URC HDA-4100 4-Source, 4-Zone Multi-Zone Amplifier

The HDA-4100 is the entry point into URC's HDA audio distribution platform and the one that fits most houses and small commercial spaces. Four RCA sources feed four stereo zones or up to eight mono zones, driven at 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms or 200 watts into 4 ohms, and the whole system streams 96 kHz / 24-bit audio over the network rather than analog runs. Digital inputs also handle Dolby and DTS 5.1 downmixing.

What separates it from a plain multi-zone amp is the per-zone processing. Every zone gets high pass and low pass filters and a full 5-band parametric EQ, so an in-ceiling pair in a kitchen and a set of outdoor rocks can be tuned independently. A ducking input handles paging or a doorbell, and each chassis stores up to ten .WAV files for chime and alert playback. Two assignable pre-amp outputs and two 12V triggers cover the rest of the rack. HDA amplifiers connect over gigabit Ethernet on an AVB network switch and expand to 32 sources by 32 zones as the system grows.
