Origin Acoustics Foundation A1250 2-Channel Class-D Power Amplifier

Product Description

Amplifier Overview

Origin Acoustics is the team that invented the architectural loudspeaker speaker category over thirty years ago. Today that same team is producing the finest in-ceiling and in-wall speakers available. These speakers represent patented, state-of-the-art technology that has resulted in unparalleled sound quality that blends seamlessly into any décor.

An amplifier should be transparent, it should literally be just wire with gain. At Origin we pride ourselves in offering no- compromise amplifiers to drive our loudspeakers. Whether you require a stereo or multi-channel version, our amplifiers feature high-efficiency, Class-D power that is built to last and will reproduce every nuance of every recording.

A2150 - Two Channel, Stereo Amplifier

At 150 watts of power for the A2150 and 50 watts for the A1250, plus the ability to consistently drive a 4-ohm load, this is a workhorse that can be used as a building block in any system. Its automation and protection circuits serve to make it perfect choice for home theater or multi-room/multi-zone applications.

Class-D Power

This switching type amplifier class has incredible efficiency, above 90%, as higher power is demanded. This means substantially less heat is produced even though the amplifier is able to produce substantial power. This also means a reduction in size as smaller heat sinks are required and the electronic circuitry can be more compact and reside in a smaller chassis.

Bridgeable Circuit

Bridging two channels into one drives almost triple the power into a single output. This feature creates greater flexibility in system design when additional power is a requirement.

Automation

Origin amplifiers can be place in a rack or inside furniture and require no direct access to function. They are turned on out of standby mode either by sensing the audio signal from a preamp or receiver or by a 12-volt signal from any number of components. They also have a 12-volt output to trigger other components as necessary.

Protection

Built-in circuits that sense both thermal overload or a short-circuit in the speaker connections, will shut down the amplifier until the temperature level returns to normal operating levels or the short in the connections is corrected. This protects the amplifier from permanent damage and avoids costly service visits and repairs.
