🎚️ Small Amp, Big Personality

The ZAmp v3 squeezes powerful performance into a half-width 1U chassis—ideal for desktop setups, small zones, or hidden installations. Despite its compact size, this amp packs a surprising punch that makes it stand out in any setup.

With 45 W per channel into 8 Ω (60 W into 4 Ω), and bridgeable to 90 W mono when you need more muscle, it’s the perfect companion for small speakers, surround zones, or secondary listening areas.

🛠️ Where It Fits in Your Setup

Perfect for driving small desktop monitors, powering a bedroom TV, or layering Atmos or surround zones in home theater racks. It supports 12V triggers and audio sensing, so it turns itself on when you start listening—no extra buttons, no fuss.

Want more power? Bridge the channels to get 90 W mono for a sub or a single speaker that needs a little extra push.

Parasound-sound from your surrounds, your Zone 2, your office! (Just bought another)

I bought my first ZAmp in 2019 for the Zone 2 speakers from my AVR. There's simply no comparison in sound between the ZAmp and the internal amp modules in my AVR. No comparison. The result will make you smile (it did me).

Having since purchased a JC5 for my main speakers (which I LOVE by the way), I can now say that the little ZAmp gives the Parasound-sound in so many settings where all you need is a little amp.

I've used it as a Zone Amp. I've used it as an L/R amp from my AVR (where I MUCH prefer it to the built in amps, but it lost out to the JC5 when that came into my system), I've used it for surrounds (where it sounds great, but is less critical), and I've used it to make a great little office system with some left over speakers (from an upgrade).

And now I've just purchased my second ZAmp for some more whole house fun, This is a living room area with Ceiling speakers run by a WiiM mini directly into the ZAmp. Run the WiiM room correction, give some good quality watts from the ZAmp and you have surprisingly high-end sound where no one would expect it.

I have a Chi-Fi R2R dace in my system (guess whihc), and I really appreciate the sound quality for the price, but I just couldn't bring myself to buy an Amazon $99 amp, knowing what the ZAmp sounds like.

I love this little thing, and you will too.
