Sonance has announced the UA Series local zone amplifiers, delivering DSP amplification in an ultra-compact form factor specifically designed for local zone applications, are now shipping globally. The new lineup includes the UA 2-125 and UA 2-125 ARC, both engineered to provide 125 watts per channel with fully capable DSP and Bluetooth-enabled app setup for bedroom and TV music, outdoor entertainment, or any two-channel location with space limitations. Sonance is showcasing its breadth of solutions at CEDIA Expo/CIX 2025 in Booth #3501.
According to Sonance, the UA Series amplifiers measure just 5.25 inches x 1.875 inches x 7.825 inches with T-slot heatsink chassis that allows for flexible installation into TV back boxes, structured wiring cans or Atelix-type outdoor-rated enclosures. Both models feature fully capable DSP with Bluetooth-enabled app setup, enabling integrators to configure and tune systems remotely without additional hardware, says Sonance.
“The UA Series addresses the growing need for local zone amplification in spaces where traditional rack-mounted amplifiers simply don’t fit,” remarks Skylar Gray, product director at Sonance. “With integrated DSP and Bluetooth setup, these amplifiers provide professional-grade functionality in applications previously limited to basic amplification solutions.”
According to Sonance, the UA 2-125 features comprehensive connectivity including analog RCA inputs, digital optical and coax inputs, plus analog RCA outputs with volume tracking. Meanwhile, the UA 2-125 ARC model adds HDMI eARC/CEC functionality. This enables direct connection to modern displays with support for 2-channel PCM up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution to unlock simple audio control for secondary TV applications.
Features and Key Specifications
According to Sonance, both models include intelligent control features:
- Audio Sense and IR Control with learning capability
