Know before you buy
The High BIAS mode allows the amplifier to operate in Class A for the first few watts of power. This provides a warmer, more detailed sound profile, which is ideal for critical listening at lower volumes.
Yes, the X-A600 is equipped with both XLR (balanced) and RCA (unbalanced) inputs, making it compatible with a wide range of Hi-Fi and Home Cinema preamplifiers.
The X-A600 delivers 200W RMS per channel into 8Ω speakers and increases to 300W RMS per channel when paired with 4Ω speakers, ensuring it can drive demanding loads with ease.
Yes, the unit features trigger input and output ports. This allows you to daisy-chain the amplifier with other compatible components so that the entire system powers on or off simultaneously.
The VU-meters are adjustable, allowing you to control their brightness or turn them off entirely depending on your preference and the lighting conditions in your room.
Due to its significant weight and 464 mm depth, you should ensure your equipment rack or shelf is sturdy and deep enough to support the unit properly. It is not rack-mountable, so it is best placed on a dedicated, stable surface with adequate ventilation.
