A10 APEX - The natural evolution of the A10 Classic
A new version of the legendary A10 Classic, enriched with advanced features, elegant, high-performance accessories and even better sound quality.
All at the service of a single requirement: high-fidelity.

The A10 APEX is a hybrid integrated amplifier, combining the warmth of tubes for preamplification and the power of transistors for amplification.
This subtle marriage offers great musicality, exceptional dynamics and faithful, lively sound reproduction.

The sound magic of audio tubes

Music lovers will appreciate the warmth and richness of sound offered by these tubes, often compared to the timeless smoothness of vinyl. Thanks to its hybrid technology combining tubes and transistors, the A10 APEX transforms every listening experience into an immersive one, where each instrument stands out with precision and the subtlest nuances of the music come to life.

Want to spin a record? 

The A10 APEX is compatible with vinyl turntables with MM cells (the most classic). It incorporates an RIAA phono preamplifier, so you can enjoy the full musicality of your vinyl records.

Compatible with your home-theater amplifier

Are you passionate about cinema, but don't want to give up the precision of Hi-Fi listening?
Thanks to its AMP-IN inputs, the A10 APEX can be easily integrated into a home-cinema setup.
It then provides amplification for your main left and right speakers, giving them pure Hi-Fi sound quality, far superior to that of a traditional AV amplifier.

Mono or stereo subwoofers

Correctly calibrated, the subwoofers enrich the bass register considerably, even in a demanding Hi-Fi configuration.
The A10 APEX features two subwoofer outputs can be set in mono or stereo mode, to optimize bass coherence and spatialization for your system.

A-BTC compatibility

The dongle A-BTC offers full Bluetooth connectivity: simply connect your phone, tablet or computer to the A10 APEX.
It also makes it possible to Bluetooth headset connection, ideal for listening to your tunes or watching a movie in silence, without compromising on sound quality.

The ideal partner for your television

Thanks to its HDMI eARC input, amplifier A10 APEX connects directly to your TV for easy operation.
The functions CEC ensure synchronization: when you switch on the TV, the amplifier also switches on, and the volume control is done directly from the TV remote control.
