Description stereo amplifier, TEAC AX-501

Compact integrated amplifier TEAC AX-501 has a very nice design and a very serious electronic components. The machine uses high quality class D amplifiers - ALC0240 ABLETEC, developing maximum output of 120 watts per channel (at load impedance 4 ohms). In addition to excellent sound quality, these amplifiers have high efficiency and consume only 68 watts when running at maximum power output and 0.5 W in Stand-by mode. For this reason, the device has no internal forced cooling system, making it absolutely silent in operation. At the same time the amplifier has a classic power supply based on a massive toroidal transformer and rectifier diode Schottky for low noise and excellent dynamic characteristics.

Another interesting feature of the amplifier TEAC AX-501 is the presence of balanced inputs. This type of connection is becoming more popular in modern Hi-Fi equipment and these outputs are equipped with the USB DAC of the middle class. The preamp in this model is fully balanced, allowing you to fully realize the potential of this type of connection. In addition to balanced, the device has three unbalanced inputs for connection of line sources, as well as access to stereotipov. The latter is built on the CCLC (without a separating capacitor) that provides a linear frequency response and wide dynamic range of sound models of headphones with any standard impedance. To connect the MSS are solid screw terminals, the contact surface of all connectors are gold plated.

The amplifier in a metal housing with thick front panel, the edges of which are stylized carrying handles, giving the TEAC AX-501 resemblance to professional audio equipment. Real decoration of the apparatus are the indicator with the yellow highlight indicating the output level. Ustroistvo comes with a remote control.
