Bowers & Wilkins - CDA-16 - Power Amplifier
Bowers & Wilkins CDA-16 Distribution Amplifier
Ensure the best possible sound from your in-wall or in-ceiling Custom Installation loudspeakers with Bowers & Wilkins' powerful yet compact distribution amplifier.
The power to impress
Bowers & Wilkins' 16-channel distribution power amplifier can drive a mix of in-ceiling or in-wall speakers in up to eight rooms simultaneously, all from one compact, efficient component.
Mighty flexible
CDA-16
Bowers & Wilkins' CDA-16 distribution power amplifier can drive any Bowers & Wilkins custom installation speaker to new heights of performance. Offering 16 channels of power, the CDA-16 can enable your whole home with sound yet takes up minimal space thanks to its compact 1U design. Its configurable specification supports bridging of its Class D stereo channels into even more powerful mono outputs, if needed.
