SONAMP SERIES AMPLIFIERS FROM SONANCE.  
INNOVATING THE WAY  
YOU LISTEN TO AUDIO.  
A home may have walls, but it should have no  
barriers. No degradation of sound quality no matter  
where you roam. No limitations to enjoying music  
or audio as true to its form as when originally  
recorded. And therein lies our mission at Sonance:  
to deliver audio in its purest form. To reproduce  
sound perfectly, whether you’re in the same room  
or in one on the other side of your home. To that  
end, we’re on a never-ending quest and leave a  
legacy of groundbreaking ideas behind us to  
prove it, from BBE sound enhancement and  
our Smart Amplifier Technology to automatic  
switching and protection. In fact, Sonance was  
the first to develop an amplifier for multi-room  
use, and one that can be custom set for your  
listening pleasure. Our latest breakthrough,  
the Sonamp 275 SE, delivers unsurpassed  
sound-enhancing capabilities.

VISIONARY DESIGN  
Sonamp amplifiers are built better, they sound  
better, and they’re a pleasure to use. Here are  
a few reasons why:  
work. Easily configure a Sonamp amplifier for bal-  
anced input capability or automatic line-level input  
switching, or add BBE Sound Enhancement right  
at the installation.  
BBE®. The standard in professional audio, BBE takes  
sound quality to the next level. Using proprietary  
high- and low-frequency processing, it dramatically  
improves sound focus with time-alignment circuitry,  
automatically adjusting your audio and bass, to  
provide life-like sound. BBE also restores clarity and  
definition to spoken voices, making paging systems  
easier to understand without having to run them at  
high volumes. In fact, the BBE process is so effective  
that it can even compensate for inferior sound from  
poor-quality source material or compressed sources  
like MP3. Sonance offers both manual control as well  
as automated triggering—an external control voltage  
adjusts the amount of BBE processing (6dB, 9dB or  
none) depending on the audio source.  
ASAP. With this feature on-board, your Sonamp  
amplifier automatically overrides a household-wide  
audio system source to provide amplification for a  
dedicated source component in a bedroom or office.  
Ideal for watching a particular TV program or enjoy-  
ing a CD in one room while the rest of your home  
continues listening to background music.  
Triggers. Sonamp trigger inputs enable you to turn  
amps on automatically. Trigger outputs give your  
Sonamp the ability to activate other components —  
giving you much more flexibility.  
Rack-Mounts. All Sonamp amplifiers (except the  
ASAP1) are rack-mountable so that you can easily  
add them to media racks, cabinets, shelving, or  
armoires.  
SAT. These optional Smart Amplifier Technology  
module bays make it easy to customize and upgrade  
your amplifier on-site rather than requiring in-shop

1250MKII and 1230 12-Channel Amps. The  
1250MKII and 1230 have L/R, AUX and direct channel  
inputs with DIP switches that give you the ultimate  
flexibility in system configuration. Both models have  
12 channels that can be bridged in pairs. For example,  
a single 1250MKII could have two pairs of channels  
bridged to provide 100 watts/ch of power to a set of  
speakers for a dedicated listening area, while the  
other eight unbridged channels provide 50 watts/ch  
of power to a four-room distributed audio system.  
Tamper-resistant input sensitivity controls simplify  
adjustments, while binding post speaker terminals  
accept five different types of speaker wire termina-  
tions. And like all Sonamp amplifiers (except the  
Twelve channels enable you to configure the perfect system for a home  
theater or whole-home application.  
ASAP1), the 1250MKII and 1230 have line outputs  
that make it simple to daisy-chain multiple amplifiers  
in larger systems.  
275 SE/275X3 SE FEATURES  
• Dual power supplies and high-current amplifier  
topology enhances reliability and stability. 275 SE  
and 275X3 SE are stable to a 2.66-ohm load,  
enabling them to drive three sets of 8-ohm speakers  
simultaneously.  
• Defeatable high-pass filter protects in-wall volume  
controls (and the speakers they’re connected to)  
• Can be bridged to provide up to 270 Watts at  
8 ohms (275 SE only)  
• Active current limit, short-circuit and speaker  
protection; auto-resetting thermal protection shutoff  
• Protect/Clipping LEDs for easy level setup  
Smart Amplifier Technology (SAT) gives you outstanding flexibility to upgrade  
or outfit your system simply by inserting a new module.  
• Ground lift switch to break a hum loop caused by  
the chassis making contact in a rack system.  
• 275X3 SE features built-in switcher for up to three  
pairs of speakers

THE RIGHT AMPLIFIER FOR ANY ROOM.  
The Sonamp line of amplifiers was built for exceptional sound reproduction and outstanding flexibility. Whatever  
your amplifier needs, we have a model that’s perfect for it. Everything from multi-zone, whole house audio  
distribution, to home theater sound. We even offer ASAP and SAT models that automatically switch a single  
zone between two different sources. Take a look and see which Sonamp model is right for you.
