The NuVo ZA215 in-wall amplifier is a high quality 15 watts per channel stereo audio amplifier that is
built into a standard sized UK single gang back box. It has a volume control knob on the front for simple control.
The Nuvo ZA215 has a hard-wired stereo source input on the rear of the unit and an over-riding mini
stereo source input on the front. The hard-wired (FIXED SOURCE) rear inputs enable long-term connections of source units like an iPod dock, TV or computer,
while the front mini stereo inputs enable easy on-the-fly connection of portable devices like iPods, MP3 players and laptop computers.
The ZA215 can also be used as a power amplifier connected to an existing pre-amp or AV receiver with variable line level output. In this
case you use the alternative variable connections (VAR SOURCE) on the rear. The ZA215 front volume knob has no control of this input.
For hard wiring inputs such as TV to the rear use twin screened audio cable.
Terminate this on the left/right/ground screw down Fixed Source connections on the rear of the ZA215. At the input end if you are connecting to a
wall outlet use either the QED WM05 wall outlet for a single input
or QED WM07 for a twin input and solder to the connectors, or use
the Apex 2 x 3.5mm module.
The NuVo ZA215's intuitive on-wall controls make it easy for the casual user to control source selection, power and volume.
The NuVo ZA215 in wall amplifier is ideal for single room solutions with an input source such as an
iPod dock. By connecting the iPod dock directly to the rear of the
in-wall amplifier, you can create a very neat solution, whilst still giving the freedom to plug a laptop into the front. Wire the audio
output to a pair of in-ceiling speakers (4 or 8 Ohms) to complete the package.
If you want to connect two pairs of speakers to the ZA215, this can be done but you must have high efficiency speakers to minimise the load
on this relatively modest amplifier. We would suggest you consider the
Niles high efficiency CM610 pair of speakers or for smaller
rooms the Ratio RC61S in-ceiling single stereo speaker.
The technology behind the ZA215 is proven and tested. NuVo has already sold 1,000 in-wall amplifiers in the UK into schools, colleges and hotels.
