Advance Paris A12 APEX

The Advance Paris A12 APEX is the flagship integrated amplifier in the Apex series, celebrating three decades of French audio engineering with a rich blend of hybrid tube pre-amplification and high-power solid-state output. Designed to drive demanding loudspeakers and provide flexible system connectivity, the A12 APEX pairs musical warmth with modern functionality.

A hybrid preamplifier section incorporating ECC81 / 12AT7 vacuum tubes is combined with a powerful Class AB output stage, supported by dual toroidal transformers and a generous power supply. A switchable High-Bias mode allows extended Class A bias operation for more refined musical reproduction at moderate listening levels.

Connectivity is comprehensive, including a wide range of analogue and digital inputs, HDMI eARC for TV integration with auto power and remote volume control, Bluetooth compatibility (optional A-BTC module) and dual speaker zones for flexible system configurations. Adjustable tonal controls and multi-function outputs ensure the A12 APEX integrates seamlessly into modern hi-fi systems.
