The Extron NetPA 204 POE is a compact, Dante-enabled four-channel amplifier powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet), delivering up to 20 watts RMS per channel. Built for concealed installation above ceiling tiles, the device combines network audio and power delivery over a single CAT‑network cable—automatically adapting to PoE, PoE+, or PoE++ power classes for scalable output .
Its built-in 4×4 DSP mix matrix enables flexible routing of Dante inputs to any amplifier output or Dante output. It also offers essential DSP controls such as gain adjustment, filtering, dynamics, ducking, and delay. Dante Domain Manager and AES67 support ensure compatibility in enterprise-grade audio networks.
The half‑rack 1U enclosure is UL‑2043 plenum‑rated, fanless, and convection‑cooled—ideal for above-ceiling installations where silent, hidden amplification is required.
