Emotiva BasX A‐7

The BasX A7 is a seven-channel power amplifier that delivers 90 W per channel into 8 Ω and 125 W per channel into 4 Ohms, with a rated THD + N (total harmonic distortion plus noise) of <0.02% and an A-weighted signal-to-noise ratio of 115 dB. The Emotiva BasX‐A7 features a robust linear power supply, high-quality Class A/B amplification, transparent fault protection, and trigger input and output. The BasX‐A7 also offers a convenient feature that allows the amp to turn on when an audio signal is detected at its input.

This is especially useful if your preamp or integrated amplifier does not offer a trigger output. The high-quality unbalanced RCA inputs allow the BasXA7 to be used with nearly any preamp or processor, and the audiophile-grade speaker terminals accept banana plugs, spade lugs, or bare wire. These features combine to allow the BasX A7 to deliver true audiophile performance and sound quality at an incredibly affordable price.
