Beale Street Audio BAV2500 & 4250 YouTube Video Overview

Beale Street Audio is a fairly new audio company producing some amazing products. Before being acquired by Vanco International in 2017, Beale Street Audio was founded in Memphis, Tennessee. We saw firsthand their P4-BB In-Wall and ICS8-MB In-Ceiling Speakers at the 2015 CEDIA Home Audio show and found them to be “a great and truly innovative approach to in-ceiling speakers”.

The BAV4250 is a 4-input, 4-channel amplifier with an output of 250 Watts per channel, and is compatible with 4-ohm, 8-ohm, 70-volt, and 100-volt speaker systems. Featuring DSP processing and a Matrix mode that allows any source to be routed to any output, the BAV4250 gives integrators the capability to completely customize the audio performance and AV experience in any environment.

Unique in the industry, and a major benefit to installers, the BAV4250 features IP control with a browser-based GUI for easy setup and control. You can use the tiny display to setup the amp, but we found the computer based setup to be a simple and flexible way to setup the amp. Rack-mountable with accessories included, the BAV4250 can be installed in a rack and controlled from the front panel.

The BAV2500 offers all the same desirable features as the BAV4250, only it is a 2-input, 2-channel amplifier with double the power at 500 Watts per channel, making it an extremely powerful solution for stereo installations.

Both models have received a lot of attention from our distributors and dealers for their ease of use and flexibility. It's a rarity to find amplifiers with so much technology packed into such a small chassis, especially at the accessible price points we are offering these new models for.

We did get a chance to do a complete video review of both the BAV4250 and the BAV2500.

There is some great flexibility with the matrix mode, and the built in EQ is a plus. The web based interface is super easy to use,  and you don't even have to be there in person to change any settings or to troubleshoot problems
