• Designed to sound great with every speaker and all types of music.
• Perfect for a stereo system or to power or upgrade front main channels.
The BasX A2 is a two-channel power amplifier that delivers 160 watts/channel into 8 Ohms and 250 watts/channel into 4 Ohms, with a rated THD+N of <0.02%, and an A-weighted S/N ratio of 112 db. The BasX A2 features a heavy-duty linear power supply, high-quality Class A/B amplification, transparent fault protection, and a trigger input and output. The BasX A2 also offers a convenient feature that allows the amp to switch on when an audio signal is detected at its input - which is especially useful if your preamp or receiver doesn't offer a trigger output. High-quality industry standard unbalanced RCA inputs enable the BasX A2 to be used with almost any preamp or processor and audiophile-grade five-way speaker terminals accept banana plugs, spade lugs, or bare wire. These features combine to enable the BasX A2 to deliver true audiophile performance and sound quality at an amazingly affordable price.
The BasX A2 is the ideal amplifier to serve as the foundation of a great-sounding stereo system, to power the front main speakers on a surround sound system, or to upgrade the front left and right channels of your favourite surround sound receiver.
