TEAC Custom NCOREx Redifines Compact Stereo Amplification
The AP-507 features TEAC’s own custom-tuned new generation ‘NCOREx’ power amplifier module. This advanced ‘x’ generation NCORE has been meticulously tuned by TEAC’s R&D team to achieve a unique specification tailored for exceptional audio performance. At the heart of its superior sound is TEAC’s in-house designed dual-mono buffer amplifier. Known for its ultra-linear performance, low distortion, and high efficiency, the TEAC-enhanced fully balanced design allows the AP-507 to reproduce music with remarkable fidelity, capturing every nuance and detail of the original recording.

Versatility for Every Audio Setup
The AP-507 brings big capabilities in a small footprint. This innovative amplifier is crafted for audiophiles who demand precision, clarity, and dynamic performance while fitting seamlessly into modern living spaces with both power and aesthetic excellence. The AP-507 is designed with flexible operation including Stereo, Bi-AMP, and BTL mono modes, delivering high power output of 170 watts per channel at 4 ohms and up to 350 watts at 8 ohms in BTL mode. This flexibility and versatility also make it an excellent choice for enhancing AV surround sound systems.

Thoughtful Mechanical Design for Audiophile-Grade Sound
Encased in a robust chassis, the AP-507 features a 2.8mm thick semi-floating aluminum top plate and an innovative 3-point Stress-Less Isolation Foot system. This precision-engineered design minimizes vibrations, creating a more open and natural listening experience.
