X-P1200

Reference stereo preamp

To meet the expectations of the most demanding music lovers who pay particular attention to the final result of their audio system, and who devote a significant part of their leisure time to listening to music, we have created the X-A1200 monophonic power amplifie

Respecting your sources

The new X-P1200 preamplifier is the showcase of our expertise. A reference stereo preamplifier, it is in fact composed of two mono preamplifiers assembled in a single compartmentalized housing to ensure complete isolation of the various circuits and preamplification stages.

This design ensures better channel separation (crosstalk) and therefore a better stereo effect.

Not only does your X-P1200 feature independent preamplifier circuits for the left and right channels, but their power supplies are also designed to meet the most demanding requirements. that we have chosen to make them totally independent thanks to the use of two transformers.

The X-P1200 is equipped with 9 analog inputs, including 2 A USB B (XMOS) input, 2 coaxial digital inputs and 2 digital inputs. Output side, you have a choice of balanced XLR outputs or unbalanced RCA type. Everything has been thought out to make this preamplifier the reference for best audio systems: mains input with choke filtering and capacitors, two high-performance toroidal transformers current capacity, filtering with 4 capacitors 12000uF / 150V.

Control is by integrated circuits mounted on heat sinks. Inputs and outputs are switched by relays without loss of contact. Cinch inputs are balanced and desymmetrized using high-quality Burr Brown operational amplifiers.

Digital source processing is entrusted to an Analog Device AD-1955 converter. This converter is particularly suited to high-end and SACD applications. Digital-to-analog decoding is of the highest quality, with a signal-to-noise ratio of 123 dB and top audio quality. It features a sigmadelta multibit modulator, high-performance digital interpolation filters, and a continuous-time differential current output DAC.

Playback of audio files from a PC or MAC is entrusted to XMOS, a benchmark solution in the field of high-quality audio reproduction.

Without a doubt, the X-P1200 will be combined with the X-A1200 mono unit to create an exceptional hifi system.

REVIEW & AWARDS

Review Advance Paris X-P1200 and X-A1200: lively sound and plenty of affordable power – Read More

“The sleepover of the Advance Paris amplifier set is our first acquaintance with the products of the French manufacturer. The operation and appearance of the X-P1200 are somewhat Spartan, but the lively sound more than makes up for that. The French manufacturer has been busy creating musical pleasure and not so much with the most neutral and anatomically correct reproduction and also not with a beautiful design. The design is businesslike and Advance Paris has placed the emphasis on a pleasant and clear sound with a solid bass foundation. The sound is not quite neutral and has a small edge of warmth. The X-P1200 and X-A1200 are very pleasant company, especially when autumn or winter is raging outside. The listener runs the risk of losing track of time. ” – Sinan Kkbugur
