The A1 is designed for 4-ohm loudspeaker loads capable of 250W RMS. The MB4, MB24 and


802® are rated at an impedance of 8-ohms nominal. Coupled with higher power requirements at their load rating, the A1 is slightly underpowered for use with those loudspeakers. We recommend the Bose® 1600 or Bose 1800 amplifier together with the Panaray® controller to properly drive those loudspeakers.

The A1 amplifier is built for road use and is tested under the most stringent conditions. To prevent damage, the amplifier is protected against overheating, short-circuits and over-current conditions. The power LED will turn red when there is a problem and will return to normal operating mode when thefault condition has been removed. If used with a power stand and two B1s, the bass level would drop 6dB upon shutdown.
