CDA-16 has been engineered to work with any existing Bowers & Wilkins custom installation speaker. With the ability to drive 16 channels or 8 zones in a compact 1U design, CDA-16 gives you the maximum performance with the minimum rack space.
Power up to sixteen installation speakers in just one rack unit of space with the Bowers & Wilkins CDA-16 Distribution Amplifier. Providing maximum performance in minimum space, the CDA-16 has been engineered to work well with any Bowers & Wilkins custom installation speakers. WIth 50W per channel of class-D amplification, the CDA-16 can power up to eight zones separately and supports bridge mono mode for where you need more power per speaker. Signal-sensing power on and off is available, and 12V trigger in and out allow for integration with most home-automation systems.
