6 Zone 12 Channel Amplifier - 60 Watts/Channel

The AT6012 is the perfect solution for those multi-room sound
installations requiring the utmost in flexibility, reliability and
audiophile quality sound. This 12-channel, 6-zone power amplifier
incorporates the same legendary sound and design criteria as our other award
winning amplifiers–without exception. The AT6012 consists of six 2-channel
modules and each zone’s volume (gain) can be remotely adjusted. While
elegant in concept and design, the AT6012 is rugged and will withstand the
rigors of even the most demanding requirements. Critical components such as
toroid transformers and circuit boards are manufactured and assembled in our
own factory, guaranteeing consistent quality control. Features including DMC
(Detachable Modular Component), Remote-Power-On and our Isolated Optical
Protection Circuit are but a few of the advanced design concepts that add up
to make ATI amplifiers the best value in the industry. Circuitry in the
AT6012 is totally complementary from input to output using dual-differential
input stages. Pre-drivers then drive the full-complementary output stage.

The AT6012 includes connectors for
external "up/down" momentary rocker switches, such as the Leviton® 5657-2E
pictured below.

These switches give you up/down volume
control. Simple, three-wire Phoenix connectors give you stereo volume
controlin any room at exceptionally low cost.

Because we use high quality, motorized gain controls
instead of inexpensive potentiometers, the AT6012 delivers sound quality far
superior to that of typical wall-mounted volume controls.

Made In The U.S.A.
The U.S. has always led the world in power amplifier technology, and still
does. All ATI products are manufactured in Southern California in a modern
50,000 square-foot facility to exacting design specifications and rigid
quality control. ATI manufactures all toroid transformers and assembles
all circuit boards in-house. We use computerized Audio Precision test
equipment to test each stand-alone amplifier module (DMC2) as well as the
completed unit. This control and scrutiny of every phase of manufacturing
guarantees unit-to-unit repeatability and a lifetime of accurate sound
reproduction.
