PowerZone™ is a series of non-networked Class-D installation amplifiers engineered for professionals who demand affordable, reliable, high-performance audio power.
Key features include flexible configuration options that allow each output channel to be independently set to drive either Lo-Z or Hi-Z loads, enabling you to tailor your system to drive both types of loudspeakers from a single unit. Additionally, the PowerZone™ series’ power-sharing technology (exclusive to the 252 and 504 models) intelligently distributes the total available power across channels, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
With full rack support and adaptable desk and wall mount brackets, the PowerZone™ series offers unparalleled installation versatility in a compact form factor that seamlessly fits into spaces where other amplifiers may fall short.
Like all PowerZone products from Blaze Audio, these amplifiers come with a 5- year warranty.

Yes, the amplifiers will remember the settings of maximum volume when dipswitch number 8 is placed in the upper position. This is most helpful if 10K ohm potentiometers are used or if the amplifier is used in a larger installation controlled from a DSP.
Yes, the amplifier can be triggered to go into standby using the GPIO contact on the back of the amplifier. A normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) contact can be used.
No, each output can be driven in either Low-Z or High-Z. This makes these amplifiers very flexible.
The maintenance USB port can be used to update the built-in DSP in the amplifiers. Look at our website to find the latest firmware (It is normally not necessary to update the firmware).
No, only by linking the inputs. The PowerZone amplifiers do not have S/PDIF in and out, as the PowerZone Connect series.
