Specifically designed as a simple solution for those who want to extend high quality audio from their main entertainment area to many rooms in a home, the ZS5300 brings Marantz excellence to the custom market with a full 60 watts RMS output from each of its six channels. It will direct up to three separate sources to three different rooms or zones. Need even more coverage? Simply use up to three ZS5300s for nine-zone capability. Party Mode lets you send the same signal throughout your home. You’ll find front panel source and zone status indicators. And “pass through” pre-amp outputs so you can add a more powerful amplifier if needed. An RC-5 remote connection, local input capability, and 12V “trigger” outputs complete the list of custom-friendly features. Sound quality? Well, suffice it to say that Custom Retailer, an influential magazine serving professional installers, said that the ZS5300 had the “speed and clarity” of our famous MA500 monoblock amplifiers and delivered a “sense of authority that is missing from lesser amps designed for multi-room use.”
