 Product overview

The AP-505 is a versatile stereo power amplifier based around a high-performance, TEAC-tuned,
Hypex Ncore power amplifier module, housed within a compact and elegant case.

Capable of operating in bi-amp and BTL (Bridge Tied Load/Bridged) modes, in addition to
conventional stereo operation, the AP-505 produces a maximum 115W + 115W of output power in
stereo/bi-amp modes and 220W in BTL/bridged mode. At its heart is an Ncore power amplifier
module, made by Hypex of the Netherlands and specially tuned by TEAC’s R&D team, for superlative
sound quality

As for the exterior, lightweight aluminum-alloy panels cover a robust steel chassis. A pair of large
level meters add visual interest when the amplifier is in action, while TEAC's patent-pending ‘Pin­point’ feet, located at three strategic positions on the underside, add incision to the sound, helping to
create a more detailed and stable stereo image.

 Latest Hypex Ncore amplifier technology, tuned by TEAC

The AP-505 employs a high-performance, energy-efficient Hypex Ncore power
amplifier module which produces 115W + 115W in stereo/bi-amp modes or
220W in BTL mode. The module, which has undergone extensive listening tests
before being carefully tuned and tweaked by our engineers, easily drives a wide
range of speakers, delivering anything from a pianissimo to a fortissimo, and
everything in between. In other words, it properly reproduces the dynamics of real
music.

 Full-metal, small footprint body for rigidity, stability and elegance

Every external panel – at the front, top and sides - is formed from high-grade aluminium alloy, firmly
attached to the robust steel inner chassis. This method of construction helps reduce the transmission
of mechanical vibration, ensuring that every single element inside the unit is allowed to perform at its
best. Thanks to its convenient A4-sized footprint, the AP-505 easily slots into modern interiors where
space-efficiency is important, such as on a desktop. This is in stark contrast to most conventional bi­amp/BTL-capable power amplifiers which are usually bulky, full-width units.

 Fully-balanced design

By employing a fully-balanced circuit design from the input section to the output stage, the AP-505
keeps the audio signal as unadulterated as possible as it moves through the amplifier, the result
