Origin Acoustics has launched the A850 and A1650 Residential Amplifiers, expanding its residential distributed audio offering. The addition of the A850 and A1650 gives dealers a complete Origin residential audio ecosystem, allowing them to specify speakers, subwoofers, and amplification from a single partner for everyday distributed audio applications. Backed by Origin’s commitment to inventory availability and standard three-business-day shipping, dealers can specify the amplifier knowing it’s ready when their projects are.

Origin’s amplifier portfolio now includes more than 30 purpose-built amplifier solutions spanning residential distributed audio, premium DSP systems, architectural loudspeakers, invisible speakers, outdoor entertainment, commercial applications, and high-performance home entertainment. Rather than asking one amplifier to do everything, Origin believes every installation deserves the right amplifier for its intended application.
The new A850 and A1650 were developed specifically for residential distributed audio systems. Unlike DSP-centric amplifier platforms designed for advanced tuning and specialty applications, the new Residential Amplifier Series prioritizes simplicity, scalability, and reliable everyday performance without sacrificing installation flexibility.

Available in 4-zone (A850) and 8-zone (A1650) configurations, both amplifiers feature efficient Class D architecture, flexible source routing, multiple power management modes, independent protection circuitry for each zone, and a compact 1U rack-mount chassis for clean, installer-friendly deployments.
Designed for residential distributed audio applications, the new Residential Amplifier Series features:
- A850: 4-zone, 8-channel residential amplifier
- A1650: 8-zone, 16-channel residential amplifier
- 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms
- Smart power management with Always On, Audio Sense, and 12V Trigger modes
- Flexible source routing
- Compact 1U rack-mount chassis
- Independent protection circuitry for each zone
- Cool-running, high-efficiency Class D operation
Ideal applications include whole-home audio, multi-room music, custom homes, builder-grade residences, and scalable distributed audio installations where dependable performance, ease of installation, and long-term reliability are paramount.
The Origin Acoustics A850 and A1650 Residential Amplifiers are available exclusively through authorized Origin Acoustics dealers.
