Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Beale Street Audio BA251 &
BA2101 Digital 2.1 Channel Audio Amplifier!
The half rack size and advanced design deliver a whole lot more than just great,
powerful, clear audio in a small package. The BA251 delivers a true 50 watts per
channel at 8 ohms, making it the perfect companion for all Beale Street Audio
in ceiling and in wall speakers while the BA2101 delivers a true 100 watts per
channel at 8 ohms! Though we’d rather you use our speakers, they will also play
nicely with other branded speakers... when those situations are just unavoidable.
Are you a bass freak? If so, these amps have a line level subwoofer output that
can be used to drive a Beale Street Audio subwoofer amplifier and subwoofer for
additional bass extension and presence. (Of course, if you have to, you can use
other branded amps and subs, but c’mon...Get Beale!)
Beyond all of the great audio amplification and subwoofer flexibility, are the other
great features that make the BA251 and BA2101 so powerful. Let’s start with
three audio inputs, including stereo line level, Digital Optical (Toslink) and digital
coax. These inputs are auto-sensing so they can automatically turn ON based
upon setup options, making system control as easy as pressing a play button or
turning on a TV.
The BA251 and BA2101 also features IR control from the IR remote for source
select, volume, and mute control. The built-in IR eye on the front and IR input jack
on the back of the unit increases installation location options and can be hidden
away in a cabinet or closet and still be controlled via remote control using the
provided IR extension cable.
Want to control the amp using a different remote? No problem! The BA251 and
BA2101 both offer easy push button IR learning so any remote will be able to
control volume, source selection, and muting functions.
So let’s see...compact size, big power, sub out, three audio inputs, auto-sensing, IR
control of the amp, wow, that’s a whole lot of stuff right?
So yes, the best things do come in small packages.
Please read and follow the instructions in this User Guide to assure you are getting
the most from your new Beale Street Audio 2.1 Channel Amplifier.
