8-Channel Power Amplifier
The Bluesound Professional A860 is a high quality 8-channel power amplifier for use in commercial installations. This 2U amplifier provides 50W x 8 at 8Ω, 60W x 8 at 4Ω or 120W at 8Ω per pair of channels in bridged mode. A standby mode can be triggered remotely or automatically for low power consumption when not in use. A global input can be assigned to multiple outputs and global and local output facilitate multiple amplifier installations. Thermostatically controlled fans ensure trouble-free operation in a wide range of conditions.
