Remote trigger input and output allow the BasX A5 to control and be controlled by other trigger-enabled equipment.

The BasX A5 is designed to operate on either 115 VAC or 230 VAC at 50/60 Hz and will automatically detect and configure itself for the proper line voltage.

Stylish New Look

Our redesigned front panel gives the new BasX A5 a sleek modern aesthetic that fits well with virtually any room décor.

Strong Yet Silent System Protection

Audiophile-grade fault protection is entirely transparent under normal listening conditions, yet protects the amp and your other equipment from virtually all common faults.
