Audio Control Director M4800

Item Number: ACP-DMZ-M4800

The Director® M4800 delivers 100W (8Ω) or 200W (4Ω) per channel across 8 channels, with bridging up to 400W (8Ω), onboard DSP for EQ, crossover, and zone control, 4 Coaxial/TOSLINK digital inputs, Sound Partners™ speaker profiles, and integration with 3rd-party systems, designed in Seattle, USA, for commercial and residential systems.

8-Channel DSP Matrix Amplifier

AudioControl Director® M Series amplifiers are among the highest-powered, most flexible multi-zone amplifiers worldwide, designed exclusively for commercial and residential custom integrators. In the most demanding applications for all system amplification and IP programmable signal processing tasks, the Director® M Series Model M4800 has the power and flexibility to operate as a standalone DSP amplifier or partnered with 3rd party over-control systems from companies such as Control4, Crestron, RTI and Savant. Configure graphic and parametric equalization, crossover points, volume settings, zone grouping, network monitoring, and more using the onboard DSP.

8, 100-watt channels into 8 Ohms become 200 watts per channel with 4-Ohm loudspeaker loads. When two channels bridge outputs, that single channel produces 400 watts into 8 Ohms, more than enough power for even the most demanding loudspeaker configurations. Four Coaxial/TOSLINK digital input busses may be matrixed, along with four analog zone inputs to any zone or all zone outputs. Built-in speaker profiles from AudioControl’s Sound Partners™ program members offer M Series DSP-optimized tonally balanced speaker calibrations from a growing list of prominent loudspeaker manufacturers.

Discover for yourself the countless critical ways in which AudioControl Director® M Series amplifiers, designed, engineered, and manufactured in Seattle, USA, contribute to successful commercial or residential systems.
