X A-800 Multi-Zone Power Amplifier
3. Unbalanced Stereo Bus Inputs
The BasX A-800 has a single pair of stereo unbalanced Bus Inputs. The Bus Inputs accept a stereo
line level input signal, which may then optionally be routed to one or more pairs of amplifier
channels.
Note: The Bus Switch associated with each Zone determines whether the amplifier channels in
that Zone receive their signal from the Bus Inputs or from their individual Channel Inputs.
4. Channel Inputs, Outputs, and Controls
The output amplifier channels in the BasX A-800 are divided into four separate Zones. Each Zone
may be configured independently to get its audio input signal from the Bus Input or its own
individual inputs, and to operate as a pair of stereo channels or as a single Bridged channel. See
the section entitled BasX A-800 Channel Inputs And Outputs for details.
5. AC Power Voltage Indicator LEDs
The BasX A-800 is designed to operate on either 115 VAC or 230 VAC, and automatically detect
and configure itself to operate with your local line voltage. These LEDs tell you which line voltage
the A-800 amplifier has detected.
6. AC Power Switch
Switches the main AC power to the BasX A-800 power amp On and Off. When this switch is Off,
no controls operate (the BasX A-800 cannot be turned on manually using the Standby Button, or
triggered On automatically by the presence of a trigger signal or audio signal).
7. Trigger Input and Trigger Output
When the Power Mode Switch is in the Trigger position, the BasX A-800 amplifier is switched
On (from Standby) when a trigger signal is presented at the Trigger Input; the BasX power amp
returns to Standby when the trigger signal is removed. Whenever the BasX A-800 is On, a 12 VDC
signal is sent from the Trigger Output to control other devices.
Note: The Trigger Input is only enabled when the Power Mode Switch is set to the Trigger
position.
8. IEC Power Cord Receptacle
The BASX power amp can be powered by any receptacle that provides either 115 VAC or 230 VAC
at 50/60 Hz. This receptacle accepts a standard removable IEC AC power cable (a high-quality
commercial power cable is included).
