The AD-1PA+ is a stereo power amplifier from Tone Winner, an updated version of the AD-1PA with a somewhat higher RCA signal-to-noise figure. The AD-1PA+ brings Tone Winner's more accomplished current engineering to dedicated stereo power amplification.

Key specs that matter

Output power is a substantial 300W into 8 ohms, matching the AD-1PA. Gain is 29.5dBu, also matching. Frequency response spans a wide 10Hz to 100,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB, matching. Signal-to-noise ratio is at least 108dB via XLR or 115dB via RCA - somewhat higher via RCA than the original AD-1PA. Total harmonic distortion plus noise is at or under an exceptionally low 0.008% at 100% global feedback, matching. Maximum power consumption is a modest 300W. At 444 x 294 x 449mm and 42kg, the AD-1PA+ shares the AD-1PA's chassis dimensions with a modest weight reduction.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean amplification reflecting the strong over-115dB RCA signal-to-noise figure and near-immeasurable 0.008% distortion figure, representing an update over the original AD-1PA.

Pairing

The substantial 300W output handles demanding loudspeaker loads with confidence.

Alternatives

Tone Winner's own original AD-1PA offers the earlier generation within the same broader power amplifier catalogue.
