Bowers & Wilkins Rack Mount CI Amplifier CDA-16 UK/EC

Features

• 16 channels distribution amplification in 8 zones with a powerful 100 watts
  per channel to deliver high-resolution audio.
• Engineered to work with any Bowers & Wilkins installation speakers.
• Highly flexible usage / configuration – Zone L/R outputs can be bridged to
  provide a mono output of double the power.
• Three power mode control options – on, auto detect or 12V trigger.
• Robust and reliable protection features, preventing damage due to overload,
  short circuits or heat.
• Ultra-compact rack-mount design (1 rack unit), easy to install and configure.
