The Story
The BasX A2+ is a two-channel power amplifier that delivers 160 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 250 watts per channel into 4 ohms, all channels driven, with a rated THD+N of less than 0.02% and an A-weighted signal-to-noise ratio of 112 dB.
Perfectly suited to hi-fi, multiroom and home cinema system applications, the Emotiva BasX A2+ is a versatile stereo power amp.
Fantastic value 2-channel power amp for quality sound
The Emotiva BasX A2+ is a 2-channel amp of exceptional value, ability and flexibility. Use it with a pre-amp and enjoy superb value, powerful stereo sound. It also makes an ideal power amp for a multiroom system, where there are passive speakers in each room – just add an amp per room. Finally, the BasX A2+ works seamlessly with other BasX amps, making it the ideal ‘add-on’ in a home cinema system. If, for example, you already have an A5+ or A7+ but want to add another two channels of sound (perhaps for Dolby Atmos), then simply add the A2+ for consistent sound all around the room.
Plenty of power
Using a Class A/B amplifier, with improved power supply, the Emotiva BasX A2+ delivers smooth and consistent sound. With an impressive 160 watts per channel at 8 ohms or 250 watts per channel into a 4 ohm speaker, this power amp has plenty of grunt to deal with any speaker.
Purity to match the power
Unlike some, digital only, power amps, the BasX A2+ utilises an analogue Class A/B amplifier stage. This preserves the music’s emotion and ‘flow’ in a way that many digital amps struggle to convey. Designed with high current capacity and short signal paths, it promotes a highly dynamic, low distortion sound.
Choice of XLR and RCA inputs
The latest BasX A2+ model now comes with both RCA and XLR inputs. XLR connectivity delivers a professional-grade link, with locking plugs and balanced connectivity to reduce electrical interference. If your existing components only features RCA connections, these are catered for too, meaning the A2+ is suitable for all applications. Heavy duty, insulated and gold-plated speaker sockets accept thicker cables and 4mm banana plugs.
Sturdy build quality
The sturdy, steel case features a milled aluminium facia, giving it the visual muscle to match the room-filling sound.
Enjoy the flexibility of a quality power amp, for less, with the Emotiva BasX A2+.
