Fryette ZMACS 4x4 Impedance Matching Amp & Cab Selector
Fryette Amplification introduces ZMACS, the world’s first and only selectable and programmable Impedance Matching Amp & Cab Selector!
You are constantly searching for new sounds and new ways to improve your existing sound. We understand the constantly evolving nature of artistic creativity and the search for the perfect sound to complement your ever-widening musical vision. Providing the tools to help you create your own sonic signature is our primary mission.
Today’s players own and use all kinds of gear and expect maximum functionality and interconnectivity between seemingly incompatible bits and pieces. While there are plenty of products on the market that help make that possible, many novel interface possibilities are often overlooked or discarded in the name of convenience, cost, weight and size. Connecting multiple amplifiers, attenuators and speaker cabinets is a textbook example of this scenario.
Of critical importance in connecting amplifiers and speakers is impedance matching and cable integrity. Until now, no other company has adequately addressed these often-misunderstood issues. At Fryette, we not only recognize the problem, but we also fully understand the dynamics of the solution.
Enter ZMACS. The world’s first Impedance Matching Amp & Cab Selector. ZMACS allows you to select and program the correct operating impedances between your amps and cabs while helping mitigate the negative effects of long speaker cable lengths.
