Key Features
The Emotiva BasX A1 Power Amplifier is an RCA-equipped monoblock with an audiophile-level Class A/B output stage. Capable of delivering 200 watts of power into eight ohms and 325 watts into four ohms, the A1 achieves outstanding performance with a rated THD+N of less than 0.02 per cent and an A-weighted S/N ratio of 112 dB. Monoblocks are one of the most definitive ways of maintaining signal integrity in your home audio system. Providing each speaker with its own amp not only assures full channel separation—entirely negating crosstalk within the unit—but also enables high-end speakers to reach their peak performance by providing an independent power supply driven by an oversized toroidal transformer.
The BasX A1 Monoblock stands out with its sleek, user-friendly design, featuring high-quality five-way speaker terminals and an industry-standard unbalanced RCA input. It also comes with a trigger input and output, allowing seamless integration with other equipment in your setup. To support this performance, the chassis construction consists of hard steel with an aluminium faceplate, homogeneous with the Emotiva aesthetic. These heavy-duty materials promote efficiency and signal integrity by diminishing the effects of resonance. Double-sided FR4 circuit boards with plated-through holes also reduce the need for unnecessarily long signal paths.
The Emotiva BasX A1 Power Amplifier sets a new benchmark for monoblocks at this price point and is a great choice for any decerning audiophile looking to enhance the performance of their high-end speakers or upgrade from a two-channel power amp. Powerful, reliable, and stylish, it's time to redefine your listening experience.
