After the success of the A10 Classic, Advance Paris introduces the A12 Classic—a more powerful version with an upgraded dual-mono construction and extensive connectivity options. Designed with the brand’s signature attention to detail, this high-performance stereo integrated amplifier offers a refined, musical sound and versatile input options, making it an ideal choice for audiophiles and HiFi enthusiasts.
The A12 Classic features two tubes in the pre-amplification section, delivering a warm, musical, and non-aggressive sound signature.
From HDMI and phono inputs (MM/MC) to analog RCA, AES-EBU, USB, optical, and coaxial connections, the A12 Classic ensures seamless integration into any setup. It also supports two speaker zones and optional Bluetooth connectivity via the X-FTB01 (aptX) or X-FTB02 (aptX HD) modules.
With 2 x 190W RMS at 8Ω and 2 x 280W RMS at 4Ω, the A12 Classic provides exceptional driving power, ensuring dynamic and immersive audio playback.
Equipped with treble, bass, balance, and bypass controls, along with a Hi Bias switch, the amplifier allows precise sound customization. The inclusion of a VU meter enhances the classic HiFi aesthetic.
