It delivers 160 watts per channel into 8 ohms with both channels driven, and 250 watts per channel into 4 ohms, drawing from a linear power supply with an oversized toroidal transformer. That combination is what lets it stay composed when a demanding pair of speakers asks for current, rather than running out of steam at the point where the music gets interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConnection is straightforward. Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs are provided for each channel and both stay active at all times, so the A2+ drops into a system built around a stereo preamplifier, a DAC with variable output, a surround processor, or any AV receiver with preamp outputs. Trigger in and out handle power sequencing, and an auto on mode will wake the amplifier when it senses signal at the input. Automatic 115V\/230V line voltage detection means it runs on Indian mains without any switch to set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0F527F;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e160W per channel into 8 ohms, both channels driven\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e250W per channel into 4 ohms at 1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFully discrete short signal path Class A\/B output stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLinear power supply with oversized toroidal transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBalanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAuto on signal sensing plus 12V trigger in and out\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy duty five way insulated speaker binding posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic 115V or 230V line voltage detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicroprocessor controlled fault and thermal protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy steel chassis with milled aluminium faceplate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0F527F;\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis product comes with a 2-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0F527F;\"\u003eWhy Consider the BasX A2+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost stereo and AV receivers give up long before their volume control does, particularly with 4 ohm speakers or in rooms with tile and marble surfaces where you end up playing louder to get the same sense of body. The A2+ solves that by taking the power amplification job away from the receiver entirely and handing it to a properly specified linear supply and a discrete Class A\/B output stage. The result is not a change in tonal character so much as a change in control: bass tightens up, the soundstage holds together at higher levels, and dynamic peaks stop compressing. Because it accepts both XLR and RCA on every channel, it works equally well as the first step into separates or as a front left and right upgrade inside an existing home theatre setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0F527F;\"\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOwners of an AV receiver with preamp outputs wanting stronger front channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo channel systems built around a stereo preamplifier or a DAC with variable output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpeakers with 4 ohm nominal impedance or low sensitivity ratings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarger living rooms and hard surfaced apartments needing extra headroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSecond zone installations where hi-fi quality matters more than convenience features\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eListeners planning a staged upgrade path from receiver to full separates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0F527F;\"\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"ph-inbox-list\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEmotiva BasX A2+ stereo power amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAC power cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrigger cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrinted user manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0F527F;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"ph-spec-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.ph-spec-wrap table{width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:15px;color:#000;}\n.ph-spec-wrap th,.ph-spec-wrap td{border:1px solid #ddd;padding:10px 12px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;color:#000;}\n.ph-spec-wrap td:first-child{width:42%;font-weight:600;}\n.ph-spec-wrap tr.ph-sec-hd td{background:#f2f2f2;font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.03em;font-size:13px;}\n@media screen and (max-width:600px){\n.ph-spec-wrap table,.ph-spec-wrap tbody,.ph-spec-wrap tr,.ph-spec-wrap td{display:block;width:100%;}\n.ph-spec-wrap td{border:none;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;}\n.ph-spec-wrap td:first-child{width:100%;font-weight:700;padding-bottom:2px;border-bottom:none;}\n.ph-spec-wrap tr.ph-sec-hd td{background:#f2f2f2;padding:8px 10px;margin-top:10px;}\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"ph-sec-hd\"\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eCircuit Topology\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmplifier Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo channel Class A\/B, fully discrete, short signal path\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLinear supply with heavy duty toroidal transformer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr class=\"ph-sec-hd\"\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003ePower Output\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 Ohms (both channels driven)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160 watts RMS per channel, 20Hz to 20kHz, THD less than 0.1%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 Ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250 watts RMS per channel, 1kHz, THD less than 1%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRated Load Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Load Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 ohms (one 4 ohm load or two paralleled 8 ohm loads)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr class=\"ph-sec-hd\"\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003ePerformance Specifications\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Sensitivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2V for rated power into 8 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Bandwidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20Hz to 20kHz (+\/- 0.07 dB) or better at rated power, 8 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBroad Band Frequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5Hz to 80kHz (+0 \/ -1.8 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTHD + Noise\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLess than 0.02% A-weighted at rated power, 1kHz, 8 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal to Noise Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreater than 112 dB referenced to rated power;
