Tsakiridis Devices Apollon

Apollon

Class AB1 2x70W

Apollon is a power amplifier in monoblock configuration.

It’s design is a double push-pull implementing 4 power tubes per monoblock.

All electronic components are through hole type soldered by hand.

Apollon utilizes our 8 layer handmade output transformers for superb sound quality.

Apollon implements a dual push-pull configuration for each channel allowing it to draw large amounts of power from the power tubes. So Apollon can drive easily power hungry loudspeakers. Gold plated RCA and XLR connectors are implemented for the signal input and high quality binding posts for the loudspeakers. The XLR balanced input is pseudo balanced. True balanced XLR input can be provided upon request.

Carefully selected values and types of the electronic components contribute to the reliable circuits operation and the high sound quality of the amplifier.

The meticulous PCB design ensures excellent behavior in SNR and distortion.

Inner signal wiring with high quality shielded signal cable. Power wiring uses high quality copper cables of more-than-needed AWG gauge, to achieve low impedance power transfer. All power cables are twisted in pairs to minimize the electromagnetic interference.

The handmade multilayer output transformers allow the amplifier to reveal the sound stage and all the music details through the entire audio spectrum.

Made by us and tested thoroughly for quality and reliability.

The same applies to the power transformer. The positioning of the transformers is such that minimizes the magnetic coupling between power and output transformers.
