X  A-800 Multi-Zone Power Amplifier

 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing our new Emotiva BasX A-800 Multi-Zone Power Amplifier.  

Our BasX product line is dedicated to the philosophy that high-quality products that deliver true 

audiophile sound quality do not need to be expensive to buy or complicated to configure and 

enjoy. Our BasX power amplifiers give you great sound quality, excellent technical performance, and 

outstanding value. 

The BasX amps all use a classic audiophile architecture, centered around a heavy-duty linear 

power supply, class A/B amplification, and the high current capability you need to sound great 

with even difficult to drive speakers. We’ve paid special attention to important details like heavy-

duty audiophile grade binding posts and carefully laid out signal paths. And we’ve also included 

important high-end features like differential inputs, automatic line voltage detection, and 

microprocessor controlled status indicators and fault protection. 

The BasX A-800 provides eight separate channels of amplification, which can be used as eight 

separate channels, or as four stereo pairs, or as four bridged channels, each capable of delivering 

higher power. A pair of stereo bus inputs can be used to send the same source signal to each pair of 

channels, or each channel can be fed with its own individual input signal. The BasX A-800 is perfect 

for supplying audio to multiple sets of stereo speakers in different rooms or separate locations like a 

basement, patio, or kitchen.

Happy listening!
