bk av1260 User Manual

The AV1260 is an integration of a stereo audio distribution BUS with twelve compact and efficient 60 W power 
amplifiers. Each pair of amplifiers have DIP switches that allow system configuration for use with either 
mono/stereo and muting control via a Master or Local control input. Additionally, there is support for paralleling 
multiple speaker output channels to allow greater output current capability. It is clear that the AV1260 is designed 
to allow flexibility and functionality in the design of Multi Zone power system applications. The term versatile is 
almost inadequate to describe the multitude of operational modes the AV1260 is capable of providing. 
 
 

Below are just a few of the tasks the AV1260 may be configured to perform: 

 

•

  The most obvious example allows for six stereo audio input pairs to power six pairs of amplified 

speaker outputs. This is the default factory configuration. 

 

•

  Using the audio distribution BUS, DIP switches allow independent configuration for up to 6 pairs of 

mono or stereo, with independent automatic audio sense muting per amplifier output pair. 

 

•

  The availability of both Local and BUS audio outputs, allows for a number of units to be cascaded 

for easy and efficient system expansion. 

 

 - Efficient high current power delivery for improved dynamics. 

 - Large capacity computer grade electrolytic capacitors for high transient power 

delivery and extended low frequency control.

 - Increased Safe Operating Area and thermal overload allows for continuous duty unattended 

use.

 - Improved connections for better sound and minimized signal loss and degradation. 

 - Low noise precision resistors offer a cleaner more repeatable sound quality.

 - More accurate and three dimensional reproduction of source material with sonic fidelity 

usually found only in larger power amplifiers.
