Apart is a Belgian manufacturer whose products are distributed by Sennheiser.
Solid-state amp (2 X 120 W / 2, 4, 8 Ohms).
Impedance selector on the rear panel.
1/4" jacks, XLR and RCA balanced/unbalanced inputs
Outputs: headphone, speakers
-3dB limiter
THD: 0.04%
Convective heat dissipation.
This cooling system is super effective and absolutely quiet.
Nice technology.
I use this amp in my studio. It powers either Auratone Cubes or JBL 4412 or Magneplanar SMG. In other words very different speakers.
The response is very linear with all speakers. I especially like the present, clean and accurate low-end. The mid frequency range is also clear and clean. High frequencies sound ok with my JBL, but wit the SMG they sound more authentic and dynamic, so it's hard to make a statement. It's not very musical, not overemphasized but very clean.
The price on the market can vary a lot.
