The BasX A-300 circuits feature a high-quality linear power supply, high-current Class A/B amplifier modules, trigger input and output, and standard unbalanced audio inputs. It also includes audiophile-grade, transparent protection against operational faults, which safeguards the A-300 and your other equipment from common failure issues.

The BasX A-300 is a two-channel power amplifier. Pair the BasX A-300 with a surround or stereo preamp and it will become the heart of an exceptional music or home theater system. You can also use it to upgrade the amplifier section of your integrated audio/video receiver, or employ the BasX A-300 to drive the surround speakers in a luxurious home theater system. You won’t be disappointed: the sound quality is fantastic.

Why the BASX Series is So Special

As a leading manufacturer of home audio equipment, Emotiva found that many people still don’t own high-quality audio gear. Some of them don’t have the budget to purchase it, while others don’t take the time to try to understand how to use it, and that’s exactly why the brand developed the new Emotiva BasX products. BasX components combine excellent sound quality, a carefully chosen set of truly useful features and great performance, with a simple and elegant design.
