I purchased this because of the flexibility it provides for the future of my whole home music system. I'll update as I own it longer, but just got it and am testing it out. The amp weighs in at about 40 lbs, so make sure you have a good place for it. It fires up with no problem. The phoenix connectors make a very secure connection and ease of installation since you can pop them out to terminate the wire and then pop back in to connect to the amp. The sound is good out of my speakers. They have more power than with my previous configuration. I'm very pleased so far. I have a Sonos Connect plugged into the bus input and will probably expand in the future with more Connects as I need them. I will try to keep an eye on the auto function as I've heard of it failing prematurely. So far it worked fine. I will be testing out the standby power draw to confirm that it is going to sleep when nothing is plugged in. Review: Surprisingly Fantastic - Multi-room Work Horse - Not an audio/video expert nor a home theater expert, but I would rate myself above a novice. After extensive researching from reading several articles regarding multi-room setups, equipment, and wiring, I found this little gem. Expect everything from a 1240 but more with extra I listed below: It is really heavy - 40 lbs. nearly the same as the 1240 This unit is cooled passively through heat sinks (no fans). It only gets warm at best so longevity can be expected since there isn't heat degradation. Not really a big fan of Phoenix connection. Prefer banana plugs. Not sure with this whole gauge being at least 12 or 14 if you are running wires greater than 100 feet. I have wires that run approximately 125 feet and 16 gauge does fine. The resistance doesn’t seem to be an issue and the amplifier doesn’t think so either. Also wouldn’t think a 12 gauge would even fit. There isn't an issue with the music being distorted and the music is awfully loud that I don’t dare going to the maximum on the volume control with 60% on the TX-8050. Overall, this power amplifier is all you need for a multi-room. Don’t spend any more for power amplifier as this is more than adequate for just having your rooms blasted with music. Again this review is for multi-room purposes. Setup: TX-8050 powering - [Channel A] (3) Polk Audio RC60i 2-Way In-Ceiling Speakers and [Channel B] (4) Polk Audio Atrium 4 Speakers. PREOUT -> Powering (12) Polk Audio RC60i 2-Way In-Ceiling Speakers by 16 gauge 4 wire conductor with each pair running into a wall control volume. ## Features - 12 channels (6 stereo zones) in one convenient enclosure - Independent and bus inputs enable unparalleled flexibility - Bridgeable channel outputs provide additional power when needed - Independent channel gain controls allow the output of each speaker to be perfectly matched - Multi-stage protection circuitry for reliability and easy troubleshooting of audio system - Temperature controlled cooling fans ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HFG41JI | | Best Sellers Rank | #43,437 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #247 in Audio Component Amplifiers | | Brand Name | Dayton Audio | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (52) | | Included Components | Quick Start Guide | | Item Dimensions | 16.7 x 14.25 x 4 inches | | Item Weight | 16.33 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Dayton Audio | | Material Type | metal, plastic | | Model | MA1260 | | Mounting Type | Rack Mount | | Number of Channels | 12 | | Output Power | 65 Watts | | Package Type Name | Box | | Specification Met | Class D" Or "Frequency Response 7.5 Hz to 48 Khz | | UPC | 848791001215 | | Voltage | 115 Volts | | Warranty Description | 5 Year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Dayton Audio - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 16.7 x 14.25 x 4 inches - **Manufacturer:** Dayton Audio - **Mounting Type:** Rack Mount - **Voltage:** 115 Volts ## Images ![Dayton Audio MA1260 Multi-Zone 12 Channel Amplifier (MA1260) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Je46s7RmL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Model** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Amplifier for whole home music system. *by M***N on December 5, 2014* This is great so far.

Don't rely on the warranty..... *by A***R on June 17, 2017* Worked well while it lasted (5 months). The unit showed a fault in one zone. Sent the unit back, was told that it was due to a lightning strike. The unit was connected to a surge protector along with the other 3 amps and devices. Customer service felt that surge protectors would not help because this was a caused be an antenna affect from the speaker wires back toward the unit. Maybe in theory this could happen. There are a few descriptions of this on the web, however those scenarios report multi- unit failures. I'm not sure why the other amps connected to the other 11 zones in the house were not at all impacted including 3 outdoor ceiling zones. IMO, this seems like a great explanation to avoid warranty claims. was told the whole amp is too costly to repair. Needless to say, I'm disappointed and would causing buyers. This apparently is a disposable unit. Spend the extra money on a quality unit like russound. My russound units seemed were not phased by the antenna affect. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dayton Audio MA1260 Multi-Zone 12 Channel Amplifier (MA1260) - Monoprice 1.5ft Premium 2 RCA Plug/2 RCA Plug M/M 22AWG Cable - Black - WiiM Pro Plus AirPlay 2 Receiver, Google Cast Audio, Multiroom Streamer with Premium AKM DAC, Voice Remote, Works with Alexa/Siri/Google, Stream Hi-Res Audio from Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal and More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/3771542-dayton-audio-ma1260-multi-zone-12-channel-amplifier-ma1260](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/3771542-dayton-audio-ma1260-multi-zone-12-channel-amplifier-ma1260) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
