Please help, single input, multiple outputs

Hi All,
I have done the search, but my problem returns no results.
This must be fairly easy, I need to have a single input amp that has multiple outputs for 3-5 speakers. I know that many amps output to multiple speakers (for home theater), but they all seem to have only one output to the one input channel. I lurk everyday, but seldom post, my bad, but most of you know so much more than myself. What is the best way to accomplish this task.
Thank you in advance,
Doug Clary

They're called distribution amps that are able to distribute one input throughout multiple outputs.
The proper source for that to shop is bhphotovideo.com in section pro-audio ->> distribution amplifiers.

"I know that many amps output to multiple speakers (for home theater), but they all seem to have only one output to the one input channel. " If you set this to ALL-MONO, the single input will go to all outputs.

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you for your help. This is for a large restaurant that is being built that the owner has asked me for my opinion on how they can get the best sound for the bucks. We have talked about this and one of my pet peeves is terrible sound in the restaurant environment that really spoils the dining out experience. Don't know much about commercial systems, but do know quite a bit about concert and home systems.
Thank you,
Doug

Sorry I helped. Generally, I prefer absolutely no "background" music since, when there is, it is often abusive.

Why not purchase 2 chanel Int amp with 100 Watts or higher. Also get a Bryston 3 way Speaker switch. You can run 6 speakers at once.
