The BasX A6 is a six channel power amplifier that delivers 90 watts / channel into 8 Ohms and 125 watts / channel into 4 Ohms, all channels driven, with a rated THD+N of < 0.02%, and an A-weighted S/N ratio of 112 dB. The BasX A6 features a heavy-duty linear power supply, high-quality Class A/B amplification, transparent fault protection, and a trigger input and output. High quality industry standard unbalanced RCA inputs enable the BasX A6 to be used with almost any preamp or processor and audiophile grade five way speaker terminals accept banana plugs, spade lugs, or bare wire. These features combine to enable the BasX A6 to deliver true audiophile performance and sound quality at an amazingly affordable price.

The BasX A6 is a great choice if you're looking for a high quality multi-channel amplifier to power three pairs of height speakers, or four pairs of height speakers and a pair of surrounds, or front wides and surrounds, extension speakers, or anywhere you need six channels of high quality amplification. Also, with the use of a “y-adapter,” this amplifier would be the perfect solution for bi-amping your front stage.

Circuit Topology

The BasX A6 is a six channel power amplifier. The BasX A6 combines classical audiophile amplifier architecture, based on a heavy-duty linear power supply, and a carefully designed high current short signal path Class A/B output stage, with advanced microprocessor-controlled monitoring and protection circuitry, to deliver superb sound quality at a truly reasonable price.
