HH Electronics launches MZ-Series multi-zone install amplifiers

HH Electronics has announced the launch of its MZ Series, a range of multi-zone install zone power amplifiers, pre-amplifier, and wall controllers, said to be 'the perfect tool for commercial systems integrators across a wide variety of applications'.

At the heart of the range is the ORIGIN multi-core platform. Its processor uses 56-bit floating point precision for input routing, level controls and EQ settings. Configurable limiting per zone allows for mixing and matching both Hi Z and Low Z speakers. ORIGIN’s ECO power saving allows for less than half a watt power consumption in standby mode.

Three 1U rack amplifier models are available. The MZ-140D, 2 Zone, featuring 2 x individual 140 Watt RMS Class D amplifiers, MZ-140Q (4 Zone, 4 x 140 Watt) and MZ-280Q (4 Zone, 4 x 280W) can be configured to run 70/100 Volt or at minimum 4 ohm impedance. There are front panel controls for volume, two band EQ and source select per zone. There are five flexible input channels, each with a front panel mounted gain trim control. Dual combo microphone inputs allow two individual mics to be connected simultaneously both with auto or manual priority modes. Front 'scribble' strips allow the installer to identify each zone and input identification. A dedicated fire/emergency input can override the system.

The range includes the MZ-64P, a 4 zone-control pre-amplifier offering 5 input channels so audio can be directed accordingly. The amplifiers and pre-amp are supported with wall controllers to enable remote control over input source and volume, available in US/EU formats in both black and white.

The MZ Series targets applications such as retail, leisure, café, bars and halls.
