Overview

Advance Paris A12 Integrated Amplifier Following the success of the A10 Classic , Advance Paris is offering a more powerful version, equipped with more connectors and a dual mono construction for the amplification part.    In the great tradition of Advance Paris of designing products with numerous connections, the A12 Classic is no exception to the rule... From HDMI to Phono (MM/MC), analog RCA to AES-EBU, from USB for computer to multiple optical and coaxial inputs, 2 speaker zones, Bluetooth (optional with X-FTB01 / X-FTB02 ). Exceptional power and sound quality starts with a good power supply. The A12 Classic will drive any speaker thanks to its 2 toroidal transformers located on each side of the product. With 190 W per channel in class A/B, you can choose any speaker, from bookshelf to large floorstanding. Even the outputs are well treated with Pre-OUTs in balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) connectors. And don't hesitate to connect 2 subwoofers if you wish thanks to its two subwoofer outputs. A real concentrate of technology that doesn't forget the music!
