with just a few switches can be tailored to almost any commercial installation. As one of our dealers said, there are not many places where these amps can’t be used.’
The new products are expected to ship in Q3 2015.
