Commercial Multi-Zone AudioOne Amplifier, Every Zone
Give dining rooms, bars, lobbies and sales floors their own audio zone from a single chassis. IDS CCTV supplies the Sonos Amp Multi — four independent zones, eight assignable outputs and 125W per channel — with the rack options and network connectivity commercial installations call for.
Built for Commercial Spaces
Commercial audio is a zoning problem before it is a volume problem: one area needs music while another needs quiet, and each needs its own level. A multi-zone amplifier solves that in one rack unit.
Restaurants, bars & cafés
Separate dining, bar and patio zones with independent sources and volume, from one amplifier chassis.

Commercial Multi-Zone Audio FAQ
What is a commercial multi-zone audio system?
It is a single amplifier or amplifier stack that delivers audio to several independently controlled areas — for example a dining room, bar and patio — so each zone can run its own source and volume. The Sonos Amp Multi covers four zones from eight assignable outputs in one 1.5U chassis.
Which business types use multi-zone audio amplifiers?
Restaurants and bars, hotels and hospitality floors, retail showrooms, offices and clinics, gyms, warehouses and multi-tenant facilities all use multi-zone amplifiers for background music, paging-friendly audio and zone-by-zone control.
How much power do commercial zones need?
The Sonos Amp Multi delivers 125 watts per channel at 8 ohms. Zone count and speaker load determine how many chassis you deploy: one unit covers four zones, and identical zones can be paired for richer stereo sound.
Does the system need network cabling?
The Sonos Amp Multi supports both Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6, so zones can be added over the existing network. Where you extend into a rack, the optional Sonos 2U Rack Mount (SKU 4S-RKMTAWW1BLK) keeps airflow and cable management tidy.
Can you supply multi-zone audio alongside security cameras?
Yes. IDS CCTV supplies both the audio and the surveillance hardware, so a facility can standardise on one distributor for cameras, recorders, access control and multi-zone audio.
