The Elan Z660 from the Z Series is a multi-channel power amplifier optimized for multi-room or multi-channel audio applications, including housewide audio distribution and surround sound systems. It offers six channels of 60W output in stereo mode or can be bridged to three channels of 120W for higher power needs like home theater front stages. Key features include independent channel gain adjustments, bus mode for routing one stereo input to multiple outputs, bridge mode switches, signal presence and clip indicators, buffered line-level outputs, built-in IR connecting block for up to four IR receivers/emitters, and a remote trigger input for auto-muting. Housed in a compact 1.75-inch single rack space design with gold-plated RCA inputs and 5-way binding posts, it ensures high-fidelity performance with low noise and distortion. Note: This product is no longer manufactured by Elan, now available primarily on secondary markets.
