X A-800 Multi-Zone Power Amplifier
Features
The BasX A-800 is a Multi-Zone Power Amplifier which provides a variety of flexible input and
output options that make it a great solution for a wide variety of applications. The BasX A-800
has eight independent channels of Class A/B audio amplification, grouped into four stereo pairs,
and a stereo line level input bus. Each pair of channels can be configured to accept its input from
the stereo bus input, or from its own independent pair of line level inputs, and each pair can be
configured as a stereo pair of amplifier channels, or bridged to provide a single channel at higher
power. The BasX A-800 can also be configured for manual power switching, or to turn on when it
detects a trigger signal at its trigger input, or an audio signal at any of its audio inputs.
