Denon Heos Drive – HS2
$3,999AUD inc. GST
The Denon HEOS Drive HS2 is a powerful, professional‑grade whole‑home audio distribution amplifier designed for seamless multi‑zone music streaming. Engineered specifically for custom installations, it consolidates four independent HEOS zones and eight channels of high‑efficiency Class D amplification into a single, compact 2U chassis—making it an ideal backbone for modern smart‑home audio systems.
With robust network streaming capabilities, the HEOS Drive HS2 delivers high‑quality audio to multiple rooms simultaneously, all controlled through the intuitive HEOS app. Each zone operates independently, allowing users to play different music in different rooms or synchronize all zones for unified whole‑home playback.
Its extensive connectivity—including analog and digital inputs, USB, network streaming, and multi‑zone outputs—ensures compatibility with a wide range of audio sources and system configurations. Built‑in HEOS wireless multiroom technology provides access to popular streaming services, local libraries, and networked media, while the amplifier’s efficient design ensures cool, reliable operation even in demanding installations.
Designed for integrators and audio professionals, the HEOS Drive HS2 offers exceptional flexibility, clean power delivery, and a streamlined approach to multi‑room audio—making it a premium choice for whole‑home entertainment systems.
