The BB1265 is 12-channel amplifier that has been designed to meet the needs of the most demanding home theater and multi-room applications. This amp features multiple turn-on modes so the amplifier turns on automatically when the main system is switched on, and pass-through inputs to outputs, which allow multiple amplifiers to be daisy-chained together for multi-room applications and future expansion.
In addition, this model features independent level controls for each channel, which allow you to balance the volume for each room. Room volume can vary significantly depending on the type of speakers, and how many are installed.
Which audio source do you want each channel to play? You have four choices, all selectable via a simple switch. Each channel can play inputs from a common left source, a common right source, a left + right source, or a dedicated source. This means one room can listen to a CD, while another room can be playing a radio station, or any audio source that is connected to that channel.
Need extra power for a large room with lots of speakers? Just flip a switch and adjoining channels are bridged together to give you that extra power you need. You can also rest easy knowing that each channel has its own protection circuitry, shutting down only the troubled area when needed for system safety.
This version of the BB1265 is designed for rack mount installation. A shelf-top version is also available.
Key Benefits
Big Bang Power Amplifiers Fit YOUR Audio Setup
Amplifiers are a critical link in the audio chain. The goal is to amplify the content without adding or deleting anything from the original signal. This requires careful design and construction. The Big Bang amplifiers are both sonically pure and physically rugged providing years of durable performance.
The idea that "One Size Fits All" may sound good in theory, but in practice it usually leads to "One Size Fits None". While most manufacturers assume that the few amplifiers they offer are good enough to work in all situations, the truth is that they usually fall short of meeting your multi-room audio needs, especially in complex applications. Even if you have a basic system, you may require more advanced features in the future. In these times of rapidly advancing technology, many of us have found that the products we purchase today are outdated tomorrow. SpeakerCraft has strived to reduce this problem by building one of the most flexible and advanced amplifier lines on the market today.
When SpeakerCraft set out to develop the custom installation industry’s most complete line of amplifiers, we knew we had to have answers for the variety of situations that any installation may encounter, both today and tomorrow. We spent thousands of hours working with our team of engineers and listening to the needs of our customers to design the Big Bang series. We took their input seriously, and went to work making their wish list a reality. The Big Bang series of amplifiers is a highly reliable line of six models that offer a solution for every installation with a blend of power, performance, and value.
![]() More power, more channels and more music |
The BB2125, BB275, BB1265 and BB865 incorporate discreet power supplies to balance power between channels. The BB1265 & BB865 multi-channel models have the discreet power supplies paired monaural so that demands put on one channel do not affect performance of the others. A massive toroidal transformer assures adequate power reserves. Discreet output devices allow the amplifier to drive low impedance loads with very low distortion. Huge filter capacitors improve dynamics and lower distortion, while providing sustained energy storage for low bass.
More power, more channels and more music, SpeakerCraft amplifiers deliver the power and fidelity you demand whether you need a couple of channels for stereo or you want to distribute music throughout your home. These amplifiers are built to be bulletproof and provide you years of listening enjoyment.
When SpeakerCraft set out to develop the custom installation industry’s most complete line of amplifiers, they knew they had to have answers for the variety of situations that you encounter. At the SpeakerCraft Technical Training Institute in Riverside, California, their engineers and A/V dealers teamed up to design the Big Bang line of amplifiers. SpeakerCraft took their dealer’s input seriously, then went to work making their wish list a reality (thanks for the help). The Big Bang series is a highly reliable line of amplifiers that offers a solution for every installation with a variety of power, performance and price points.
