TEAC AP-701 Stereo Power Amplifier
Dual mono power amplifier with fully balanced structure
and two custom made Hypex Electronics Ncore power amplifier modules
The unconstrained dynamism of sound awakens fundamental instincts.
The AP-701 merges all the elements desired in a power amplifier at a high level, creating a new standard.
Independent left/right high-capacity toroidal core power supply transformers, discrete buffer amplifiers and two Ncore modules provide a complete dual mono structure from input to output. Moreover, the input stage of each channel has a fully-balanced design, so the dynamism of input signals is amplified as is, maximizing the innate performance of the speakers.
The cabinet is primarily comprised of 3mm-thick heavy metal plate but has a flexible structure to control vibration. By incorporating joints with suspension functions, the vibration frequency of the entire device is controlled to reproduce open and vibrant sound.
