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.
