The ARX ZA 800 is an all-new
8 channel power amplifier, ideal for paging systems,
Foreground and Background music systems, A/V surround
systems, Loudspeaker Multi-Zoning and other installations
requiring multiple amplifier channels. Individual pairs of
channels can be switched to run as single bridged mono
channels for greater output into 8 ohm loads. The
ZAT
8 line
transformer unit is available for applications requiring
100V/70V line operation
AutoLink
Input Looping
Our exclusive
AutoLink design, first seen on the ARX Multi Q
parametric equalizer, allows all six channels to be linked
as required.
Inserting a lead into Channel 1 input, for example, will
automatically route that signal to channels 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
and 8 as well.
However, if another lead is inserted into the Channel 3
Input, the link will break and start again, routing the new
signal to Channels 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
In this way the ZA 800 can be easily and quickly configured
for single and multiple zones without requiring extra patch
leads. Click

New
Technology Inside
For the ZA 800 ARX
design engineers have chosen a conventional toroidal
transformer based Linear Power Supply coupled with
Headroom Enhance circuitry based on our core ISC
error correction technology. ISC (Interactive System
Control) was developed by ARX for our range of Concert
Series Loudspeaker Processors, and is now incorporated into
all our Power Amplifiers and the SPL range of Integrated
Powered Loudspeakers.
It provides maximum power output levels under all AC mains
supply voltages and rated load conditions, eliminating
Output Stage clipping.
Comprehensive
Protection circuitry
onboard
The ZA 800 has a
re-settable High Current switched protection circuit that
instantly disconnects the speakers when a potentially
damaging signal is detected.
New Input delay muting circuitry eliminates switch on/switch
off noise.
Safety
First
The outputs are all
fully isolated Speakon connectors, in keeping with all
current Worldwide approval requirements for amplifier output
connections. There are no bare Input or Output terminals, or
low cost push terminals used on this
Professional product

|
Rear panel accessible multi
turn level controls make the ZA800 ideal for installation
applications where tamper-proof operation is
required.
Note that the amplifiers are
shipped with the level controls set at full on (no
attenuation). Care should be taken setting initial levels
during system turn on!
Built to
Last
Designed from the
ground up using extensive computer modelling and a compact,
efficient toroidal transformer, the ZA 800 has been designed
to satisfy the most demanding professional applications. It
is a distillation of our experience gained through years of
making compact, powerful amplifiers.

Input Connectors
Balanced Jack wired: Tip + Hot, Ring Cold, Sleeve
Audio Ground; AutoLink input looping
Bridged Mono mode
Individual pairs of channels can be switched to single
bridged mono channels for greater output into 8 ohms
Output Connectors
Neutrik Speakon, wired as follows:
Connector 1 - Channel 1 (1+, 1), Channel 2 (2+,
2)
Connector 2 - Channel 3 (1+, 1), Channel 4 (2+,
2)
Connector 3 - Channel 5 (1+, 1), Channel 6 (2+,
2)
Connector 4 - Channel 7 (1+, 1), Channel 8 (2+,
2)
Each chassis connector supplies two output channels - 1 and
2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8. The line connectors should be
wired with Pins 1+ and 1- for the odd numbered outputs, and
2+ and 2- for the evens.
A connector for a bridged output should be wired Pin 1+
and Pin 2+ ONLY.
In a bridged
configuration Pin 1+ will be the positive (+) terminal of
the pair, and Pin 2+ will be the negative (-)
