INTRODUCTION
The Triad One is a single-zone, high-resolution streaming amplifier and the
easy way to add music into any room of a Control4-enabled home without
the need to pull wire back to a central location. The Triad One supports
high-resolution audio playback, up to 192 kHz / 24 bit, with a built-in
amplifier boasting an impressive 105 dB signal-to-noise ratio and 100 watts
per channel—enabling incredible sound in any room. Also included is a
built-in 10-band parametric EQ delivering exceptional sound output and
room optimization.
The Triad One is also a great alternative to an AVR in a bedroom, kitchen,
or other location when surround sound is not a requirement. Not only
does the Triad One have digital and analog audio inputs to take the audio
output from a TV to power a soundbar, it has two IR outputs to control the
TV and another local source, if needed.
A line-level subwoofer output rounds out the system for deep bass when
connected to a powered subwoofer. The Triad One is available in white and
black, can be placed horizontally or vertically, and can be installed on a
bookshelf, in a rack, or mounted behind a TV.
