SpeakerCraft BB1235
When SpeakerCraft set out to develop the Custom Installation industrys most complete line of amplifiers, we knew we had to have answers for the variety of situations that you encounter. At the SpeakerCraft Technical Training Institute in Riverside, California, our engineers and A/V dealers teamed up to design the Big Bang line. We took our dealer's input seriously, then went to work making their wish list a reality. The Big Bang series is a highly reliable line of nine amplifiers that offers a solution for every installation with a variety of power, performance and price.

About SpeakerCraft
SpeakerCraft started in 1976 as an audio retailer. Along the way we became a custom installation company, installing multi-room audio systems. SpeakerCraft is now one of the world's leading manufacturer of custom installation products, and their background as a custom installer and retailer has provided pretty good idea of what it is you want from a manufacturer. Their goal is to develop innovative designs utilizing some of the most state-of-the-art components and materials. Those efforts have earned many industry awards for products that break tradition and go a step forward to bring you tomorrow's technology today. For instance, SpeakerCraft was the first to invent in-wall speaker installation systems that do not require installing brackets in the wall first. They have improved the in-ceiling round speaker by inventing a method to greatly improve the high frequency response with a device called the WavePlane. First to produce pivoting tweeters and on some models the whole speaker pivots while still remaining flush with the ceiling. These innovations eliminate the placement concerns of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. With SpeakerCraft speakers you now can enjoy your beautiful interiors without sacrificing sound or quality and with the comfort of knowing that those speakers carry a lifetime warranty.

View Owner's ManualThe BB2125 and BB275 are two channel amplifiers that utilize discrete high current designs. The high current design makes them ideal for installations that require multiple speakers to be connected to one amplifier. Custom friendly features include multiple turn-on modes, front mounted independent level controls and pass through outputs.
The BB1265 and BB865 are multi-channel amplifiers that have been designed to meet the needs of the most demanding home theater and multi-room applications. All of the custom friendly features of our stereo amplifiers are included. In addition, the models feature independent level controls for each channel for maximum control. What signal do you want each channel to play? You have four choices, selectable via a simple switch. Each channel can play inputs from a common left signal, a common right signal, a mono signal and an auxiliary input. Or you can dedicate a separate signal to each channel. Need extra power for that challenging zone? Just flip a switch and adjoining channels are bridged to give you the extra output 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.
The BB1235, BB835, BB50-S and BB50 offer budget solutions for less demanding installations. These amplifiers include the necessary features needed for flexible, reliable custom installation. Custom friendly features include multiple turn-on modes, independent level controls for each channel and pass through outputs.
