The Acurus Scorpion is a compact, yet powerful multi-room audio solution for residential and light commercial installations. The Scorpion delivers clean, clear audio power to 8 stereo loudspeaker zones using 16 channels of high-efficiency, low-distortion audio amplification. Two additional stereo zones can be driven from internal preamplifiers for a total of 10 stereo zones. Any zone may be driven independently or from one of two global inputs.
The Scorpion sets a new standard for ease of installation through both its web-based setup and its simple, intuitive, full-color touch-sensitive control panel. Zone audio parameters may be independently tuned for varying speaker sensitivities, room sizes, stereo/mono configuration, and loudness. Volume may be controlled for each zone or as part of a volume group. Stereo zones may be assigned to individual trigger inputs or added to trigger input groups.
*Benefits:
- Compact 2RU height.
- 8 powered stereo zones + 2 preamp zones.
- Low-distortion discrete analog preamp stages.
- Cascade multiple Scorpions when more than 10 zones are needed.
- Un-bridged mode: 40Wx16 (8Ω).
- Bridged mode: 160Wx8 (8Ω).
- Simple mobile device control out-of-the-box.
- Ethernet, RS-232, 12V trigger in and out.
- Interfaces with 3rd party control drivers: Control4, Crestron, Elan, RTI, Savant, URC.
- Built-in rack ears.
- Made in the USA.
