Bluesound A860

Bluesound A860 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.

The commercial 8-channel amplifier shall provide 8 channels of amplification each with a power rating of 50W at 8Ω and 60W at 4Ω. Pairs of channels shall be bridgeable to provide 120W at 8Ω. It shall provide balanced analog line inputs per channel as well as a balance line global input which can be routed to any or all of the pairs of outputs. There shall be balanced line outputs of both the local and global inputs to allow for easy connection of multiple amplifiers to a system. The amplifier shall be capable of entering a low power mode either automatically or by remote trigger and in this mode, the amplifier shall draw 0.5W or less. The amplifier shall be cooled by thermostatically controlled fans. The amplifier shall be 2U and shall fit into a 19” rack.

The commercial 8-channel amplifier shall be the Bluesound Professional A860.
