4 Zones of Independent HEOS Audio

The HEOS Drive HS2 enables four separate audio zones, each capable of playing individual sources or syncing together in party mode. Each zone supports stereo playback, making it ideal for living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and even outdoor spaces. Built-in Class D amplification powers eight channels at 60W per channel (8 ohms), while bridged mode doubles output to 130W in two zones, ideal for larger or more demanding speaker setups.

Flexible Inputs & Outputs for Every Setup

Designed for versatility, the HEOS Drive HS2 features a matrix switching system with a comprehensive selection of inputs:

• 4 x RCA stereo analog inputs
• 2 x optical digital inputs
• 2 x coaxial digital inputs
• 4 x USB ports (one per zone for external storage playback)

Each zone includes pre-amp stereo outputs, configurable for stereo or mixed mono output. This allows integration with external amps or active speakers, giving installers complete flexibility for complex audio environments.

Advanced DSP with Crossover Management

Built-in DSP (Digital Signal Processing) gives you control over each output with adjustable high-pass and low-pass filters, allowing each zone to be tailored for full-range speakers, subwoofers, or satellite setups. Define crossover points to fine-tune performance for a truly optimised soundstage in every room.

Wireless or Wired Networking

The HEOS Drive HS2 connects over dual-band Wi-Fi or via Ethernet for solid network stability. It integrates with existing home networks and supports up to 32 HEOS devices, making it ideal for large homes, luxury apartments, or commercial properties.
