SUPPORTED MODELS
• TS-PAMP8-100 Triad 8-Zone Power Amplifier
• TS-PAMP4-100 Triad 4-Zone Power Amplifier
BOX CONTENTS
• 4 or 8-Zone Power Amplifier
• IEC power cable
• Phoenix-style speaker connectors
• Rack-mount ears and screws
• Mono 3.5 mm 12V trigger cable
FEATURES
• Powerful amplification driven by ICEpower modules delivers a dynamic,
high-resolution audio experience
• Class-D amplification runs cool allowing you to stack one amplifier on
top of the other
• Bridgeable outputs provide double the amplification for areas that
require more amplifier power
• 1U height takes up half the rack space of other multi-room amplifiers
• Fast wake from standby using 12V trigger from Triad Audio Matrix
Switches—ideal for time-sensitive audio announcements and quick
audio zone turn on
• Standby mode saves energy by muting audio when not in use
• Three power control options—12V trigger, audio sensing, or always on
• Global input allows a single audio input to be linked to multiple
amplifier outputs with a simple dip switch
• Global output allows you to chain multiple amplifiers together to create
large audio zones
• Over-current protection prevents amplifier channels from overloading
due to short circuits or incorrect wiring
• Thermal protection shuts down amplifier channels if thermal limits are
exceeded, preventing damage

FRONT AND REAR PANEL DESCRIPTIONS
FRONT PANEL 4-ZONE AND 8-ZONE AMPLIFIERS
A
Zone Status LEDs
—Lights blue when an amplifier zone is on, red if in
overcurrent protection, and orange if in thermal shutdown
• Power LED
—Lights blue when amplifier powers on.
BACK PANEL 4-ZONE AND 8-ZONE AMPLIFIER
• Power connector—
Use the supplied power cord to connect power.
• 12V TRIGGER IN/OUT—
Trigger input for 12V control of amplifier power.
Connects to trigger output of audio matrix or other 12V trigger device.
Trigger output chains 12V control to another amplifier trigger input.
• GLOBAL OUT—
RCA connectors for a global line-level stereo audio out.
Outputs whatever audio device is plugged into Zone 1 Input/GLOBAL IN.
• Zone 1 input/GLOBAL IN—
RCA connectors for stereo line in. Can be
used as a global audio input or input for zone 1.
GAIN
dial is used to
adjust input level for zone 1 or global in. The recommended starting gain
level is 6.
CLIP
LED turns red when input gain is too high, causing the
amplifier zone to clip.
• Zone 2-4 (8) input—
RCA connectors for stereo line in for zones 2-4 (8).
GAIN
dial is used to adjust input level for each zone. The recommended
starting gain level is 6.
CLIP
LED turns red when input gain is too high
for each zone, causing the amplifier zone to clip.
• BRIDGE MODE
—
Set switches to
On
to bridge left/right amplifier
channels for a zone. When channels are bridged, use the RCA input
labeled
BRIDGE
.
• LINK TO GLOBAL INPUT—
Set switches to
On
to link a zone to the
GLOBAL IN
or set the
ALL
switch to
On
to link all zones to the
GLOBAL
IN
.
• POWER MODE—
Set to
ON/12V/AUDIO
to configure the amplifier’s
power setting
.
• ZONE OUTPUTS—
4 (8) stereo zone outputs using two 8 (16)-position
Phoenix-style connectors for speaker wiring connections.
