Stereo amplifier Audac PRE126 — 2-zone, 6-channel preamplifier

Audac PRE126 is a stereo preamplifier designed for multi-zone audio distribution, providing two-zone control and six output channels. The unit offers source switching and level control for connected inputs and distributes audio signals to separate zones or amplifier channels. It is intended for installations that require flexible zone management and multiple-channel output in commercial or domestic environments.

Advantages

The preamplifier supports independent level control and routing to deliver separate audio sources or the same source to different zones. Compact form factor and straightforward front-panel controls allow easy integration into rack or wall-mounted systems. Internal circuitry is optimized for low-noise performance and stable signal distribution across all six channels, enabling consistent sound quality when used with power amplifiers or active speaker systems.

Suitable for

• Multi-room audio systems in homes, apartments, or offices
• Background music distribution in retail, hospitality, or public spaces
• Small to medium commercial installations requiring zone-based control
• Integration with additional power amplifiers for larger systems

Key specifications

• Stereo preamplifier topology with two independent zone outputs
• Six output channels for flexible routing to amplifiers or zoned speakers
• Source selection and level control for connected inputs
• Low-noise signal path designed for clear audio distribution
• Compact design suitable for rack or surface installation

How to use

Connect audio sources to the preamplifier inputs and route outputs to appropriate power amplifiers or active speakers for each zone. Use the front-panel controls or provided selectors to switch between sources and adjust output levels per zone. Ensure all connected power amplifiers and speakers are compatible in impedance and power handling, and power up devices in the recommended sequence to avoid unwanted transients.

Usage recommendations

Position the preamplifier close to source devices to minimize long analogue cable runs. For optimal performance, use balanced connections where available and set nominal gain levels before final volume adjustments in each zone. Regularly check wiring and connections in multi-zone setups to maintain stable operation and consistent audio levels across all six channels.
