What's in the box

Expand your A/V receiver's audio distribution capabilities in the home theater and beyond with this powerful two-channel WRAT component, featuring auto power on and Three-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry.

Integra® 2 Channel Amplifier

Three-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry

An important upgrade to the core WRAT concept is Integra’s Three-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry, a low negative feedback topology featuring a discrete triple transistor array to cut distortion and boost current flow to the speakers. As well as improving efficiency, transient response, and audio clarity, discrete transistors run cooler, extending the life of your output stage for more years of trouble-free service.

All-Analog Circuitry Unaffected by Digital Noise

A standard integrated amplifier has the dual task of both processing and amplifying audio signals, and is therefore susceptible to interference from digital circuitry. As a dedicated power amp with all-analog circuitry, the ADM-20.4 is protected against digital interference. When partnered with a quality pre-processor, this unit offers all the benefits of pure analog amplification: a warm, musical, and full-bodied sound.

From input to output, signal purity is maintained at every stage. Housed in a rigid anti- resonant steel-plate chassis and finished with a tough one-piece aluminum front panel, the ADM-20.4 is highly resistant to vibration. A massive EI transformer delivers a steady supply of power to the speakers, while two large 10,000 μF capacitors, heavy- duty transistors, and low-impedance copper bus bars work in concert to enhance the power and fidelity of your audio sources. A heavy-duty aluminum heat sink keeps the unit running cool for superior reliability and longer life.

User-Friendly Features and Better Performance

The ADM-20.4 sports banana plug-compatible speaker posts to ensure a positive connection to the loudspeakers of your choice. The unit is also equipped with selectable audio or 12 V triggers providing automatic power on/off with your home theater system plus a rearside level adjustment. A pair of line-in and line-out ports provide the multi-room capabilities to which this amplifier is perfectly suited.

Specially designed for custom integration of whole home audio systems, the "QS" (Quad Streamer) provides four zones of audio streaming and eight channels of high-performance audio amplification in an ultra-slim, 1U-high, rack-mountable enclosure.

Yamaha MusicCast Multi-Room Streaming Amplifier

Expandable and extremely flexible, the QS works with the MusicCast multi-room audio system, allowing it to be linked with home theater AV receivers, sound bars and Hi-Fi gear in a wide variety of configurations.

XDA-QS5400RK MusicCast Multi-Room Streaming Amplifier (4 Zone, 8 Channel)

Designed for custom integration of a MusicCast multi-room audio system connected via Ethernet LAN in a rack or cabinet

Streams four zones of audio per unit, expandable to 32 zones with simultaneous playback in linked groups of up to 20 zones each

Eight channels of audiophile-grade Class D amplification assignable to any zone, bridgeable and 4-ohm capable, featuring a unique ground loop/hum-free circuit design

Built-in Pandora®, Spotify Connect, SiriusXM Internet Radio, SiriusXM Music for Business, TIDAL, Deezer, Napster and more, plus access to music libraries and linked external sources

Easy control via a free MusicCast app and 3rd-party control systems

1U high, rack-wide enclosure; removable rack ears and faceplate included

Designed from the ground up for custom installation, the “QS” represents the ultimate integrated solution for filling every room in a home with extraordinary sound.

The QS packs four rooms of audio streaming and eight channels of audiophile-grade amplification into a remarkably slim, 1U-high enclosure, allowing you to fully-optimize your valuable rack real estate.

Multiple QS units can be used together to expand up to 32 zones with simultaneous playback of linked groups up to 20 zones each. In addition, the QS offers four zone pre outs that enable it to be combined with the Yamaha XDA-AMP5400RK, a companion multi-room amplifier, to provide more power or more speaker coverage for large areas in a home. The pre outs may also be used to connect powered subwoofers or subwoofer amps.

As a member of the MusicCast family, the QS integrates seamlessly with Yamaha AV receivers, sound bars and more. Now everything – from a surround sound home theater to a bedroom TV system to in-ceiling speakers in the kitchen – can all work beautifully together.

Access all of your favorite music, including built-in streaming services and music libraries on smartphones, tablets and networked-attached storage devices.  (Streaming service availability varies by region.)

Want to hear TV sound or vinyl records throughout the home? Link to a MusicCast receiver, sound bar or turntable to access audio from virtually any source.

The QS supports IP control by 3rd-party control systems used in many of today’s most advanced smart homes.

It's also easy to set up and control with the free MusicCast app, which offers unique personalization features including the ability to assign custom images to rooms, and to rename, rearrange and hide sources.

No ordinary amp, the QS employs ultra-efficient ICEpower integrated circuits to deliver eight channels of pristine, musically-dynamic digital amplification at 50 watts/channel (8 ohms) with an outstanding 10 Hz to 22 kHz (+0/-3 dB) frequency response and 106 dB signal-to-noise ratio. It is 4 ohm capable at 100 watts/channel and bridgeable to 200 watts/channel (8 ohms).

The curse of the custom integrator: ground loop hum, a common and vexing side effect of connecting a bunch of electronics together in a rack. The QS takes care of it with a brilliantly-engineered differential circuit design. Sometimes it’s what you don’t hear that sounds the most amazing.

Experience every detail of your favorite recordings. The QS supports high-res audio playback up to 192 kHz/24-bit, and employs the same premium ESS Sabre DACs (Digital-to-Analog Converters) and PML capacitors used in our flagship AVENTAGE AV receivers.

The audio performance of the QS is further enhanced with a suite of exclusive Yamaha technologies, including our Compressed Music Enhancer, Advanced Bass Extension Processing and volume adaptive EQ. The result – it always sounds great.

Mount it in a rack with the included ears or remove the ears for shelf installations. The included magnetic faceplate discourages tampering and provides the perfect cosmetic finish.

The QS is truly made for custom integration, with Euroblock-style speaker connectors, dual RJ-45 Ethernet ports and a detachable AC cable for smart connectivity, and IP, IR and 12 V Trigger Out jacks for versatile control.

In addition to supporting external sources through linking with MusicCast receivers and sound bars, the QS offers an Aux input that can be selected for playback in any zone and a Cut-In input that automatically senses an input signal and temporarily overrides the selected source. This gives you flexibility to integrate media players, CD changers or even paging systems. Thru-Outs let you set up a bus to additional QS units.

The Chime contact closure inputs let you generate a doorbell chime or, for example, an alert for a gate from a common switch. Output zones and chime sound selection can be configured using the Web Setup.

Access Basic or Advanced settings via a Web Setup menu and store commonly-used profiles for faster configuration of future projects.
