The A1260 is a 12-channel (6-zone) audio amplifier designed for whole house
music applications. It can supply up to six pairs of speakers with enough power to
ensure high-quality audio in every listening area. The rack mount version (model
A1260R) is available for installations in 19” equipment racks.
The amplifier is organized into 6 stereo pairs. Each pair may be driven with a
system wide signal, or its own input.
Each of the 12 channels will turn on automatically at the presence of an audio
signal and will turn off when the audio signal is gone.
The A1260 is available in a rack mount version, A1260R.
The A1260 is intended to be constantly on. Power consumption during times of no
audio is less than 30 watts.
Features:
!
Audio-sensing inputs
!
Input selector allows either global or zone input
!
Low power consumption when no audio is present
!
Cost effective and easy to install
Dimensions:
Note: these dimension do not include the rubber feet on the bottom of the unit or
the connectors which protrude from the rear of the unit. The rubber feet will add
0.25 inches to the height and the connectors (without wires attached) will add 0.5
inches to the depth.

Creating a System
The A1260 provides plenty of power to create a great whole-house system,
but it does not provide source selection and volume control. Therefore, a
matrix controller, such as the A4603, is needed to unlock the full potential of
the A1260.

The A4603/A4603R... is a 4 input 6 output matrix A/V controller designed for
whole-house audio systems.
The unit is organized into 4 audio/video inputs and 6 audio/video outputs.
The A4603 is intended to be used with a multichannel audio amplifier, such
as the A1260.
Any of the 4 source inputs can be selected and routed to any of the 6
outputs (or zones) independent of the other zones through the use of an IR
repeating keypad (such as the A0127- Sold separately).
The A4603R is equipped with a rack mount faceplate to allow installations in
a standard 19” equipment rack.
Control of the A4603... is accomplished
A0127
through the use of an IR repeating device,
such as the A0127 keypad. The A0127
already contains the IR codes necessary to
operate the A4603, but you may also use a
standard IR receiver such as the IR-2400 or a
3rd party keypad. When using a simple IR

receiver, you will need to program a learning
remote control with the IR codes for the
A4603. These codes can be downloaded
from www.channelvision.com, or learned from
an A0127.
