BasX A-400Z

 Features

The BasX A-400Z Zone Distribution Amplifier is an audio distribution amplifier that combines two 

powerful channels of high-quality audio amplification with four separate relay controlled pairs of 

speaker outputs. This makes the A-400Z the ideal choice for driving two pairs of 4 Ohm speakers, 

or up to four pairs of 8 Ohm speakers, in different zones. And, because the A-400Z is designed 

to work with loads as low as 2 Ohms, and is stable into even 1 Ohm loads, it is also the perfect 

amplifier to pair with difficult to drive loads like certain electrostatic loudspeakers. The A-400Z 

also features a built-in 80 Hz high-pass filter, avoiding the need for a separate crossover if you use 

it in a system with a subwoofer. 

 Some of The Features of the BasX A-400Z include: 

•  True audiophile-quality sound 

- As with all of our amplifiers, the BasX A-400Z was designed 

first and foremost to sound superb in a wide variety of audio applications.

•  Great sounding Class A/B output stage 

- ensures smooth detailed sound, and incredibly 

natural imaging, without a trace of harshness or strain.

•  High-current output capability 

- Each channel of the A-400Z is able to drive combined loads 

as low as 2 Ohms, and is stable into loads as low as 1 Ohm, which makes it ideal for driving 

multiple pairs of speakers in different zones, or for driving difficult to drive loads like low-

impedance electrostatic loudspeakers. 

•  Full-sized speaker outputs - 

Four sets of full-sized five-way binding posts, each set 

controlled by its own relay, and operated by convenient front-panel pushbuttons. 

•  Audiophile-grade fault protection

 - entirely transparent under normal conditions, yet 

protects the amp and your other equipment from all common fault conditions. 

•  Buffered line-level output - 

for connecting additional stereo amplifiers or powered 

subwoofers. 

•  Rear panel Master Volume control - 

enables you to set the gain on the A-400Z to match 

your requirements and other equipment.

•  Switchable high-pass filter - 

A switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter allows the A-400Z to operate 

full range, or to work seamlessly with one or more powered subwoofers.

•  Remote trigger input and output

 - allow the A-400Z to be turned on by trigger-enabled 

equipment, and to activate other trigger-enabled equipment.

•  Top quality parts and construction throughout

 - promise years of reliable service.

•  All-metal chassis and faceplate 

- The heavy steel chassis and aluminum faceplate on the 

A-400Z offer both strength and rugged good looks.

•  Universal AC line voltage operation -

 The BasX A-400Z will operate on either 115 VAC or  

230 VAC, at 50 Hz or 60 Hz, and automatically detects and switches to the correct line voltage. 

•  Standard IEC power inlet -

 fits all standard and audiophile IEC power cables.  

•  Fully three year warranty

 - ensures that you’ll be able to enjoy your A-400Z for years to 

come.
