TEAC AP-505 Stereo Power Amplifier, Silver Overview
The TEAC AP-505 Stereo Power Amplifier has been designed using TEAC-tuned Hypex Ncore Class-D power amplifier modules to deliver a high-fidelity, low-noise performance in either stereo, bi-amped, or bridged configurations. This amp is capable of providing 130W per channel into four-ohm loads, or up to 250W in BTL mode. It features a fully balanced circuit design and carefully selected high-quality components, ultimately satisfying the needs of audiophiles with even the most power-hungry speakers.
With its compact, A4-sized footprint and full-metal body, the AP-505 combines rigidity, stability, and elegance in a style that's distinctly TEAC, even including illuminated analogue level meters for signal display. It features XLR Balanced and RCA Unbalanced analogue audio inputs, amplifying the signal from your preamp with only negligible noise levels. As a final touch, TEAC have integrated patent-pending "Pin-Point" feet to support key points of the chassis that are most susceptible to external vibrations. The TEAC AP-505 is a power amp made for audio enthusiasts.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionHypex Ncore amplifier technology
The peak of power tech. TEAC has equipped the AP-505 with best-of-the-best to ensure a maximised performance. Not only that, but it'll be energy-efficient too, thanks to the Hypex Ncore power amplifier module which produces 130W + 130W in stereo/bu-amp modes or 250W in BTL mode. Compatible with a wide range of speakers, this cutting-edge feature helps recreate the true dynamics of your music.
Balanced design for a balanced performance
Utilising a fully balanced circuit design from the input to the output stages, the AP-505 maintains a pure, uncoloured signal throughout the entire amplification process. The result? Extremely low distortion levels, and crisp, clear audio! Hear the nuances of your music, unaffected by corrupting interference.
Pin-point feet design makes for easy installation
Featuring TEAC's patent-pending "pin-point" feet design, you're guaranteed excellent resistance to outside vibrations and a simple installation. A streamlined design makes them easy to attach to the main unit, while also considerably cutting down on vibration and resonance to help improve your soundstage.
Compact, stable, and elegant
Designed and built in a compact chassis, the AP-505 is so easy to slot into your setup. And that's important because space is so often at a premium! Additionally, that chassis is formed by an ultra-robust, high-grade aluminium alloy and steel for an excellent level of durability. Not only that, it also reduces the transmission of mechanical vibration, adding yet another noise eliminating element to the AP-505.
