The BasX A1 features a heavy-duty linear power supply, high-quality Class A\/B amplification, transparent fault protection, and a trigger input and output. A high quality industry standard unbalanced RCA input enables the BasX A1 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 A1 to deliver true audiophile performance and sound quality at an amazingly affordable price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn addition to the features it shares with our other BasX power amplifiers, as a true monoblock the BasX A1 also offers several other benefits that will be appreciated by dedicated audiophiles. Monoblocks offer the ultimate assurance that there will be no unwanted interaction between channels. The audio signal for each channel is handled by a separate amplifier, powered by its own heavy duty power supply, housed in its own separate chassis. This also gives you the option of minimizing the length of your speaker cables by locating each amplifier close to the speaker it powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSimply choose as many BasX A1 monoblocks as you need today… or use them for your most critical channels today and upgrade your other channels later. And, of course, a BasX A1 is also a great way to upgrade your center channel to match your main stereo pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSound Quality First\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned first and foremost to sound great in all types of audio systems with all types of music.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat sounding Class A\/B output stage ensures smooth, detailed sound and incredibly natural imaging, without a trace of harshness or strain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow noise, wide bandwidth design, and a highly optimized input stage, lets you hear everything your high definition sources have to offer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotally stable with real world speakers in real systems; not just on a test bench.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue monoblock design delivers absolute isolation between channels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSolid Engineering And Quality Construction\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA heavy duty linear power supply with an oversized toroidal power transformer delivers plenty of current to drive even difficult speakers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop quality parts and construction throughout deliver years of reliable trouble-free service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy steel chassis with milled aluminum faceplate offers strength and rugged good looks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble sided FR4 circuit boards, with plated-through holes, help optimize signal paths and minimize the need for point-to-point wiring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFlexible Signal Connections and Power Options\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnbalanced input via industry standard RCA connector accepts all standard unbalanced interconnects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy duty insulated five-way speaker binding posts allow you to use a wide range of speaker cables with bare wires, lugs, or banana plugs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote trigger input and output allow the BasX A1 to control and be controlled by other trigger-enabled equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe BasX A1 is designed to operate on either 115 VAC or 230 VAC at 50\/60 Hz and will automatically detect and configure itself for the proper line voltage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStylish New Look\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur redesigned front panel gives the new BasX A1 a sleek modern aesthetic that fits well with virtually any room décor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStrong Yet Silent System Protection\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudiophile-grade fault protection is entirely transparent under normal listening conditions, yet protects the amp and your other equipment from virtually all common faults.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull three-year warranty ensures that you’ll be able to enjoy your BasX power amplifier for years to come.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCircuit Topology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe BasX A1 is a monoblock (one channel) power amplifier.
