T+A PA1230R Silver Mint Integrated Amplifier

1 Last unit left. This unit is a Store Demonstration unit that has sold Several Dozen speakers for us.
Pure in presentation, Quiet as a truly Uber High end component, and the look of pristine German engineering.

Phono Module can be added for 750.00

If you believe that one and one make two, this slim
integrated amplifier may give you cause
to ponder. After all, it contains two fully develop
ed separate components -
the P 1220 R
pre-amplifier and A 1230 power amplifier -
and yet is not one millimetre larger than either of
them. Where is it all? And where does that marvello
usly dynamic performance come from?
That 300 Watts of nominal power into 4 Ohms? We’ll
tell you just one secret: it’
s all in there.
And you can hear it and read it. This compact unit
combines the technology of the
A 1230 R
power amplifier and the
P 1220 R
pre-
amplifier. To protect the amplifier and the speaker
s
connected to it an electronic circuit monitors the
signals in the amplifier. This protective
circuit is not located in the signal path, so it ha
s absolutely no influence of any kind on the
sound image. The circuit monitors the input signal
before the output stage, and compares it
with the output signal. If the slightest deviation
occurs (clipping, distortion etc.) the circuit
switches off the output relays. The protective circ
uit also trips if the outputs are shorted, or if
the unit overheats.

ces such as tuner.
CD
Input sockets for connecting high-level signal sour
ces such as CD
player.
AUX 1
General-purpose pre-amplifier inputs with an input
sensitivity of
250 mV / 20 k
Ω
.
AUX 2
General purpose pre-
amplifier input with an input sensitivity of 250
mV / 20 k
