Sonance PowerZone Connect 1008D 8-Channel DSP Amplifier 1RU With Dante

The Sonance PowerZone Connect 1008D Dante is part of the 1U DSP-enabled Class-D amplifier family built to simplify commercial installations. An 8-channel, 1000W-per-channel design delivering up to 1000W of total system power from a slim, low-heat chassis that fits spaces where a 2U amplifier won't.

The 1008D Dante drives both low-impedance loudspeakers (4 ohms to 16 ohms) and constant-voltage 70V/100V transformer-coupled speakers, with automatic power-sharing that proportionally distributes output across channels in either Lo-Z or Hi-Z mode. The browser-based PowerZone Control web app is built directly into the amplifier and provides multi-zone routing, input mixing, priority and ducking, parametric EQ, high-pass filters, speaker presets, delay, signal generator, and Wall-S1/Wall-M controller setup without any external software install.

Dante support adds audio-over-IP networking, allowing the 1008D Dante to integrate with Audinate-equipped consoles, DSPs, and infrastructure for multi-room and multi-building deployments where analog runs would be impractical.

Backed by a 5-year warranty, this amplifier ships ready for universal deployment.

Suits larger commercial installations — multi-zone retail, hotels, and houses of worship — where 8 channels of independent high-power DSP-driven zone management are needed alongside AoIP distribution from a central matrix.
