ELAN Home Systems Begins Shipping New A1240 The Seventh Benchmark-Setting Amp in Comprehensive Digital and Analog Lineup
New 12-Channel Analog Model Packs Sound, Power and Features in Keeping With ELAN Tradition of Delivering Quality Amplifier at Great Price Points.
Lexington, KY, May 16, 2006 --(PR.com)-- ELAN® Home Systems, a leading manufacturer of award-winning Multi-Room audio/video and home control systems, announced today that it has expanded its well-established line of digital and analog amplifiers with the shipment of the A1240. The introduction of the 12-channel A1240 represents the seventh product entry in ELAN’s powerful power amp line geared to custom installers. The announcement was made by Paul Starkey ELAN’s Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
In making the announcement Mr. Starkey stated, “We are pleased to announce that the A1240 is now shipping to our Dealers. This analog amp builds upon our well-established line and fills a critical mid-point pricing void which makes the ELAN line even more compelling for the Custom Installation Dealer. ELAN’s line of amps is unmatched within the industry when it comes to price, performance and innovation in both analog and digital technologies.”
With the A1240 shipping, ELAN Dealers now have access to an exceptionally well-rounded and powerful lineup of seven unique power amp alternatives. Between the analog and digital series with models that range from $500 to $2,200 retail price, Dealers are now able to satisfy the requirements of every client and installation with 2-channel, 6-channel, 12-channel and 16-channel models.
The A1240 Power Amplifier joins ELAN’s other award-winning analog amplifiers which include the Z660 and Z300. With its 12 channels of power well fitted to in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, the A1240 offers advanced features such as Audio Sensing, Stereo/Mono Bussing, and Trigger Inputs/Outputs to make it the premier amplifier in its price range.
Using easy-to-configure DIP switches, any A1240 input can be combined or bussed to any output without the use of additional patch cables. Bus Loop Outputs allow for easy connection to additional amplifiers, A/V receivers, and other components.
The A1240’s six +12VDC Trigger Inputs uniquely allow each pair of channels to be activated independently. The System Trigger Input turns on all channels when a signal is received, while the System Trigger Output sends a +12VDC pulse whenever any of the channels of the amplifier are on. The A1240’s Audio Sense circuit mutes or un-mutes channels based upon whether an audio signal is detected or not.
Additionally, each of the A1240’s 12 channels also features an Audio Loop Output, making for the easy creation of stereo and mono sub-zones and enabling users to route independent channel audio to additional amplifiers or audio processors. Individual Channel Level Adjustments allow users to fine-tune each channel’s level using precision potentiometers while removable, locking speaker terminals make for quick and secure speaker connections.
Rated at 40 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms, the feature-rich A1240 is powerful enough for almost any distributed audio application, yet is only two rack spaces high. An optional rack mount kit, the RMK3, is sold separately.
The A1240 carries an MSRP of $1,220.00.
