Description

The BasX A5 is a five channel power amplifier that delivers 95 watts / channel into 8 Ohms and 130 watts / channel into 4 Ohms, all channels driven, with a rated THD+N of < 0.02%, and an A-weighted S/N ratio of 116 dB. The BasX A5 features a heavy-duty linear power supply, high-quality Class A/B amplification, transparent fault protection, and a trigger input and output. High quality industry standard unbalanced RCA inputs enable the BasX A5 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 A5 to deliver true audiophile performance and sound quality at an amazingly affordable price.

The BasX A5 is a great choice if you're looking for a high quality five channel amplifier to go with a processor in a new 5.1 channel surround sound system, or if you're looking for an easy way to upgrade the amps in your existing surround sound receiver.

Sound Quality First

  • Designed first and foremost to sound great in all types of audio systems with all types of music.
