Av1230 Features And Benefits - B&K AV1230 User Manual

4
The AV1230 is an integration of a stereo audio distribution Bus with twelve compact and efficient 30 W power
amplifiers. Each pair of amplifiers have Dip Switches that allow system configuration of mono/stereo and mut-
ing control via Bus or Local control input. The AV1230 is designed to allow flexibility and functionality in the
design of Multi-Zone power system applications.
Below are some of the applications for the AV1230 audio distribution amplifier:
N
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.
N
Using the audio distribution Bus Dip Switches allow independent configuration for up to 12 mono chan-
nels or 6 stereo pairs, with independent automatic audio sense muting per amplifier output pair.
N
The availability of both Local and Bus audio outputs, allows for a number of units to be cascaded for
easy and efficient system expansion.
Multiple AV1230s can be easily linked together to add more rooms or expand a large listening area.
Dip Switches allow for configuration of the audio signal for each pair of amplifier channels including Local or
Bus, mono or stereo and muting control.
Toroidal Transformer - Efficient high current power delivery for improved dynamics.
Computer Grade Capacitors - Large capacity computer grade electrolytic capacitors for high transient power
delivery and extended low frequency control.
Limited Protection - Increased Safe Operating Area and thermal overload protection allows for continuous
duty unattended use.
Gold Plated Connectors - Improved connections for better sound and minimized signal loss and degradation.
1% Metal Film Resistors - Low noise precision resistors offer a cleaner more repeatable sound quality.
High Current Circuitry - More accurate three dimensional reproduction of source material with sonic fidelity
usually found only in larger power amplifiers.
