Biamp PREZONE2 Multi-Zone Stereo Preamplifier – Dual-Zone Audio Control with Paging
The Biamp PREZONE2 is a professional-grade stereo preamplifier that offers flexible audio source selection and volume control across two independent zones, along with selective paging functionality. Designed for intuitive operation, it features front-panel controls for each zone—including volume, source selection, and microphone settings—providing immediate, real-time feedback on system status.
With four levels of audio priority—emergency, paging, mic, and line—the PREZONE2 is ideal for dynamic commercial environments requiring reliable audio management. It includes four stereo line inputs, two mic/line inputs with 48V phantom power, and dedicated paging and emergency inputs. Each output zone supports independent mono/stereo switching and includes both balanced Euroblock and unbalanced RCA connectors for maximum integration flexibility.
The PREZONE2 also offers network and remote control capabilities via a built-in web interface, RS-232, and optional wall-mounted control panels. With auto standby, rack-mountable design, and UL/CE certifications, it is a reliable solution for restaurants, retail, education, houses of worship, and more.
