Blaze Connect 122: Ultra-compact 125 W, 2-channel DSP amp with hybrid Lo-Z/Hi-Z power, network control, and automatic power sharing.
The Blaze Audio PowerZone Connect 122 is a compact yet versatile 125 W Class-D amplifier designed for small-to-medium commercial installations. Its half-rack, 1U form factor makes it incredibly easy to integrate where space is limited, while its network capabilities provide full professional control.
This 2-channel amplifier offers a highly flexible hybrid power distribution system, capable of driving conventional Lo-Z (4Ω to 16Ω) loudspeakers and Hi-Z (70V/100V) transformer-coupled loudspeakers. The unit features 2 x 60 W in Lo-Z mode and can bridge to 1 x 125 W in Hi-Z mode. Innovative automatic power sharing technology ensures the total available power is used efficiently and proportionately across the outputs. It is powered by ultra-efficient Pascal UMAC Class-D technology and a UREC universal power supply with PFC, ensuring global compatibility and Energy Star/ErP compliance.
All configuration is managed via the integrated PowerZone Control web app, which you can access wirelessly or wired through the network connection. This platform provides full-matrix DSP configuration, allowing you to manage inputs/outputs, control sound zones, and access professional EQ settings quickly—even from your phone's browser. Connectivity is future-proofed with S/PDIF input/output and configurable GPIO for seamless integration with external control systems. The Connect 122 is UL listed and backed by an outstanding 5-year warranty.
