Features
The BASX A-100 is a great sounding, compact, and very flexible, stereo amplifier. The A-100
includes features that make it a great choice in a wide variety of situations; from driving a small
music system in a home or business, to providing audio for a second zone in a larger home
theater installation, or whole house music system. The A-100 also includes a great sounding
headphone output, which combines the sonic signature of high-end vintage equipment with the
superb performance of modern circuitry, and which offers the ability to drive low-efficiency planar
headphones without the need for adapters and custom cables.
• Best-in-class design and sound quality.
The A-100 shares the same superior design and
high-quality parts as our bigger amplifiers, so it performs “like the big boys” and sounds far
better than most amps in its price and power class.
• 50 watts per-channel @ 8 ohms (80 watts per-channel @ 4 ohms)
of superb sounding
audio - sufficient to drive most speakers to satisfying listening levels.
• Classic style headphone output
- driven from the main amplifier outputs via a set of high-
quality series resistors; duplicates the sound signature of the highly-prizes headphone
outputs on high-end vintage equipment.
• Direct output option for low-efficiency planar headphones.
This option allows you to
route the main speaker outputs of the A-100 directly to the headphone jack to drive
low-efficiency planar headphones properly - without special cables or adapters.
• Flexible power switching.
The A-100 can be configured to switch on when a trigger is
received and when it senses audio signal on its inputs. The Trigger Output can be used to pass
trigger signals to other components.
• Front panel volume control.
With its convenient analog front panel volume control, the
A-100 can accept inputs from both variable and fixed audio sources.
• Heavy duty power supply with massive toroidal transformer
provides plenty of
continuous power to drive even low efficiency speakers, and enough dynamic power to
effortlessly reproduce musical peaks without strain or distortion.
• Compact size
makes it easy to find a location for your BASX A-100.
• Loop output.
The A-100 offers a loop output to facilitate chaining additional amplifiers or
other devices.
• Full sized five-way binding posts
make it easy to attach thick wires, lugs, or banana plugs.
• Illuminated Volume knob.
The A-100’s volume knob is surrounded by an illuminated ring,
which indicates both Power and Fault status.
• User selectable AC line voltage
; 115 VAC or 230 VAC.
