CasaTunes CT-6X6MA is a 6×6 matrix amplifier that combines a hardware audio matrix switch with six stereo power amplifiers for whole-home multi-room audio. It expands with additional CT-6X6MA units up to 36 rooms.
Key Features
- 6 zones with stereo amplification: RMS 50 W × 6 @ 8 Ω; 100 W × 6 @ 4 Ω
- Bridge mode: RMS 100 W × 3 @ 8 Ω
- 6 source inputs (5× analogue + 1× analogue or digital / S/PDIF)
- 6 stereo preamplifier outputs for powered subwoofers or secondary amplifiers
- 6× +12 V trigger outputs; Page In and Mute In triggers
- Hardware matrix switching for near-zero latency (suited to TV audio as well as music)
- Includes six keypads and a remote control (per CasaTunes product page)
Overview
Any input source can play in any room or combination of rooms. Unused inputs accept TVs, set-top boxes, Chromecast, Echo Link, Sonos Connect/Port, phonographs and similar line-level sources. Bridge mode and pre-outs support higher-power or subwoofer setups. Units can be stacked for larger homes (up to five additional 6×6 amplifiers for 36 rooms).
