For mange år siden så Parasound at konkurrerende flerkanalsforsterkere tilbø lav effekt, manglet nødvendige bekvemmelighetsfunksjoner og til og med være upålitelige. Som Richard Schram (Direktør hos Parasound) sa: "første gang du besøker et jobbsted for å erstatte den upålitelige distribusjonsforsterkeren, taper du fortjenesten; andre gang mister du troverdigheten din. ZoneMaster-linjen til Parasound tilbyr det konkurrentene mangler. Den mest betydningsfulle ZM 12-forbedringen: Zone 1 (kanal 1 og 2) tilbyr en kraftig oppgradering til 120 watt per kanal i 8 ohm og 150 watt per kanal i 4 eller 2 ohm.

• Our new ZoneMaster models are very similar in their feature sets, differing mainly in size and number of channels.
• Universal amplifier for applications from 60 to 150 watts
• Zone 1 (channel 1&2) are higher power for more demanding applications
• 24 speaker connections (A and B outputs for all 12 channels)
• High current for stable operation at 2 Ohms
• Class AB input stage plus premium Class D power stage
• Independent audio sensing triggers, one for each zone
• 6 Independent 12 volt trigger inputs, one for each zone
• Looping 12 volt trigger outputs for each zone
• Master 12 volt trigger input to turn all zones on-off
• Speaker level input for expanding systems w/out pre out jacks
• Two bus inputs can be routed to any zone
• Bus loop output jacks for passing audio to another amp
• Summed Mono mode combines L and R for single speaker applications
• Separate level controls for all twelve channels
• Detachable speaker connectors accept up to 12 gauge wire
• Short circuit and overheat protection with front panel indicators
• 0.5 watt standby power consumption meets Energy Star & EU specs
• Compact 2U chassis

Power Output : Zone 1 (Channel 1–2) 120 watts x 2 @ 8O 150 watts x 2 @ 4O or 2O

Power Output : Zone 2-6 (Channels 3–12) 60 watts x 10 @ 8O 100 watts x 10 @ 4O or 2O Note: Power ratings are RMS, All Channels Driven (20 Hz - 20 kHz)

Minimum Speaker Impedance: A+B Outputs of a Single Channel: 2 O Note: Continuous operation at this minimum impedance might require additional ventilation for the amplifier.
