Description

A12 Classic

Integrated Amplifier

 

A dual-mono integrated amplifier of high musical quality with tube pre-amplification. 

 

After the success of the A10 Classic, Advance Paris offers an even more powerful and flexible version, equipped with more inputs and dual mono amplifier construction.

 

In the great Advance Paris tradition of designing products with numerous connections, the A12 Classic is no exception... From HDMI to Phono (MM/MC), analog RCA to AES-EBU, computer USB to multiple optical and coaxial inputs, 2 speaker zones, Bluetooth (optional with X-FTB01 / X-FTB02).

 

Great sound quality starts with clean power amplification. The A12 Classic will control virtually any loudspeaker with authority thanks to dual toroidal transformers located on each side of the product. With 2 x 190 (8ohm) Watts per channel you can choose any loudspeaker, from bookshelf to large floorstanding models.

 

Pre-outs are available in a choice of balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) connectors. Up to 2 Subwoofers are easily incorporated and equipped with variable crossover selections.

 

The A12 Classic has a tremendous amount of advanced technology and flexibility and it never forgets the music as the first priority!

 



 

Tube pre-amplification
The A12 Classic is equipped with 2 tubes on the pre-amplification section for a musical, non-aggressive sound.
