Channel)

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 Perfect Whole Home Audio Companion

Sonic Soul Mates

The XDA-AMP5400RK – the “AMP” – was conceived as a
companion to the Yamaha 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.

Slim Yet Powerful

The AMP packs eight channels of audiophile-grade
amplification into a remarkably-slim 1U-high enclosure, allowing you to fully
optimize your valuable rack real estate.

Phenomenal Flexibility

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.

More Power on Demand

Each of the four amplifier zones is also bridgeable, giving
you the option to increase power output to select speakers if needed.

Engineered to Sound Extraordinary

Audiophile-Grade Amplification

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).

Goodbye Ground Loop Hum

The curse of the custom integrator: ground loop hum, a
common and vexing side effect of connecting a bunch of electronics together in
a rack. The AMP takes care of it with a brilliantly-engineered differential
circuit design. Sometimes it’s what you don’t hear that sounds the most
amazing.

High-Performance under the Hood

The AMP employs a balanced audio circuit design and PML
capacitors, which are also used in our flagship AVENTAGE AV separates. The
result: greater realism and expressiveness for all of your favorite music.

Custom-Built for Custom

Versatile Installation

Mount it in a rack with the included ears or remove the ears
for shelf installations. The included magnetic faceplate discourages tampering
and provides the perfect cosmetic finish.

Harmonious Control

When a QS and AMP are used together, simply wire the trigger
ports to automatically power on/off the desired amplifier zones – no additional
control interface is needed. The AMP also works great as a companion to an
AVENTAGE AV receiver. When using the AMP with other sources, audio sensing
inputs and an infrared I/O provide additional control flexibility.

Custom-Friendly Connectivity

The AMP is truly made for custom integration,
with Euroblock-style speaker connectors and a detachable AC cable for smart
connectivity.
